The planned University of Tennessee, Knoxville site of the I/UCRC for Integrative Materials Joining for Energy Applications has the potential to allow accelerated development and deployment of hybrid material systems for energy applications and will be focused on the scale-up of proven laboratory developments relevant to automotive, aerospace, and energy applications. The research has the potential to enable scientific discoveries related to the thermo-mechanical-chemical properties of interfaces between these constituent materials to be achieved. Advanced in-situ and ex-situ characterization techniques will be applied to understand issues such as cyclic thermal and stress loading, residual stress development, and microstructural evolution. This new site plans to produce fundamental research at the crossroads of joining and additive manufacturing. The focus of the planned site on joining and additive manufacturing of advanced materials is of central importance to the competitiveness of the automotive, aerospace, and energy sectors. The planned new site plans to work with Hardin Valley Elementary School (HVES) to recruit students for forming and mentoring independent FIRST LEGOfi League (FLL) team(s) as they tackle real-world engineering challenges. This interaction with elementary school children might be their first towards introducing and encouraging them to consider STEM choices in their future academic careers. Additionally, the proposed site of CIMJSEA will collaborate with non-profit organizations in Tennessee and the College of Engineering Office of Diversity Programs in order to foster interaction with underrepresented groups over a wide range of ages.

计划中的田纳西大学诺克斯维尔I/UCRC能源应用集成材料连接站点有可能加速开发和部署用于能源应用的混合材料系统，并将专注于扩大与汽车，航空航天和能源应用相关的成熟实验室开发。这项研究有可能使与这些组成材料之间界面的热机械化学性质有关的科学发现得以实现。先进的原位和非原位表征技术将被应用于了解循环热应力加载，残余应力发展和微观结构演变等问题。这个新网站计划在连接和增材制造的十字路口进行基础研究。计划中的工厂专注于先进材料的连接和增材制造，对于汽车、航空航天和能源行业的竞争力至关重要。计划中的新场地计划与哈丁谷小学（HVES）合作，招募学生组建和指导独立的FIRST LEGOfi League（FLL）团队，以应对现实世界的工程挑战。与小学生的这种互动可能是他们第一次向他们介绍并鼓励他们在未来的学术生涯中考虑STEM选择。此外，CIMJSEA的拟议网站将与田纳西州的非营利组织和多样性计划工程办公室的学院合作，以促进与年龄范围广泛的代表性不足的群体的互动。
