BROADER SIGNIFICANCE OF THE PROJECT:This REU site renewal site advances applications of additive manufacturing has the powerful advantage of providing opportunities for interdisciplinary projects that culminate in excellent applied engineering research activities. The activities will help participants develop a passion for lifelong learning and will encourage entrepreneurship and global impact involving the useful "sometimes patentable" devices that will be created. The MSOE-REU Site will continue to be a research incubator for several first-generation and traditionally underrepresented students from all across the nation, especially from second tier/ non Ph.D. granting schools. To date, this program has provided 161 students with research opportunities. Of the 148 students who have completed their baccalaureate, 59% have completed or are pursuing advanced degrees, with several in faculty positions. The most recent award has served 21 students, of whom 67% are from other institutions, 38% minorities and others (14% African American), and 52% women. Of the 8 who have completed a baccalaureate, 75% are in graduate school. The commitment to diversity, strong mentoring environment, interdisciplinary nature of the program, and an established record of impact on participants' decisions to pursue graduate studies will continue to be major markers of the MSOE-REU. A new feature in the proposed site is to broaden the participants' role in diversity through 1) creation of five K-12 learning modules amidst interaction with teachers and students on campus during summer and 2) enablement of a global perspective among all participants and advisors while two students engage in laser-based materials research at the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research and the University of Johannesburg, South Africa during the middle six weeks of the 10-week REU program.PROJECT DESCRIPTION:This three-year summer REU renewal site at MSOE, funded by the National Science Foundation's Division of Engineering Education and Centers, will offer seven undergraduates annually opportunities to conduct research in advances (micro-, hybrid, laser-based metal) and applications (bio-nano) of additive manufacturing (AM). The range of new and functional AM applications and materials is growing rapidly and unprecedented technological advances in this field are affecting our daily lives. Also, the AM application, in addition to its unique features of accuracy, reduction in development and delivery time, and reliability, is becoming cost-effective because of the advancement of materials. The international component, with two participants conducting materials science research in a global setting during the middle six weeks of the program provides a new dynamic to all participants enriching their experience and bringing a global perspective besides the collaborative research accomplishments. These two participants will be typically MSOE juniors who have had exposure to AM on campus and have completed materials science course(s) with an adequate preparation to participate in advanced materials research at the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, South Africa and the University of Johannesburg. The five participants conducting AM applications research on campus will be chosen among applicants from other institutions; they will create learning modules for K-12 outreach from their own research projects and will interact with Project Lead the Way teachers and students on the premises. Bi-weekly virtual meetings will be arranged for interaction among all participants. This ten-week program is geared to attract a broad mix of students, typically 50% women, 25% underrepresented minorities and more than 60% from other institutions. Participants will conduct research in a strongly mentored environment. Students will receive a career-enriching experience from a well-established and well-run program culminating in a final paper, a national conference presentation and a strong desire to pursue a graduate degree. Two additional participants under NSF Center for Compact and Efficient Fluid Power work alongside these students each year, making the team a rich cohort with excellent collaborative research interactions.

该项目的更广泛的意义：此REU网站更新站点的进步添加剂制造的应用具有有力的优势，可以为跨学科项目提供机会，这些项目最终在出色的应用工程研究活动中达到顶峰。这些活动将帮助参与者对终身学习产生热情，并鼓励企业家精神和全球影响，涉及将创建的有用的“有时可专利”的设备。 MSOE-REU网站将继续成为来自全国各地的几位第一代，传统上代表性不足的学生的研究孵化器，尤其是从第二级/非博士学位。授予学校。迄今为止，该计划为161名学生提供了研究机会。 在完成学士学位的148名学生中，有59％的学生已经完成或攻读高级学位，有几个任教职位。最近的奖项为21名学生提供了服务，其中67％来自其他机构，38％的少数民族和其他机构（14％的非裔美国人）和52％的妇女。 在完成学士学位的8名中，有75％在研究生院。 对多样性，强大的指导环境，计划的跨学科性质的承诺以及对参与者追求研究生研究的决定的既定记录将继续是MSOE-REU的主要标志。 拟议网站中的一项新功能是通过1）在夏季与校园的老师和学生之间的互动中创建五个K-12学习模块，以扩大参与者在多样性中的作用。计划。项目描述：由国家科学基金会的工程教育和中心部资助的三年夏季REU更新地点将为每年提供七名大学生提供进步研究（Micro-，Micro-，混合，基于激光的金属）和增材制造（AM）的应用程序（Bio-Nano）。新的和功能性的AM应用和材料的范围正在迅速发展，并且在该领域的技术进步正在影响我们的日常生活。 此外，由于材料的进步，AM应用程序除了其准确性的独特特征，开发时间和可靠性的独特特征，开发时间和可靠性以及可靠性。该国际组成部分在该计划的六个星期中，有两名参与者在全球环境中进行材料科学研究为所有参与者提供了一种新的动态，以丰富他们的经验并带来合作研究成就以外的全球观点。这两个参与者通常是曾在校园内接触AM并完成材料科学课程的大三学生，并为参加科学与工业研究委员会（南非和约翰内斯堡大学）的高级材料研究做出了充分的准备。 其他机构的申请人将选择对校园进行AM应用研究的五名参与者；他们将从自己的研究项目中为K-12宣传创建学习模块，并将与项目互动以领导前提的教师和学生的方式。 每两周的虚拟会议将安排在所有参与者之间进行互动。这项为期十周的计划旨在吸引广泛的学生，通常是50％的女性，25％的代表性少数族裔不足，超过其他机构的60％以上。参与者将在强烈指导的环境中进行研究。学生将从最终的良好且运营的课程中获得职业生涯的经验，最终在最后一篇论文中，全国会议演讲以及攻读研究生学位的强烈愿望。 NSF中心的另外两名参与者每年都与这些学生一起工作，并与这些学生一起工作，使团队成为丰富的队列，并具有出色的协作研究互动。
