项目摘要

This Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site program at the University of South Florida (USF), offers state-of-the-art, inter-disciplinary research experiences in functional materials, especially, nanomaterials and hybrid composite materials, to diverse and talented cohorts of undergraduates, from institutions with limited or no research opportunities. Functional materials and structures with novel properties and functionalities continue to be developed, however much engineering innovation is required to translate them into products useful to society. The goal of this project is to provide research opportunities to allow exploration of reproducible, scalable and economically viable processes using interdisciplinary engineering approaches within the facilities available at the Functional Materials Research Institute (FMRI), the location of this project at USF. Examples of research topics are the areas of 2D nanomaterials, which have potential for large-scale revolutions in optoelectronics, photocatalysis and photovoltaics, and hybrid composite materials for additive manufacturing, and potential for the fabrication of a variety of structures, shapes and sizes from the nano to macro worlds. The anticipated outcome of this project is a new generation of materials science and engineering researchers who can put together the interdisciplinary skills and approaches necessary to translate the large national investments made in the development of nano and hybrid materials over the past two decades into products. It is expected that the participants will be motivated towards graduate school and will develop skills common to methodologies involved in the process of engineering innovation. Beyond the research opportunities planned for the participants, activities are planned to promote improved communication and mentoring skills for the students and faculty. This REU Site offers undergraduates, in collaboration with USF FMRI faculty and graduate students, opportunities to conduct research during a 10-week summer program, on state-of-the-art technologies and advanced research projects on functional materials. In addition to their research, students will participate in research seminars, research meetings, and professional development seminars. The seminars will include topics such as improving written and oral communication skills, technical presentations, graduate education, career paths, and ethics in science and engineering. The 10-week program will be co-located with the on-going NSF Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) Site and the Research Experiences for High School Students (REHSS) which will leverage synergies between the programs. The discoveries made during these collaborations will be communicated to the broader scientific community via publications and presentations.

南佛罗里达大学（USF）的本科生研究经验（REU）网站计划，为功能材料，特别是纳米材料和混合复合材料的多样化和有才华的本科生群体提供最先进的跨学科研究经验，来自研究机会有限或没有研究机会的机构。具有新特性和功能的功能材料和结构不断被开发，但需要大量的工程创新才能将其转化为对社会有用的产品。该项目的目标是提供研究机会，允许在功能材料研究所（FMRI）的设施内使用跨学科工程方法探索可重复，可扩展和经济可行的工艺，该项目位于USF。研究课题的例子是2D纳米材料领域，它有可能在光电子学，电子学和光电子学，以及用于增材制造的混合复合材料方面发生大规模革命，并有可能制造从纳米到宏观世界的各种结构，形状和尺寸。该项目的预期成果是新一代的材料科学和工程研究人员，他们可以将跨学科的技能和方法结合起来，将过去二十年来在纳米和混合材料开发方面的大量国家投资转化为产品。预计参与者将被激励到研究生院，并将开发共同的技能，以参与工程创新的过程中的方法。除了为参与者计划的研究机会外，还计划开展活动，以促进学生和教师提高沟通和指导技能。这个REU网站提供本科生，与USF FMRI教师和研究生合作，有机会在为期10周的暑期课程中进行研究，对最先进的技术和先进的功能材料研究项目。除了他们的研究，学生将参加研究研讨会，研究会议和专业发展研讨会。研讨会将包括提高书面和口头沟通技能、技术演示、研究生教育、职业道路以及科学和工程道德等主题。为期10周的计划将与正在进行的NSF教师研究经验（RET）网站和高中生研究经验（REHSS）共同定位，这将利用计划之间的协同作用。在这些合作中取得的发现将通过出版物和演示文稿传达给更广泛的科学界。
