This Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Site focuses on characterization of advanced materials. Under the supervision of faculty from Mechanical and Materials Engineering, Chemistry, and Civil Engineering, undergraduate student participants utilize tools such as electron microscopy, scanning probe microscopy, infrared spectroscopy, nanoindentation, and other methods to understand the relationships between the processing, structure and properties of a wide range of materials. Ten undergraduate students, including freshmen and sophomores, from a wide variety of disciplines and schools are recruited nationwide every year for the ten-week summer research experience. The Site also adds new faculty members over its life to encourage starting faculty to provide significant undergraduate research experiences. In addition to independent projects, students participate in a series of short workshops on research skills and presentation skills to enhance their ability to communicate their work to broad audiences. Research projects are presented at a campus-wide poster session at the end of the summer with up to 100 participants. This REU Site is suppported by the Department of Defense in partnership with the NSF REU program.

本科生（REU）网站的研究经验侧重于先进材料的表征。在机械和材料工程，化学和土木工程教师的监督下，本科生参与者利用电子显微镜，扫描探针显微镜，红外光谱，纳米压痕等工具和其他方法来了解各种材料的加工，结构和性能之间的关系。 每年在全国范围内招募10名本科生，包括大一和大二学生，参加为期10周的暑期研究活动。 该网站还增加了新的教师在其生命，以鼓励开始教师提供重要的本科研究经验。 除了独立的项目，学生参加一系列关于研究技能和演讲技巧的短期研讨会，以提高他们向广大受众传达工作的能力。 研究项目在夏季结束时在校园范围内的海报会议上展示，最多有100名参与者。该REU网站由国防部与NSF REU计划合作支持。
