The Allen E. Paulson College of Engineering and Computing (CEC) at Georgia Southern University will host a three year 10 week summer-term, interdisciplinary REU Site. The project team will recruit ten students per year from freshman to seniors from HBCUs and minority-serving institutions (MSI), 2-year and community colleges, and 4-year colleges where research opportunities are limited. The program addresses pressing societal problems and 21st Century Grand Challenges and will promote the progress of science and advancing the national prosperity, while strengthening the national defense. The high-quality research environment and exposure to hands-on learning, STEM problem-solving, and mentoring, will prepare students to apply interdisciplinary concepts in solving complex challenges. The projects proposed for this REU will challenge students, advance knowledge and produce valuable scholarship. In addition to their research projects, all REU participants will be mentored to develop their scientific knowledge and skills; research methods, including workplace ethics; and technical writing and oral communication. They will participate in industrial visits and cultural activities. The REU site will prepare a new generation of scientific leaders from diverse populations by establishing novel collaborations between Georgia Southern, HBCUs, minority-serving institutions and community colleges; promote exciting undergraduate research that will advance the fundamental body of knowledge in “Propulsion, Aerodynamics, Materials and Controls of Aerial Vehicles” and respond to 21st-Century Challenges while the research results will be disseminated in peer-reviewed journals. Answering the need for full participation of women, persons with disabilities, and minorities in STEM, the REU Site will develop, implement, and coordinate a series of field experiences for underrepresented high school students. The outreach focus will be the high-need rural counties that are home to high populations of underrepresented minorities, very disadvantaged economically and special needs students.This three-year new REU site will host ten students per year. Students will work on a variety of research projects across the research laboratories (Aerospace, Aerodynamics, Subsonic tunnel and Wind Energy, Advanced Sensing, Intelligent Control, Fundamental Combustion, Ballistic Impacts) in the CEC at Georgia Southern University. The state of the art multidisciplinary research program will advance fundamental knowledge on rotorcraft aerodynamics performance and stability by bringing new knowledge through an original computational approach employing synthetic jets for flow control in rotorcraft applications. The wing’s aerodynamics research will advance knowledge on flow transitions from laminar to turbulent regimes for increased safety and efficiency of civilian and military aircraft. The combustion team will identify the timing of appearance of cool flames, Negative Temperature Coefficient Region behavior, and the transition to High Temperature Heat Release for synthetic kerosene used in jet engines. It will make advances into the elucidation of the mechanisms of thermo-acoustic instabilities of synthetic jet fuels combustion that can inform a significant reduction in NVH and pollution. Research on UAV will use face gestures and electroencephalography signals in a three-dimensional physical space with new feature extraction techniques that include cross-correlation and the logistic regression method for UAV telematics control, while, the waves’ propagation at high speed impact in anisotropic aerospace materials will bring a contribution to capturing the damage and failure modes during aircraft ballistic impact events. The multiple research thrusts respond to both civilian and defense research questions.This site is supported by the Department of Defense in partnership with the NSF REU program.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.

艾伦E.格鲁吉亚南方大学保尔森工程与计算学院（CEC）将举办为期三年的为期10周的夏季学期，跨学科的REU网站。该项目团队每年将从HBCU和少数民族服务机构（MSI），2年制和社区学院以及研究机会有限的4年制学院招募10名新生到高年级学生。该计划解决了紧迫的社会问题和21世纪世纪的重大挑战，将促进科学进步，促进国家繁荣，同时加强国防。高质量的研究环境和接触动手学习，STEM解决问题和指导，将使学生准备应用跨学科的概念来解决复杂的挑战。为这个REU提出的项目将挑战学生，推进知识和产生有价值的奖学金。除了他们的研究项目，所有REU参与者将得到指导，以发展他们的科学知识和技能;研究方法，包括工作场所道德;和技术写作和口头交流。他们将参加工业参观和文化活动。REU网站将通过在格鲁吉亚南部、HBCU、少数民族服务机构和社区学院之间建立新的合作，培养来自不同人群的新一代科学领导人;促进令人兴奋的本科生研究，将推进知识的基础机构“推进，空气动力学，材料和航空器的控制”，并应对21世纪的挑战，而研究成果将在同行评审的期刊上传播。考虑到妇女、残疾人和少数民族充分参与STEM的必要性，REU网站将为代表性不足的高中生开发、实施和协调一系列实地经验。外展重点将是高需求的农村县，这些县是少数民族人口众多、经济上非常弱势和有特殊需要的学生的家园。这个为期三年的新REU网站每年将接待10名学生。 学生将在格鲁吉亚南方大学CEC的研究实验室（航空航天，空气动力学，亚音速隧道和风能，高级传感，智能控制，基本燃烧，弹道影响）进行各种研究项目。 最先进的多学科研究计划将通过采用合成射流进行旋翼机应用中的流量控制的原始计算方法带来新知识，从而推进旋翼机空气动力学性能和稳定性的基础知识。机翼的空气动力学研究将推进从层流到湍流状态的流动过渡的知识，以提高民用和军用飞机的安全性和效率。燃烧小组将确定冷火焰出现的时间、负温度系数区域行为以及喷气发动机中使用的合成煤油向高温热释放的过渡。这将有助于阐明合成喷气燃料燃烧的热声不稳定性机制，从而显著降低NVH和污染。无人机的研究将在三维物理空间中使用人脸姿态和脑电信号，并采用新的特征提取技术，包括互相关和逻辑回归方法用于无人机远程信息处理控制，而各向异性航空航天材料中高速冲击波的传播将有助于捕捉飞机弹道冲击事件期间的损伤和故障模式。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
