PI: Kim, NamwonProposal: 1429556Title: MRI: Acquisition of a CNC Micro-Milling Workstation to Enhance Multidisciplinary Research and Teaching at Texas A&M International University and Texas A&M KingsvilleSignificanceThe new capabilities of the instrument will create an immediate and lasting impact on their ability to recruit high-quality faculty members. As Villanova hires its next generation of faculty members, it will be offer access to leading-edge equipment. The emphasis on nanomaterials fabrication and development necessitates the upgrading of their experimental facilities to attract leading researchers and educators who can make an immediate impact as they join this dynamic group. The PI and co-PIs are all dedicated to improving opportunities and access for under-represented minorities in engineering and the sciences and two of the principals on this grant are female STEM faculty members. The five PIs combined are advising 16 graduate students, 7 of whom are women, and are working with 19 undergraduate students, including 5 women. Bryn Mawr College was established in 1885 as the first institution in the US to offer Ph.D. degrees to women and the undergraduate program remains all-female, featuring 1300 women, 26% of whom are majoring in math or science. The Villanova College of Engineering also features one of the highest percentages of female students studying engineering, at almost 1/3 of the engineering school enrollment.Technical DescriptionThe requested workstation will serve as a vehicle to draw undergraduate and graduate students into multidisciplinary science and engineering research at TAMIU and TAMUK, which are two main institutions providing STEM programs to historically underrepresented minority students in South Texas. The workstation will broaden the capability of manufacturing and enhance the quality of the undergraduate research opportunities. Specifically, the new micro-manufacturing equipment will enable students to conduct research in a variety of emerging research areas, including microfabrication, microfluidic devices, and bio-micromechanicalelectrical systems (bio-MEMS), which are relatively new to students in South Texas. The PI and co-PIs are well trained in the new areas from highly research oriented institutions and they are all on the frontier of their research fields and very active in publishing and attending professional conferences to disseminate and share their research findings. They will also continue to make research experiences available any time of the year for motivated students by integrating the use of the workstation into the courses, workshops as well as senior projects and encourage them to publish scientific research.

主要研究者：Kim，Namwon提议：1429556职务：磁共振成像：收购数控微铣削工作站，以加强多学科的研究和教学在得克萨斯州A& M国际大学和得克萨斯州A& M金斯维尔意义该仪器的新功能将创造一个即时和持久的影响，他们的能力，招聘高素质的教师。随着维拉诺瓦聘用下一代教职员工，它将获得先进的设备。对纳米材料制造和开发的重视需要升级其实验设施，以吸引领先的研究人员和教育工作者，他们可以在加入这个充满活力的团体时立即产生影响。PI和co-PI都致力于为工程和科学领域代表性不足的少数民族提供更多的机会和机会，其中两名校长是女性STEM教师。这五个项目执行人总共为16名研究生提供咨询，其中7名是妇女，并与19名本科生合作，其中包括5名妇女。布林莫尔学院成立于1885年，是美国第一个提供博士学位的机构。学位授予女性，本科课程仍然全部是女性，共有1 300名女性，其中26%主修数学或科学。维拉诺瓦工程学院也是学习工程的女生比例最高的学校之一，几乎占工程学院入学人数的1/3。技术说明所要求的工作站将作为吸引本科生和研究生进入TAMIU和TAMUK多学科科学和工程研究的工具，这是两个主要的机构提供STEM计划，以历史上代表性不足的少数民族学生在南德克萨斯州。该工作站将扩大制造能力，提高本科生研究机会的质量。具体来说，新的微制造设备将使学生能够在各种新兴的研究领域进行研究，包括微制造，微流体设备和生物微机电系统（bio-MEMS），这对南德克萨斯州的学生来说是相对较新的。PI和co-PI在高度研究型机构的新领域接受了良好的培训，他们都处于其研究领域的前沿，并且非常积极地发表和参加专业会议，以传播和分享他们的研究成果。他们还将继续通过将工作站的使用融入课程，研讨会以及高级项目，并鼓励他们发表科学研究，为有动力的学生提供一年中的任何时间的研究经验。
