Wind energy, an affordable renewable energy source, has great potential to meet the growing energy demand, mitigate climate change causes and contribute to a cleaner, sustainable, domestic energy generation portfolio. Despite the demand for wind energy research and development nationally and globally, many undergraduate students of non-R1 universities have limited opportunities to participate in active wind energy research. To tap the nation's diverse student talent pool and broaden participation in science and engineering, there is a critical need to provide these students access to wind energy research early in their career and motivate them to pursue graduate education or research-oriented jobs in the wind energy sector. The Great Lakes (GL) Wind REU site aims to provide a diverse group of undergraduate students with an authentic, engaging learning and research training experience and professional growth opportunities in the broad areas of wind energy.The Great Lakes Wind REU site will support ten undergraduate students for ten-week summer research co-hosted by the Cleveland State University, a public urban university, and Case Western Reserve University, an R1 private university. It will leverage Icebreaker Wind, the first freshwater offshore wind farm in Cleveland, Ohio in Lake Erie and the Great Lakes region as the testbed. REU students will be exposed to a summer research experience that consists of (i) participation in ongoing wind energy research in inclusive learning and research communities, (ii) weekly seminars of research frontier and professional development, (iii) field visit of a utility-scale wind turbine site at the Great Lakes Energy Institute, and (iv) research communication/dissemination in workshops and conferences. The GL Wind REU project particularly emphasizes recruiting women, underrepresented minorities, and students from community colleges and universities without research programs in engineering.This project is jointly funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), Division of Engineering Education and Centers (EEC) and the Department of Energy (DOE), National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL).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.

风能是一种负担得起的可再生能源，具有满足不断增长的能源需求，减轻气候变化的巨大潜力，并有助于更清洁，可持续，国内能源产生的投资组合。尽管在全国和全球范围内对风能研究和发展的需求，但许多非R1大学的本科生的参加活动的机会有限。为了利用美国多元化的学生人才库并扩大了对科学和工程学的参与，至关重要的需要，使这些学生在职业生涯的早期才能获得风能研究，并激励他们从事风能领域的研究生教育或面向研究的工作。大湖（GL）Wind REU网站旨在为一群多样化的本科生提供真正的，引人入胜的学习和研究培训经验以及在风能广泛领域的专业成长机会。它将利用破冰船的风，这是俄亥俄州克利夫兰的第一个淡水海上风电场，伊利湖和大湖地区作为测试床。 REU学生将接触到夏季研究经验，该经验包括（i）参与包容性学习和研究社区的持续风能研究，（ii）研究边界和专业发展的每周一次研讨会，（iii）大湖能源研究所的公用事业风力涡轮机站点的实地访问，以及（IV）研究/（IV）研究/（IV）在工作中的工作/散布。 GL WIND REU项目特别强调招募妇女，代表性的少数群体以及没有工程研究计划的社区学院和大学的学生。该项目由国家科学基金会（NSF）共同资助，工程教育和中心（EEC）（EEC）（EEC）和能源部（DOE），由国家能源技术实验室（NETL）授予NESF的EEC（EEC）。基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响审查标准。
