This award is funded in whole or in part under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (Public Law 117-2).NON-TECHNICAL SUMMARYThe National Science Foundation Back to the Future Research Experience for Undergraduates Site at the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology will expose a diverse group of undergraduate students, including Native American students and women, to the research environment and help them develop as professionals. The focus of the student research is the study of metals and metal production, an area of vital technological importance to national interest in areas of defense, manufacturing, resource utilization, and energy. Students will also participate in research projects with the National Park Service focused on the preservation and analysis of historical artifacts as well as supplemental activities like metal forging and casting that highlight the importance of metals throughout history, hence, the Back to the Future theme. This context will give students a broader appreciation for the nature of current and future research as well as the impact of engineering in society. TECHNICAL SUMMARYThe REU Site: Back to the Future at the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology is a 10-week summer program that will provide research opportunities in metallurgical and materials engineering that enhance the global competitiveness of the nation in the areas of mineral beneficiation, resource recovery, strategic metals, advanced materials, manufacturing, and energy-efficient materials. The project will address challenges faced by future engineers by providing a research experience within a unique cultural and holistic framework. This framework will be provided by teaming with the National Parks Service on research that has historical significance and innovative activities led by faculty from engineering, science, and the humanities that explore the interface between engineering, history, and art (the Back to the Future theme). Students will participate in an integrated supplemental training program that nurtures their research skills and career development. This program includes advanced technical communications training, workshops and seminars to give historical context for current trends in research, and activities that connect students to each other and the community. The diverse nature of program activities will attract students of varied background and intellectual typology. The Site will provide opportunities for underserved students in engineering with an emphasis on two-year community and Tribal Colleges from the region.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.

该奖项全部或部分由2021年美国救援计划法案资助（公法117-2）。非技术性总结国家科学基金会回到未来的研究经验，为本科生网站在南达科他州矿业和技术学院将暴露一个多样化的本科生群体，包括美洲原住民学生和妇女，研究环境，并帮助他们发展成为专业人士。 学生研究的重点是金属和金属生产的研究，这是一个对国防，制造，资源利用和能源领域的国家利益至关重要的技术领域。 学生还将参加国家公园服务的研究项目，重点是历史文物的保存和分析，以及金属锻造和铸造等补充活动，突出金属在整个历史中的重要性，因此，回到未来的主题。 这一背景将使学生对当前和未来研究的性质以及工程对社会的影响有更广泛的了解。 技术总结REU网站：回到未来在矿业与技术的南达科他州学校是一个为期10周的暑期课程，将提供冶金和材料工程，提高国家在矿物提纯，资源回收，战略金属，先进材料，制造和节能材料领域的全球竞争力的研究机会。 该项目将通过在独特的文化和整体框架内提供研究体验来解决未来工程师面临的挑战。 该框架将通过与国家公园管理局合作进行研究来提供，这些研究具有历史意义，并由工程，科学和人文学科的教师领导创新活动，探索工程，历史和艺术之间的界面（回到未来主题）。 学生将参加一个综合的补充培训计划，培养他们的研究技能和职业发展。 该计划包括先进的技术通信培训，研讨会和研讨会，为当前的研究趋势提供历史背景，并将学生与彼此和社区联系起来。课程活动的多样性将吸引不同背景和知识类型的学生。 该网站将提供机会，为缺乏服务的学生在工程，重点是两年制社区和部落学院从该地区。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得通过评估使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准的支持。
