The Research Experience for Undergraduates Site Program, Integration of Biology and Materials in Chemical Engineering, at Penn State University aims to engage undergraduate students in a stimulating summer research experience with a dual focus on life sciences and materials. Research integrating biology and materials will contribute to advancements in the fields of medicine, environmental remediation, energy, and homeland security. Research interfacing materials and the life sciences will enable the development of specialized materials and processes aimed to meet critical national needs such as clean water, energy, and healthcare. The research, educational, and career mentorship provided by the program is intended to inspire the students to pursue careers in academic research or industrial innovation. Social activities as well as the use of pairing of students to work on joint projects will promote collaboration and teamwork amongst the students. Recruitment to the program will target students from institutions where research opportunities are limited and will focus on creating diverse communities during each REU session. This REU site is hosted by the Chemical Engineering Department at Penn State University. Undergraduate students selected from institutions across the nation will conduct ten weeks of academic research bridging materials and the life sciences. Undergraduate students will work collaboratively with another undergraduate student and with a graduate student mentor on a project sponsored by two faculty mentors. Technical activities will increase student awareness of careers and graduate school and will enhance students' analytical, collaboration, and communication skills. Mentorship training will increase the leadership skills of graduate students. Thus, the program will train the next generation of scientists and engineers to contribute to the nation's scientific output and to advancements in healthcare, energy, environmental remediation and security.

宾夕法尼亚州立大学的本科生研究经验网站计划，生物学和材料在化学工程中的整合，旨在让本科生参与刺激的夏季研究经验，同时关注生命科学和材料。整合生物学和材料的研究将有助于医学，环境修复，能源和国土安全领域的进步。研究接口材料和生命科学将使专门的材料和工艺的发展，旨在满足关键的国家需求，如清洁水，能源和医疗保健。该计划提供的研究，教育和职业指导旨在激励学生从事学术研究或工业创新。社会活动以及利用学生配对工作的联合项目将促进学生之间的合作和团队精神。该项目的招聘目标是来自研究机会有限的机构的学生，并将重点关注在每次REU课程期间创建多元化的社区。这个REU网站由宾夕法尼亚州立大学的化学工程系主办。从全国各地的机构选择的本科生将进行为期十周的学术研究桥接材料和生命科学。 本科生将与另一名本科生和一名研究生导师合作，共同完成一个由两名教师导师赞助的项目。技术活动将提高学生对职业和研究生院的认识，并提高学生的分析，协作和沟通技能。导师培训将提高研究生的领导技能。 因此，该计划将培养下一代科学家和工程师，为国家的科学产出和医疗保健，能源，环境修复和安全方面的进步做出贡献。
