The George E. Brown, Jr. Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (NEES) provides a unique combination of research and educational experiences designed to promote reduction in earthquake vulnerability. With support from the NSF Division of Engineering Education and Centers(EEC) and the Division of Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation(CMMI), NEESreu students will engage in state-of-the-art experiments using large-scale test facilities involving physical models, computational models, and data analysis to generate new knowledge that advances earthquake and tsunami risk mitigation. Facilities include shake tables, large-scale structural testing systems, geotechnical centrifuges, mobile field laboratories, permanently instrumented geotechnical field stations, and a tsunami wave. Students will collaborate on active NEES research projects, which tackle a breadth of high priority earthquake mitigation issues ranging from performance of the nation's infrastructure (bridges, ports, pipelines, and levees) to innovative strategies for reducing damage and losses to buildings to the interaction of structures and tsunamis. In addition, this NEESreu program will demonstrate advanced methods for preparing engineering students to participate in geographically-distributed research projects using collaboration tools that are becoming common place in research and professional practice. NEESreu students will use the latest IT collaboration tools to form virtual peer teams for supporting each other's research. Short-term and long-term assessment will provide data to better understand best practices for enhancing collaboration among geographically-distributed undergraduate researchers.The George E.

The NEESreu program aims to influence the future of earthquake engineering with special attention to training and mentoring a diverse, professionally prepared workforce, and to attract undergraduate and underrepresented students into STEM careers. Students will gain an understanding of the global impact of earthquake engineering; gain confidence using Web 2.0 technologies; gain enthusiasm for research that translates into a desire to pursue postgraduate education; and develop a network of peers that lasts beyond the REU.

乔治E.小布朗地震工程模拟网络（NEES）提供了一个独特的研究和教育经验的结合，旨在促进减少地震的脆弱性。在工程教育和中心（EEC）和土木，机械和制造创新（CMMI）的NSF部门的支持下，NEESreu学生将使用涉及物理模型，计算模型和数据分析的大型测试设施进行最先进的实验，以产生推进地震和海啸风险缓解的新知识。设施包括振动台，大型结构测试系统，土工离心机，移动的现场实验室，永久仪表土工现场站，和海啸波。学生将在积极的NEES研究项目，解决高优先级的抗震减灾问题的广度合作，从国家的基础设施（桥梁，港口，管道和堤坝）的性能，以减少建筑物的损坏和损失的创新战略结构和海啸的相互作用。此外，该NEESreu计划将展示先进的方法，使工程专业的学生能够使用协作工具参与地理分布的研究项目，这些工具在研究和专业实践中越来越普遍。NEESreu的学生将使用最新的IT协作工具，形成虚拟的同行团队，以支持彼此的研究。短期和长期评估将提供数据，以更好地了解最佳做法，加强地理分布的本科研究人员之间的合作。小布朗地震工程模拟网络（NEES）提供了一个独特的研究和教育经验的结合，旨在促进减少地震的脆弱性。在NSF工程教育和中心部门的支持下，NEESreu学生将使用涉及物理模型，计算模型和数据分析的大型测试设施进行最先进的实验，以产生推进地震和海啸风险缓解的新知识。学生将在积极的NEES研究项目，解决高优先级的抗震减灾问题的广度合作，从国家的基础设施（桥梁，港口，管道和堤坝）的性能，以减少建筑物的损坏和损失的创新战略结构和海啸的相互作用。NEESreu计划旨在影响地震工程的未来，特别关注培训和指导多元化，专业准备的劳动力，并吸引本科生和代表性不足的学生进入STEM职业。学生将了解地震工程的全球影响;使用Web 2.0技术获得信心;获得研究热情，转化为追求研究生教育的愿望;并建立一个超越REU的同行网络。
