REU Site: An Integrated Diversity Undergraduate Research Experience in Functional Nanomaterials

纳米材料和设备物理学的最新进展为本科教育和培训带来了新的前沿。为了应对这些科学挑战，并显著扩大对科学和工程领域代表性不足的少数族裔和女性群体的影响，加州大学洛杉矶分校(UCLA)将与加州大学洛杉矶分校(UCLA)功能加速纳米材料工程中心(FAME)合作，开展REU现场项目-功能纳米材料综合多样性本科生研究体验(FNM)。FAME是业界和学术界长期有效的合作伙伴关系，在非传统材料和下一代设备技术的新相关物理方面拥有世界领先的研究和能力。REU的研究项目将侧重于下一代微米和纳米级电子学和光电子学的世界级非常规材料和器件物理。加州大学洛杉矶分校将接待10名REU学生参加为期10周的暑期项目，他们将参与功能纳米材料的跨学科研究项目。指导和有凝聚力的全群体活动将是这一区域联盟的核心原则。FNM将实施每周的师生更新和讨论、每周的REU全站点专业发展和交叉培训研讨会，以及带有反馈行动项目的外部定期调查，以及为REU学者举办的累积研讨会。

Recent advances in nanomaterials and device physics have brought about new frontiers in undergraduate education and training. To address these scientific challenges and to significantly broaden outreach to underrepresented minority and women's groups in science and engineering, the University of California-Los Angeles (UCLA) will conduct a REU Site program, An Integrated Diversity Undergraduate Research Experience in Functional NanoMaterials (FNM) in partnership with the Center for Function Accelerated nanoMaterial Engineering (FAME) at UCLA. FAME is a long-standing effective industry-academia partnership, with world-leading research and competencies in unconventional materials and new correlated physics for next-generation device technologies. The REU research projects will focus on world-class unconventional materials and device physics for next-generation um and nm-scale electronics and optoelectronics. UCLA will host 10 REU students over a 10-week summer program where they will participate in interdisciplinary research projects on functional nanomaterials. Mentoring and cohesive cohort-wide activities will be central tenets to this REU. FNM will implement weekly faculty-student updates and discussions, weekly REU site-wide professional development and cross-training workshops, in addition to external periodic surveys with feedback action items, and a cumulative symposium for the REU scholars.
