REU Site: Interdisciplinary Water Science and Engineering

弗吉尼亚理工学院的本科生研究体验(REU)站点计划--跨学科水科学与工程--的三年续订，为不同类别的学生提供跨学科的研究体验，帮助他们在跨学科环境中实现水资源的可持续管理。这一更新计划的新特点包括在印度的国际组成部分，以及一些REU学者与VT RET现场参与者的合作。该网站将扩大未来水科学研究人员的队伍，他们将解决美国国家工程院(NAE)的重大挑战之一(即提供清洁水的途径)。弗吉尼亚大学将招待10名REU学者参加为期10周的暑期项目，为他们提供高质量的学习环境：1)激发他们对跨学科水研究的科学好奇心，并激励他们攻读水科学和工程方面的高级学位；2)培训他们通过研究论文、研讨会和演讲交流科学信息；以及3)促进他们的社交、智力和职业成长。来自不同学科的12名教师导师将指导REU学者的研究。

This three year renewal of a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site Program, Interdisciplinary Water Science and Engineering, at Virginia Tech, offers an interdisciplinary research experience to a diverse cohort of students on projects leading to sustainable management of water resources in an interdisciplinary environment. New features of this renewal program include an international component in India and collaboration of some of the REU scholars with VT RET Site participants. The Site will expand the pool of future researchers in water science who will address one of the National Academy of Engineering (NAE) Grand Challenges, (i.e. provide access to clean water). VT will host 10 REU scholars over a 10-week summer program where they will be provided with a high-quality learning environment that: 1) stimulates their scientific curiosity in interdisciplinary water research and motivates them to pursue advanced degrees in water sciences and engineering; 2) trains them to communicate scientific information through research papers, seminars, and presentations; and 3) facilitates their social, intellectual, and professional growth. Twelve faculty mentors from diverse academic disciplines will direct REU scholars research.
