NON-TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION: This Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site is focused on training the next generation of scientists and engineers with expertise at the intersection of materials science and data analytics. With the goal of providing cutting-edge research to students with limited research opportunities at their home institutions, students are actively recruited from community colleges and primarily undergraduate institutions. Training is occurring through formal instruction, hands-on research, site visits to data-intensive local laboratories and businesses, and preparing and delivering public presentations of research results. The research projects focus on developing transformative structural and electronic materials that enable new technologies and applications. TECHNICAL DETAILS: The REU site addresses the NSF Big Idea concerning “Harnessing the Data Revolution” within the context of structural and electronic materials. Students are gaining experience in the generation, curation, and analysis of very large materials science data-sets. Across the structural and electronic materials space research projects are quite diverse, ranging from weldability of high entropy alloys to data-driven additive manufacturing to piezoelectric and thermoelectric material discovery. The research projects are inherently interdisciplinary, involving pairs of faculty members from different departments and their affiliated graduate students. Many of these projects involve strong collaborations with national laboratory and associated user facilities or industry partners. Beyond technical skills development, significant effort is devoted to enhancing students’ professional skills and self-identity as a scientist. Together, these training objectives culminate in the final week with preparing a poster and associated presentation for a national conference.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.

非技术描述：这个面向本科生的研究体验(REU)网站专注于培养在材料科学和数据分析交叉领域具有专业知识的下一代科学家和工程师。为了向在本国机构有有限研究机会的学生提供尖端研究，积极从社区学院和主要是本科院校招收学生。培训通过以下方式进行：正式指导、实际操作研究、实地访问数据密集型地方实验室和企业，以及准备和提供研究成果的公开介绍。研究项目的重点是开发具有变革性的结构和电子材料，使新技术和新应用成为可能。技术细节：REU网站介绍了NSF关于在结构和电子材料的背景下“利用数据革命”的大想法。学生们正在积累生成、管理和分析超大型材料科学数据集的经验。在结构和电子材料领域，空间研究项目相当多样化，从高熵合金的可焊性到数据驱动的添加剂制造，再到压电和热电材料的发现。这些研究项目本质上是跨学科的，涉及来自不同系的教师对及其附属研究生。其中许多项目涉及与国家实验室和相关用户设施或行业合作伙伴的密切合作。除了技术技能发展，还致力于提高学生的专业技能和作为科学家的自我认同感。总之，这些培训目标在最后一周达到顶峰，为一次全国会议准备了一张海报和相关的演示文稿。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
