This three year REU Site program at Drexel University will engage 10 undergraduate students for 9 weeks in interdisciplinary research in medicine, energy, and advanced manufacturing. The REU students will be part of a multi-institutional team, including a graduate student and faculty mentor from Drexel, a faculty mentor from the participant's home institution, a Drexel freshman from the Students Tackling Advanced Research (STAR) program, and a high school teacher in an NSF funded Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) program. Students will also attend weekly seminars on research, education, and ethics, present an educational module on their research to middle school students, visit local industry and national laboratories, and attend social and cultural events. The participants will keep photo journals of their experiences. These journals will enhance and reinforce research and social experiences, and provide a tool for program assessment. At the end of the summer program, participants will present their research results at a poster presentation and will be encouraged to submit their research at professional conferences. After the program, REU participants will be encouraged to remain in contact with their interdisciplinary team through a Facebook group. Travel grants will be provided if students need to use Drexel's facilities to produce additional data that could result in a presentation or publication.Recruitment efforts will be focused on minorities, women, and underrepresented groups, and those who do not have access to advanced research facilities at their educational institutions. The PIs will recruit from regional institutions such as Delaware State University, Cheney University, Lincoln University, Swarthmore College, West Chester University, Rowan University, Villanova University, Widener University, Community College of Philadelphia, Burlington County College and Camden County College. The PIs have established strong connections with faculty at these institutions. REU students will be encouraged to pursue graduate studies and careers in science and engineering."This REU site is co-funded by the Department of Defense in partnership with the NSF REU program."

德雷克塞尔大学的这项为期三年的REU现场项目将吸引10名本科生在医学、能源和先进制造领域进行为期9周的跨学科研究。REU的学生将是一个多机构团队的一部分，其中包括一名来自Drexel的研究生和教师导师，一名来自参与者所在机构的教师导师，一名来自学生处理高级研究(STAR)计划的Drexel大一新生，以及一名参加NSF资助的教师研究体验(RET)计划的高中教师。学生还将参加每周一次的研究、教育和伦理研讨会，向中学生介绍他们的研究教育模块，参观当地的工业和国家实验室，并参加社会和文化活动。参与者将保留他们经历的照片日记。这些期刊将增强和强化研究和社会经验，并为项目评估提供工具。在暑期计划结束时，参与者将在海报演示中展示他们的研究成果，并将被鼓励在专业会议上提交他们的研究。项目结束后，REU参与者将被鼓励通过Facebook群与他们的跨学科团队保持联系。如果学生需要使用德雷克塞尔的设施来产生额外的数据，从而可能导致演讲或出版，将提供旅费补助。再资助努力将重点放在少数族裔、女性和代表性不足的群体，以及那些无法在其教育机构获得先进研究设施的人。私人投资机构将从特拉华州立大学、切尼大学、林肯大学、斯沃斯莫尔学院、西切斯特大学、罗文大学、维拉诺瓦大学、威德纳大学、费城社区学院、伯灵顿县学院和卡姆登县学院等地区机构招聘。私人投资机构与这些机构的教职员工建立了牢固的联系。REU的学生将被鼓励从事科学和工程方面的研究生学习和职业生涯。“REU网站由国防部和NSF REU项目共同资助。”
