This three-year REU Site program at Missouri University of Science and Technology (Missouri S&T) is focused in the area of Additive Manufacturing (AM). Each year eight undergraduate students from U.S. universities outside of Missouri S&T will join the Missouri S&T team to engage in exciting, interdisciplinary AM research. There will also be one undergraduate student who will participate during the academic year. Investment in this program will help the United States maintain a competitive advantage in this critical manufacturing technology. To meet the interdisciplinary nature of AM, the proposed program will be a joint effort of the Departments of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Material Science and Engineering, and Information Science and Technology, as well as the Intelligent Systems Center and the Center for Aerospace Manufacturing Technologies on the Missouri S&T campus.The goals of this REU Site program are to: 1) introduce undergraduate students to all aspects of AM; 2) provide students with individual challenging research projects in AM that include analytical, computer aided design and analysis, and hands-on components in state-of-the-art research laboratories; 3) integrate individual research projects into an interdisciplinary, team based environment where research results will be used to fabricate 3D components; 4) attract talented undergraduate students, particularly underrepresented students, to conduct research in AM and motivate them to pursue graduate studies; and 5) provide extracurricular activities to expose the students to other exciting areas of research and cutting-edge technologies.This REU Site program includes the following components: 1) a ten week summer program on AM research that combines analytical studies and computer aided design and analysis with a hands-on laboratory experience; 2) a set of challenging individual research projects utilizing the skills of mechanical engineering, manufacturing engineering, and materials science and engineering, to address critical issues in AM; 3) integrated individual projects in an interdisciplinary, team-based environment to fabricate functional 3D components; 4) a mentoring system for the undergraduate students that includes a network of students and faculty; 5) weekly roundtable discussions where industry and faculty experts discuss topics such as emerging technologies, ethics, graduate school opportunities, etc.; and 6)an environment where the undergraduate students learn effective communication in a variety of media, teamwork, project management, and leadership skills.This REU Site program will target undergraduates in their junior or senior year in the fields of mechanical engineering, manufacturing engineering, and materials science and engineering. Particular attention will be paid to underrepresented students in order to ensure program diversity. This REU program will encourage undergraduates to pursue graduate education.

密苏里科技大学 (Missouri S&T) 为期三年的 REU 现场项目重点关注增材制造 (AM) 领域。每年，来自密苏里科技以外的美国大学的八名本科生将加入密苏里科技团队，从事令人兴奋的跨学科增材制造研究。还将有一名本科生在学年期间参加。 对该计划的投资将有助于美国在这一关键制造技术方面保持竞争优势。为了满足增材制造的跨学科性质，拟议的项目将由机械与航空航天工程系、制造工程系、材料科学与工程系、信息科学与技术系以及密苏里科技园区智能系统中心和航空航天制造技术中心共同努力。REU站点项目的目标是：1）向本科生介绍增材制造的各个方面； 2) 为学生提供个人具有挑战性的增材制造研究项目，包括分析、计算机辅助设计和分析，以及在最先进的研究实验室中的实践组件； 3) 将单个研究项目整合到跨学科、基于团队的环境中，研究成果将用于制造 3D 组件； 4）吸引有才华的本科生，特别是代表性不足的学生，进行增材制造研究，并激励他们攻读研究生； 5) 提供课外活动，让学生接触其他令人兴奋的研究领域和尖端技术。REU 站点项目包括以下组成部分：1) 为期十周的增材制造研究夏季项目，将分析研究、计算机辅助设计和分析与实验室实践经验相结合； 2) 一系列具有挑战性的个人研究项目，利用机械工程、制造工程以及材料科学与工程的技能，解决增材制造的关键问题； 3) 将各个项目集成到跨学科、基于团队的环境中，以制造功能性 3D 组件； 4）本科生导师系统，包括学生和教师网络； 5）每周举行圆桌讨论，行业和教师专家讨论新兴技术、道德、研究生院机会等话题； 6) 为本科生学习各种媒体、团队合作、项目管理和领导技能的有效沟通环境。该 REU 站点项目将针对机械工程、制造工程以及材料科学与工程领域的大三或大四本科生。将特别关注代表性不足的学生，以确保项目的多样性。 REU 项目将鼓励本科生攻读研究生教育。
