Proposal: 0851708PI Name: Regina Hannemann"This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5)."This three year Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site program at the University of Kentucky will engage students in research focused in the fields of Electrical and Computer Engineering. The program objectives are as follows: 1) provide underrepresented students and those from institutions with limited research opportunities a research experience that will increase their confidence and ability to contribute to the body of engineering knowledge; 2) improve student understanding of the nature of research practice and scientific reasoning; 3) provide students with a collegial partnership experience with faculty, peers, and research staff; 4) increase student appreciation of the importance of coursework to the understanding of engineering research; 5) improve oral and written comprehension and communication of technical knowledge; 6) expose students to research instrumentation, measurement techniques, documentation, and laboratory management; and 7) motivate students to pursue graduate studies and research careers.In addition, students will participate in weekly seminars, professional development workshops, field trips to local industry, and social events. The 8-week summer research program will culminate in a Departmental Research Symposium where students will present their work in written an oral forms. Two students from each summer cohort will be awarded travel grants to enable them to present their work in conjunction with their research mentor at the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) and Frontiers in Education (FIE) conferences. Recruitment efforts will target women, underrepresented minorities, and students from academic institutions with limited opportunities for research. Results will be disseminated through presentations at conferences, journal publications, and potential workshops regarding recruitment and retention of underrepresented minority students.In addition to fostering the integration of research and education through an immersive research experience, this REU program will develop student's critical thinking, collaboration, and presentation skills as well as provide students with an appreciation for the advantages of long-term collegial relationships, advanced degree studies, and lifelong learning.

提案：0851708 PI姓名：里贾纳·汉内曼“该奖项是根据2009年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法111-5）资助的。“这个为期三年的研究经验，为本科生（REU）网站计划在肯塔基州的大学将从事研究集中在电气和计算机工程领域的学生。 该计划的目标如下：1）提供代表性不足的学生和那些来自研究机会有限的机构的研究经验，这将增加他们的信心和能力，以促进工程知识的身体; 2）提高学生对研究实践和科学推理的性质的理解; 3）为学生提供与教师，同行和研究人员的合议伙伴关系的经验; 4）提高学生对课程工作的重要性的认识，以了解工程研究; 5）提高口头和书面的理解和技术知识的交流; 6）让学生接触研究仪器，测量技术，文件和实验室管理;以及7）激励学生追求研究生学习和研究事业。此外，学生将参加每周一次的研讨会，专业发展研讨会，实地考察当地工业，和社会活动。 为期8周的夏季研究计划将在部门研究研讨会上达到高潮，学生将以书面和口头形式展示他们的工作。 来自每个夏季队列的两名学生将获得旅行赠款，使他们能够在美国工程教育协会（ASEE）和教育前沿（FIE）会议上与他们的研究导师一起展示他们的工作。招聘工作将针对妇女、代表性不足的少数民族以及研究机会有限的学术机构的学生。 结果将通过在会议上的演讲，期刊出版物，以及关于招聘和保留代表性不足的少数民族学生的潜在研讨会进行传播。除了通过沉浸式的研究体验促进研究和教育的整合，REU计划将培养学生的批判性思维，协作，和演讲技巧，并为学生提供对长期学院关系，高级学位学习和终身学习的优势的欣赏。
