REU Site: Biological Materials and Processes (BioMaP)

建议：0851519 PI名称：Narasimhan，Balaji这三年更新REU网站计划在爱荷华州州立大学（ISU）将提供一个机会，为本科生做动手研究集中在两个研究主题：1）生物材料和生物过程。学生将成为跨学科团体的积极成员，并将与教师，博士后，研究生和行业互动。 部分学生还将参加在墨西哥蒙特雷技术与研究所（ITESM）的国际研究体验，该体验将以与国际空间大学现有的伙伴关系为基础，为学生提供在全球环境中的宝贵技能。这些活动包括：短期课程、联合研讨会/会议、讲习班、研究设施图尔斯参观和实地考察。 在课程结束时，学生将参加一个联合海报研讨会与其他ISU本科课程的学生一起。 将招募一批有才华和多样化的学生，并特别努力吸引妇女和少数民族。 一些学生在全球环境中工作的经验将从依赖发展到独立，并使他们能够获得终身技能，这将影响他们对科学和工程以及社会的贡献。

Proposal: 0851519PI Name: Narasimhan, BalajiThis three year renewal REU site program at Iowa State University (ISU) will provide an opportunity for undergraduate students to do hands-on research focused on two research themes: 1) Biological Materials and Biological Processes. The students will be active members of interdisciplinary groups and will interact with faculty, post-docs, graduate students, and industry. Some of the students will also participate in an international research experience at the Instituto Tecnologico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey (ITESM), Mexico, which will build on an existing partnership with ISU, and provide students with valuable skills in a global environment.In addition to the research experience, a variety of enrichment activities have been incorporated. These include: short courses, joint seminars/meetings, workshops, tours of research facilities, and field trips. At the end of the program, the students will participate in a joint poster symposium together with students from other ISU undergraduate programs. A talented and diverse group of students will be recruited, with special efforts made to attract women and minorities. The experience some students will get working in a global environment will evolve from dependent to independent status and will enable them to walk away with life-long skills that will impact their contributions to science and engineering and to society..
