This Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Program at the University of Louisville trains a diverse cohort of interdisciplinary STEM students in the field of Advanced Manufacturing, with a special emphasis on micro/nano-manufacturing and additive manufacturing (i.e. 3D printing). As described in the recent 2018 Strategy for American Leadership in Advanced Manufacturing Report to the President of the United States, “America’s global economic dominance in the 20th century was primarily due to our nation’s creative advances in manufacturing techniques and strategies. However, this century has seen dramatic changes with significant declines in U.S. manufacturing productivity starting in the 1990s and accelerating losses during the 2008 recession”. The report further emphasizes the need to reverse that trend by encouraging programs that educate and train our next generation of workers about new manufacturing technologies and strategies. This REU program does exactly that through structured hands-on micro/nano/additive training classes, personalized independent research projects, professional faculty mentorship, student professional development, and exposure to a wide variety of applications in the fields of health, medicine, defense, security, energy, wearables, and manufacturing. The two most disruptive technologies in the field of Advanced Manufacturing are micro/nano-manufacturing and additive manufacturing (i.e. 3D printing). Furthermore, with recent material and resolution advances in 3D printing, we are experiencing the convergence of the two technologies, which promises to open up a completely new set of applications and range of products never before thought possible. The IMPACT-NG REU program at the University of Louisville sits squarely in that interesting space. It addresses the national need to train the next generation of students about these converging technologies by formally educating them through intense hands-on laboratory experiences, followed by nine supervised weeks of personalized independent research involving an interesting interdisciplinary set of Advanced Manufacturing projects in the fields of health, medicine, defense, security, energy, wearables, and manufacturing. Projects range from diagnostic lab-on-a chip devices for the human health to advanced autonomous micro-robots for the environment to next-generation wearables for the Internet of Things. Finally, our program supplements their technical experiences with programs to improve their oral/written communication skills, opportunities to learn about graduate school, seminars about entrepreneurship, lunch meetings with technical and government leaders, tours of industry manufacturing facilities, ethics training, and a wide variety of organized social activities.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.

路易斯维尔大学的本科生（REU）计划的研究经验训练了高级制造领域的多样性跨学科STEM学生，并特别强调了微型/纳米制造和增材制造业和增材制造业（即3D打印）。正如最近2018年美国高级制造业领导力策略向美国总统所描述的那样，“美国在20世纪的全球经济优势主要是由于我们国家在制造技术和策略方面在制造技术和策略方面的创造性进步。但​​是，本世纪在1990年代开始在美国的生产力下的大幅下降，从1990年代开始，并在2008年恢复了衰退。该报告进一步强调了需要通过鼓励教育和培训下一代工人有关新制造业的计划来扭转这一趋势的必要性。技术和策略。该REU计划通过结构化的动手微/纳米/添加剂培训课程，个性化的独立研究项目，专业的教师心态，学生专业发展以及在健康，医学，国防，安全，能源，能源，可穿戴设备和制造业领域的各种应用中实现。高级制造领域中两种最具破坏性的技术是微型/纳米制造和添加剂制造（即3D打印）。此外，随着3D打印的最新材料和解决方案的进步，我们正在体验两种技术的融合，这有望开放一套全新的应用程序和以前从未想到的产品范围。路易斯维尔大学的Impact-NG REU计划位于这个有趣的空间中。它通过激烈的动手实验室经验正式对他们进行正式教育，随后进行了9次受到监督的个性化独立研究，涉及一个有趣的跨学科的高级制造项目，该领域是健康，医学，国防，安全，能源，耐磨机构和制造业。项目范围从诊断性实验室芯片设备到人类健康的芯片设备到环境的高级自动微型机器人到物联网的下一代可穿戴设备。最后，我们的计划为他们提供的技术经验提供了他们的技术经验，以提高口头/书面沟通技巧，了解研究生院的机会，有关企业家精神的半手赛，与技术和政府领导者的午餐会议，行业制造设施的旅行，道德培训以及各种有组织的社会活动。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定任务和审查的范围，这表明了众多的范围。
