REU Site: Power Optimization of Electro-Thermal Sytems (POETS) REU

这一新的为期三年的本科生研究体验(REU)现场项目位于伊利诺伊大学香槟分校电热系统功率优化(POETS)工程研究中心(ERC)内，将通过增强能力、动手和跨学科的研究经验，提高不同本科生的知识和技能水平，这些本科生在移动动力设备热管理领域的研究机会有限。Poets REU网站位于四所机构-伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟分校、霍华德大学、斯坦福大学和阿肯色大学，将培训和指导一系列不同的本科生，包括来自代表不足的少数群体的学生，采用多学科、系统的方法。该项目采用代际方法，REU学生将由更有经验的研究人员指导，他们将作为高中生的领导者和导师，获得经验，这样他们就更好地将自己视为通往成功研究人员所需专业知识的旅程。在完成暑期体验后，REU学生将与诗人团队努力发展长期的关系，让学生了解出现的机会，从而达到巩固REU学生对研究生研究的兴趣的目标。每年夏天，四位诗人ERC机构将接待10名学生，他们将在那里解决阻碍许多移动系统开发的及时和关键问题--由于功率密度增加而产生的热限制。通过他们的项目，学生将能够很容易地看到不同学科和研究团队之间的联系和互动，因为他们从事自己的研究。此外，REU的学生将接受领导力、安全、道德、团队合作和外展等关键要素方面的培训。他们的书面和口头交流能力将在准备和展示他们的研究成果以及准备REU研究生奖学金申请草稿的过程中得到发展。这个网站的影响将是激励、激励和教育学生，并使他们能够/激励他们追求深造和STEM职业生涯。

This new three-year Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site Program, located within the Engineering Research Center (ERC), Power Optimization of Electro-Thermal Systems (POETS), at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign will enhance the knowledge and skill-level of a diverse cohort of undergraduate students with limited access to research opportunities through empowering, hands-on and interdisciplinary research experiences in the area of thermal management of heat in mobile powered devices. The POETS REU Site located within four institutions-the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Howard University, Stanford University and the University of Arkansas, will train and mentor a diverse set of undergraduate students, including students from underrepresented minority groups with a multidisciplinary, systems approach. The program takes an intergenerational approach where the REU students will be mentored by more experienced researchers and they will serve as leaders and mentors to high school students, gaining experiences so they better see themselves as on a journey toward the expertise they will need as successful researchers. After the completion of the summer experience the REU students will the POETS team will strive to develop a long-term relationship, keeping the students informed about opportunities that arise, thus addressing the goal of solidifying REU student interest in graduate research. Each summer, 10 students will be hosted by the four POETS ERC institutions where they will address the timely and critical problem impeding development of many mobile systems - the thermal constraints that arise from increased power densities. Through their projects the students will be able to readily see the connections and interactions between different disciplines and research teams as they engage in their own research. Additionally, the REU students will be trained in critical elements of leadership, safety, ethics, teamwork, and outreach. Their communication abilities, both written and oral will be developed as they prepare and present their research results as well as prepare a draft of an REU graduate fellowship application. The impact of this Site will be to excite, empower, and educate students, and to enable/inspire them to pursue advanced study and STEM careers.
