Intellectual MeritThis three year REU site program at the Colorado School of Mines will engage 10 undergraduate students each year in research focused in the area of novel polymer materials related to cutting-edge technologies like fuel cells and solar materials. The overall objectives of the REU site program are: 1) engage and educate students in polymer science and engineering; 2) emphasize diversity in research teams with respect to experience (from faculty to freshmen, non-Ph.D. granting institutions, etc.), gender, and ethnicity; and 3) quantify successes of the program through assessment, including number of participants earning their Bachelors degrees; presentations at national and regional meetings, and publications in peer reviewed journals. A unique feature of this REU program is the exchange program which will allow the students to experience another research lab during the second half of the summer. Additionally, a series of technical workshops will provide the students with a broad introduction to polymer science and engineering. Furthermore, a complimentary set of workshops will cover professional skills development. At the end of each summer, the students will prepare and present posters on their research accomplishments.Broader ImpactsThis REU site program will encompass research in polymer science and engineering while targeting highly qualified chemistry and chemical engineering students from diverse backgrounds. The student-learning outcomes of the project focus on engaging and creating enthusiasm for science and engineering. The research has direct ramification to the Army's fuel cell program. The proposed REU site program will target highly qualified chemistry and chemical engineering students from diverse backgrounds.

这个为期三年的科罗拉多矿业学院REU现场项目每年将招收10名本科生，重点研究与燃料电池和太阳能材料等尖端技术相关的新型聚合物材料领域。REU现场计划的总体目标是：1)参与和教育学生从事聚合物科学和工程；2)强调研究团队在经验方面的多样性（从教师到新生，非博士）。授予机构等)、性别和种族；3)通过评估量化项目的成功，包括获得学士学位的参与者人数；在国家和区域会议上发表演讲，并在同行评议的期刊上发表文章。这个REU项目的一个独特之处在于交换项目，该项目将允许学生在暑假的后半段体验另一个研究实验室。此外，一系列的技术研讨会将为学生提供高分子科学和工程的广泛介绍。此外，一套免费的研讨会将涵盖专业技能的发展。在每年夏天结束时，学生们将准备并展示他们的研究成果的海报。更广泛的影响这个REU网站计划将包括聚合物科学和工程方面的研究，同时针对来自不同背景的高素质化学和化学工程学生。该项目的学生学习成果侧重于吸引和创造对科学和工程的热情。这项研究对陆军的燃料电池计划有直接的影响。提议的REU现场计划将针对来自不同背景的高素质化学和化学工程学生。
