项目摘要

Non-Technical Description: The importance of affordable and high-efficiency technologies for renewable energy has been well established. There is also a need for scientifically and technologically competent students with sufficient experience in research methods, ethics, and team work to succeed in advanced technology careers. With an interdisciplinary team of scientists and engineers, new buildings and labs, and extensive materials characterization tools, this second phase of the NSF Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program in Renewable Energy Generation and Storage will address important scientific, technological, and training needs in the energy sector. This REU program will bring nine STEM undergraduate students (sophomore and junior level) together each year for a 10 week summer experience in a stimulating and supportive research environment. The program will build on past success in which 64% of the REU participants came from community colleges and small 4-year schools that do not have the capacity to offer this kind of research experience for students. Our successful professional development and presentation skills workshops will be continued and expanded to include post-program mentoring through an individualized development program (IDP) that is personalized for each student. Technical Description: The students participating in this program will be able to select from 14 research active faculty representing interdisciplinary areas in smart energy ranging from chemistry and physics, to materials science, mechanical engineering and electrical engineering. The supportive and challenging research environment created for each participant will focus on a solution to current global energy challenges including energy generation, energy storage, and energy efficient electronic systems that is an active area of modern materials and engineering research. Students will benefit from carefully planned experimental problems designed to yield significant results in the 10 week period, while providing the opportunity to contribute as a member of a larger interdisciplinary research team to advance scientific knowledge. Mentored by research teams in the Department of Energy sponsored NorthEast Center for Chemical Energy Storage (NECCES) and the Center for Autonomous Solar Power (CASP) at Binghamton University, the students will also have the opportunity to interact with industrial partners such as Corning Glass and Lockheed-Martin, and invited government lab speakers to learn about different career paths.

非技术描述：对可再生能源来说，负担得起的高效技术的重要性已经得到了充分的确认。还需要有科学和技术能力的学生，他们在研究方法、道德和团队合作方面有足够的经验，以便在先进的技术事业中取得成功。由科学家和工程师组成的跨学科团队，新建筑和实验室，以及广泛的材料表征工具，NSF本科生研究经验（REU）可再生能源发电和存储计划的第二阶段将解决能源领域重要的科学，技术和培训需求。这个REU项目每年将把9名STEM本科生（大二和大三）聚集在一起，在一个刺激和支持的研究环境中进行为期10周的暑期体验。该项目将以过去的成功为基础，即64%的REU参与者来自社区学院和小型四年制学校，这些学校没有能力为学生提供这种研究经验。我们成功的专业发展和演讲技巧研讨会将继续并扩大到通过个性化发展计划（IDP）为每个学生提供个性化的项目后指导。技术描述：参与该项目的学生将能够从14个活跃的研究教师中进行选择，这些教师代表了智能能源的跨学科领域，包括化学和物理，材料科学，机械工程和电气工程。为每位参与者创造的支持性和挑战性的研究环境将重点关注当前全球能源挑战的解决方案，包括能源生产，能源存储和节能电子系统，这是现代材料和工程研究的活跃领域。学生将受益于精心策划的实验问题，这些实验问题旨在在10周的时间内产生显著的结果，同时提供作为更大的跨学科研究团队成员贡献科学知识的机会。在美国能源部资助的东北化学储能中心（NECCES）和宾厄姆顿大学自主太阳能中心（CASP）的研究团队的指导下，学生们还将有机会与康宁玻璃和洛克希德-马丁公司等工业合作伙伴进行互动，并邀请政府实验室发言人了解不同的职业道路。
