REU Site: Engineered Materials for Tissue Engineering and Drug Delivery

加州大学圣地亚哥分校雅各布斯工程学院的本科生研究经验（REU）网站为期三年的更新将专注于跨工程部门扩大生物材料的研究实力，并让学生接触生物材料研究，重点是组织工程和药物输送的应用。该网站将提供较低的司，本科生从传统上代表性不足的群体，有限的研究机会，与动手的生物材料研究经验，教师和近同行的指导，在当地和国家会议的研究报告，并鼓励继续研究生培训的专业发展活动在生物材料。 在为期三年的时间里，该REU计划将让本科生参加为期10周的密集夏季研究体验，重点是通过访问UCSD最先进的设施，尖端的研究项目和有成就的教师导师来产生新的生物材料知识。“靴子训练营”将在计划的第一周进行，以确保所有参与者都有必要的基本技能，在他们的研究经验取得成功。社区建设，专业发展活动，每周的研究技能研讨会，基于生物材料的REU期刊俱乐部，以及出席和参加研究会议和专业会议是这个REU网站的组成部分，并将导致受过更好训练的本科生谁是积极追求生物材料的研究生培训。

This three year renewal of a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site from the Jacobs School of Engineering at the University of California-San Diego will focus on the expanding research strength in biomaterials across engineering departments and expose students to biomaterials research with a focus on applications in tissue engineering and drug delivery. This Site will provide lower-division, undergraduate students from traditionally underrepresented groups, with limited research opportunities, with a hands-on biomaterials research experience, faculty and near-peer mentoring, research presentations at local and national meetings, and professional development activities that encourage continued graduate training in biomaterials. Over a three year period, this REU program will engage undergraduate students in a 10-week intensive, summer research experience focused on the generation of new biomaterials knowledge made possible through access to state-of-the-art facilities at UCSD, cutting-edge research projects, and accomplished faculty mentors. A "boot camp" will be conducted during the first week of the program to ensure that all participants have the necessary basic skills required to succeed in their research experience. Community building, professional development activities, weekly research skills workshops, a biomaterials-based REU journal club, and attendance and participation in research conferences and professional meetings are components of this REU Site and will result in better-trained undergraduate students who are highly motivated to pursue graduate training in biomaterials.
