BROADER SIGNIFICANCE OF THE PROJECT:This REU Site program will provide rigorous training in research methods for undergraduate students in the fields of mechanical engineering, manufacturing engineering, and materials science and engineering. Particular attention will be paid to underrepresented students in order to ensure program diversity and students from institutions with limited STEM opportunities in order to provide research opportunities to students that otherwise cannot access these opportunities. The program will provide undergraduate students with the opportunity to engage with industrial experts and will encourage the students to pursue graduate education. Investment in this program will help the United States maintain a competitive advantage in the critical manufacturing technology of Additive Manufacturing (AM).The effort will foster interest in a key competitive technology area and provide valuable knowledge related to the following components: 1) a ten week summer program on AM research that combines analytical studies and computer aided design and analysis with a hands-on laboratory experience, 2) challenging individual research projects utilizing the skills of mechanical engineering, manufacturing engineering, materials science and engineering, and information technology, to address critical issues in AM, 3) structured mentoring system for the students that includes a network of students and faculty, 4) opportunities where industry and faculty experts discuss topics such as state-of-the-art research, emerging technologies, etc., and 5) an environment where students learn effective communication in a variety of media.PROJECT DESCRIPTION:This three-year program at Missouri University of Science and Technology (Missouri S&T) is focused in the area of Additive Manufacturing (AM). Each year ten undergraduate students will join the Missouri S&T team of faculty and graduate students to engage in exciting, interdisciplinary AM research. To meet the interdisciplinary nature of AM, the proposed program will be a joint effort of the Departments of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Material Science and Engineering, and Information Science and Technology, as well as the Center for Aerospace Manufacturing Technologies on the Missouri S&T campus.The goals of this REU Site program are to: 1) educate undergraduate students to the awesome possibilities AM allows and stimulate them to learn more, 2) provide students with individual challenging research projects in AM that include analytical, computer aided design and analysis, and hands-on components in world class facilities with state-of-the-art equipment, 3) attract talented undergraduate students, particularly underrepresented students (at least 35% female and 20% minority) and students from institutions with limited STEM research opportunities (at least 50%), to conduct research in AM and motivate them to pursue graduate studies, and 4) provide activities that expose the students to other exciting areas of research and cutting?edge technologies, improve their communication skills, etc.

该项目的更广泛的意义：该REU网站计划将为机械工程，制造工程以及材料科学和工程领域的本科生提供严格的研究方法培训。将特别关注代表性不足的学生，以确保计划多样性和来自STEM机会有限的机构的学生，以便向无法获得这些机会的学生提供研究机会。该计划将为本科生提供与工业专家互动的机会，并鼓励学生接受研究生教育。对该计划的投资将有助于美国在添加剂制造的关键制造技术（AM）中保持竞争优势。该努力将促进对关键竞争技术领域的兴趣，并提供与以下组成部分相关的有价值的知识：1）在AM研究上进行十周夏季计划，将分析研究和计算机研究的设计和分析与手动的实验性工程相结合，以挑战工程的工程和机制的工程，2）技术，解决AM中的关键问题，3）为学生提供的结构化指导系统，包括学生和教职员工网络，4）工业和教师专家讨论主题，例如最先进的研究，新兴技术等主题，以及5）学生在各种媒体上学习有效的沟通。 （是）。每年，十名本科生都会加入密苏里州S＆T教职员工和研究生团队，从事令人兴奋的跨学科研究。为了满足AM的跨学科性质，拟议的计划将是机械和航空航天工程，制造工程，材料科学和工程以及信息科学和技术的部门的共同努力，以及在密苏里州S＆T校园内的航空航天制造技术中心，这使得该REU站点的目标是：1）促进学生的目标是：1）促进学生的目标是：1）促进了：1）促进了：1）促进了：1）促进了：1） individual challenging research projects in AM that include analytical, computer aided design and analysis, and hands-on components in world class facilities with state-of-the-art equipment, 3) attract talented undergraduate students, particularly underrepresented students (at least 35% female and 20% minority) and students from institutions with limited STEM research opportunities (at least 50%), to conduct research in AM and motivate them to pursue graduate studies, and 4) provide activities that expose the students to other exciting研究和切割的领域？边缘技术，提高他们的沟通能力等。
