The University of Florida Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site on Infrastructure Materials provides 10 students each year the opportunity to work on interdisciplinary research that focuses on the behavior of infrastructure materials and components, particularly with respect to long-term durability and performance. Several different academic disciplines, including Materials Science, Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, and Electrical Engineering are represented, exposing students to a broad, interdisciplinary environment and providing them with diverse possibilities for research projects.Two major events bookend the research experience. The activities begin with a two-day workshop introducing the students to the issues of infrastructure materials and corresponding research methods. At the end of the summer there is a two-day conference, at which the REU students give presentations and/or posters. In addition to the core research experience, students participate in activities to enhance their professional development, including seminars, laboratory tours, and a workshop on professional communications. There is also an extensive set of social activities at which students interact with each other and students from REUs in other disciplines in order to develop a broader social and professional network.This award is co-supported by the Division of Materials Research and the Division of Engineering Education and Centers.

佛罗里达大学的大学生研究经验（REU）在基础设施材料上的网站每年为10名学生提供跨学科研究的机会，该研究重点是基础设施材料和组件的行为，尤其是在长期耐用性和绩效方面。代表了几个不同的学术学科，包括材料科学，土木工程，机械工程，化学工程和电气工程，使学生接触到广泛的跨学科环境，并为他们提供了研究项目的各种可能性。活动始于为期两天的研讨会，向学生介绍基础设施材料和相应的研究方法的问题。在夏季结束时，有为期两天的会议，REU学生在该会议上进行演讲和/或海报。除了核心研究经验外，学生还参加活动以增强其专业发展，包括研讨会，实验室旅行和专业沟通研讨会。还有一系列广泛的社交活动，学生相互互动，而来自其他学科的REUS的学生则是为了建立更广泛的社会和专业网络。该奖项由材料研究部以及工程教育和中心的部门共同支持。
