REU Site on Cybermanufacturing

这个REU网站在得克萨斯州A M工程实验站的目的是为本科生在新兴的网络制造领域提供学习经验。该项目将支持来自全国各地的10名本科生参与者，重点是招募女性和代表性不足的少数群体。REU网站将通过为期10周的夏季研究计划，让参与者参与高质量的研究，丰富和发展经验。该项目将提高早期本科生对先进制造业的热情和研究技能，从而为他们进入STEM/知识劳动力和/或攻读研究生院做好专业技能准备。此外，该项目将提供一个有价值的切入点，为学生广泛的机构有限的研究设施和强大的动力，追求研究生院和职业生涯在这个关键和不断增长的行业。REU项目将利用各种网络制造为重点的努力和测试台的得克萨斯州A& M工程实验站的研究所制造系统教师，为学生提供一个网络化制造的广泛视角，特别关注三个关键方面：a）设计和规划，B）现场工艺和过程控制，以及c）企业范围的优化和协调。研究试验台作为先进制造设施的一部分位于同一地点。REU学生将接触到这个智力刺激的研究环境，并获得关键技能，以促进这一新兴的研究领域。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估的支持。

This REU site at Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station aims to provide learning experiences for undergraduate students in the emerging area of Cybermanufacturing. The project will support 10 undergraduate participants from across the nation with an emphasis on recruiting women and underrepresented minority groups. The REU site will engage participants in high quality research, enrichment, and development experiences through a 10-week long summer research program. The project will increase enthusiasm and research skills in advanced manufacturing among early stage undergraduate students thereby preparing them with professional skills to enter the STEM/knowledge workforce and/or to pursue graduate school. Furthermore, this project will provide a valuable entry point for a wide array of students from institutions with limited access to research facilities and a strong impetus to pursue graduate school and careers in this critical and growing industry.The REU projects will leverage the diverse Cybermanufacturing-focused efforts and testbeds of the Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station's Institute for Manufacturing Systems faculty to provide the students with a broad perspective of Cybermanufacturing with specific focus on three critical aspects: a) design and planning, b) in situ prognostics and process control, and c) enterprise-wide optimization and coordination. The research testbeds are co-located as part of the Advanced Manufacturing Facility. REU students will be exposed to this intellectually stimulating research environment and gain critical skills to contribute to this emerging research area.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
