REU Site: Advanced Manufacture of Novel Materials and Bio-Nano Applications

密尔沃基工程学院(MSOE)的这一为期三年的夏季REU续签网站将吸引广泛的学生，在有强大指导的环境中开展先进制造新材料和生物纳米应用的研究。MSOE 3D打印补充了中西部工程系统的金属激光沉积以及与西北大学神经成像的合作，为学生提供了洞察客户发现和探索的机会，最终形成了独特的解决方案。所有项目都侧重于通过人类健康和高效、可持续的系统提高生活水平，从而影响社会。REU团队希望不同的群体--主要来自本科生机构--能够在全国本科生研究会议上见面并发表演讲。该网站为所有参与者提供了关于最先进的3DP研究的独特视角。该网站的新特点包括目前的参与者由以前的REU博士项目和其他项目的参与者指导，并通过MSOE STEM中心提供参与K-12扩展活动的机会。每年八名本科生组成的技术多样化小组将在密尔沃基工程学院快速成型中心、其生物打印实验室及其与行业和其他机构的协作协同中心参与涉及添加剂制造研究的跨学科项目的变革性问题解决方案。这些项目为异花授粉、客户发现和创造力做好了独特的准备。随着3DP技术的前所未有的进步影响着我们的日常生活，以及它的精确度、缩短开发和交付时间以及可靠性等特点，由于材料的进步，它变得性价比高。学生们将从一个久负盛名、运行良好的项目中获得丰富的职业经历，最终将在全国会议上发表演讲，并有攻读研究生学位的强烈愿望。MSOE-REU一直是几个第一代和代表性不足的学生的研究孵化器，特别是来自主要本科院校(PUI)的学生。这个更新网站将建立在以往成功的基础上，激励参与者在科学和工程领域继续接受教育和职业生涯。该项目不仅具有参与者的地理多样性和技术多样性，而且还在学术界和产业界的大力合作下，在3DP的许多应用中嵌入了变革性的研究潜力。所有项目都在提高生活水平、改善人类健康和高效、可持续的系统方面对社会产生影响。该网站的新特点包括目前的参与者由以前的REU博士项目和其他项目的参与者指导，并通过MSOE STEM中心提供参与K-12外展活动的机会。该奖项反映了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。

This three-year summer REU renewal Site at Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE) will involve a broad mix of students to conduct research in advanced manufacture of novel materials and bio-nano applications in a strongly mentored environment. MSOE 3D Printing complements metal laser-wire deposition at Midwest Engineered Systems and collaboration with Northwest University’s Neuroimaging, provides opportunities for students to gain insight into customer discovery and exploration that culminate in unique solutions. All projects focus on impacting society by improving life standards through human health and efficient, sustainable systems. The REU team hopes that the diverse cohort - from primarily undergraduate institutions - will get to meet and present at a national conferences on undergraduate research. The Site provides a unique perspective on state-of-the-art 3DP research to all participants. New features of this site include the current participants being mentored by prior REU participants in Ph.D. programs and beyond, and being provided with opportunities to engage in K-12 outreach activities through the MSOE STEM Center.A technically diverse group of eight undergraduate students per year will participate in transformative problem solving of interdisciplinary projects involving additive manufacturing research at Milwaukee School of Engineering Rapid Prototyping Center, its Bioprinting lab and its synergistic centers of collaboration with industry and other institutions. The projects are uniquely poised for cross-pollination and customer discovery and creativity. With the unprecedented technological advances in 3DP affecting our daily lives, along with its features such as accuracy, reduction in development and delivery time, and reliability, it is becoming cost-effective because of the advancement of materials. Students will receive a career-enriching experience from a well-established and well-run program culminating in a national conference presentation and a strong desire to pursue a graduate degree. MSOE-REU has served as a research incubator for several first-generation and underrepresented students, especially from primarily undergraduate institutions (PUIs). This renewal site will build on previous success motivating participants to pursue continued education and careers in science and engineering. Not only does this project feature geographical diversity and technical diversity of the participants, but it has also embedded transformative research potential in many applications of 3DP with strong collaboration from both academia and industry. All projects impact society in improving life standards − human health and efficient, sustainable systems. New features of this site include the current participants being mentored by prior REU participants in Ph.D. programs and beyond, and being provided with opportunities to engage in K-12 outreach activities through the MSOE STEM Center.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.
