This three-year international REU Site program is focused on automotive technologies related to the fields of mechanical engineering, mechatronics, computer science, collaborative engineering, and their intersections. This program will leverage a strong, ongoing partnership between the Technische Universitat Darmstadt (TUD), Germany and Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (VT) that includes joint research, team-teaching courses, BSME senior-year abroad programs, and dual-BSME and dual-MSME degree programs, to provide the REU students with firsthand experience demonstrating the globalization of the engineering profession and the importance of collaborative engineering. The REU students will have the option to conduct research at VT one summer, and then continue this work at TUD the following summer.The primary purpose of this REU Site program is to provide students with the opportunity to practice global engineering research in an alternative, top-flight engineering culture. The secondary purpose is to enhance and broaden the interface of the transatlantic faculty and student collaborations as the mentoring research teams collaborate with their REU students engaged in joint transatlantic research projects, and as the REU students transition their research from VT one summer to TUD the subsequent summer. This REU Site program will encourage students to pursue graduate studies and possibly research careers in general and in particular by pursuing a dual-MS degree jointly offered by the TUD and VT. It will also provide US industry and government agencies with future employees that are internationally competitive, globally engaged, and comfortable with and experienced at operating overseas, and contribute data towards the development of a predictive model that best matches an individual student with the most effective mode of global exposure, for the benefit of future international REU programs.

这个为期三年的国际REU Site计划专注于与机械工程，机电一体化，计算机科学，协同工程及其交叉领域相关的汽车技术。该计划将利用工业大学达姆施塔特（TUD），德国和弗吉尼亚理工学院和州立大学（VT）之间强大的，持续的合作伙伴关系，包括联合研究，团队教学课程，BSME高年级海外课程，双BSME和双MSME学位课程，为REU学生提供第一手经验，展示工程专业的全球化和合作的重要性。工程. REU的学生可以选择在VT进行一个夏天的研究，然后在TUD继续这项工作下一个夏天。这个REU网站计划的主要目的是为学生提供在替代，一流的工程文化实践全球工程研究的机会。 第二个目的是加强和扩大跨大西洋教师和学生合作的界面，因为指导研究团队与他们的REU学生合作从事联合跨大西洋研究项目，并作为REU学生从VT一个夏天过渡到TUD随后的夏天他们的研究。这个REU网站计划将鼓励学生继续研究生学习，并可能在一般的研究职业生涯，特别是通过追求由TUD和VT联合提供的双MS学位。 它还将为美国行业和政府机构提供具有国际竞争力，全球参与，适应和经验丰富的海外运营的未来员工，并为预测模型的开发提供数据，该模型最适合单个学生与最有效的全球曝光模式，以利于未来的国际REU计划。
