Proposal: 0851849PI Name: Daniel Schwartz"This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5)."This three year REU site program will engage nine undergraduate students each year in hands-on-research in the area of functional materials. In addition, two international participants, from the Technological Institute of Monterrey, will join the student cohort and will be supported by the University of Colorado (CU) Chemical and Biological Engineering Department. The students will pursue fundamental investigations of the synthesis and characterization of novel materials designed to have specific properties. Examples include nanocomposites, biomaterials, catalysts, polymers, gels, ceramics, thin films, and membranes. The key components of this REU program include a one-day orientation program, a research project chosen by the student and advised by a faculty member and graduate student or post-doc, a weekly seminar series, organized social and cultural events designed to complement the research activities, and a REU Student Poster Competition to provide feedback on student work, and to recognize exceptional achievement. Participants will also be encouraged to present a technical paper/poster within one year after participating in this program at the Annual AIChE meeting. This REU program aims to encourage students, in particular women, underrepresented minorities, and students from primarily undergraduate institutions to go on to graduate school in order to pursue careers in engineering research. The Co-Principal Investigators have a proactive recruiting strategy to improve diversity that involves a partnership with the University of Colorado -Boulder's Multicultural Engineering Program and Summer Multicultural Access to Research Training Program.

建议：0851849PI姓名：Daniel Schwartz“这个奖项是根据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REU现场项目每年将吸引9名本科生在功能材料领域进行实践研究。此外，来自蒙特雷理工学院的两名国际学员将加入学生队伍，并将得到科罗拉多大学化学和生物工程系的支持。学生将继续对具有特定性质的新材料的合成和表征进行基础研究。例子包括纳米复合材料、生物材料、催化剂、聚合物、凝胶、陶瓷、薄膜和膜。REU计划的主要组成部分包括为期一天的迎新计划，由学生选择并由教职员工和研究生或博士后提供建议的研究项目，每周一次的研讨会系列，旨在补充研究活动的组织的社会和文化活动，以及REU学生海报比赛，以提供对学生工作的反馈，并表彰杰出的成就。还将鼓励参与者在参加该计划后的一年内在AIChE年度会议上提交一份技术论文/海报。这一REU计划旨在鼓励学生，特别是女性、代表性不足的少数民族和主要是本科院校的学生继续攻读研究生，以便从事工程研究工作。联合首席调查员有一个积极主动的招聘战略，以提高多样性，其中包括与科罗拉多大学博尔德分校的多元文化工程计划和夏季多元文化获取研究培训计划的合作伙伴关系。
