Non-technical summaryDartmouth College will host a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site that prepares and mentors undergraduates who might not have otherwise considered Materials Science and Engineering as a career option. Ten undergraduates spend nine weeks at Dartmouth during the summer during which they receive substantive, hands-on research experience. Student participants share in the creation of new materials that will eventually find their way into improved products and services that benefit broader society. In conjunction, they learn to communicate this information effectively to both a range of scientists and non-scientists. Half of the student positions are reserved for under-represented minorities, there is a 50:50 gender balance, and half the students are recruited students from non-research-intensive universities and colleges in order to broaden participation in the field. Under the guidance of Faculty mentors, the students gain both practical Materials Science research experience in the laboratory, and also learn about the breadth and value of materials science in the classroom from experts in the field. They also engage in professional development activities that include the development of research data for publication, public presentation of research results, professional networking, Graduate Record Examination coaching and preparation, and training in the Responsible Conduct of Research. Technical summaryThe REU site prepares and mentors undergraduates who might not have otherwise considered Materials Science and Engineering as a career option. Ten undergraduates spend nine weeks at Dartmouth during the summer during which they receive substantive, hands-on research experience on a variety of topics including Multifunctional Electronic Textiles for Health and Protection, Understanding the Origin of Two-Level Systems in Al2O3, Engineering the Interface of Sodium Ceramic Electrolytes for Sodium Metal, Advanced Medium Entropy Alloy Soft Magnets, Fabrication of conductive 3D-printed carbon materials, Fabrication and Property Tuning of Polymer-Derived Ceramics, Measurements of Nonlinear Dielectric Behavior in MnZn, Ice Growth on Surfaces with Variable Material Properties, Controlling the photophysical properties of liquid crystals using switchable, Band Engineering of 2D-Conducting Oxide Semiconductors for Flexible Electronics, and High-efficiency, high-temperature solar selective absorber coatings. The student participants share in the creation of new materials that will eventually find their way into improved products and services that benefit broader society. In conjunction, they learn to communicate this information effectively to both a range of scientists and non-scientists. Half of the student slots are reserved for under-represented minorities, there is a 50:50 gender balance, and half the students are recruited students from non-research-intensive universities and colleges in order to broaden participation in the field.

They also engage in professional development activities that include the development of research data for publication, public presentation of research results, professional networking, Graduate Record Examination coaching and preparation, and training in the Responsible Conduct of Research.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.

非技术摘要摘要学院将为本科生（REU）网站提供研究经验，该网站为本科生准备和导师的本科生准备，这些本科生可能没有其他方式将材料科学和工程作为职业选择。在夏季，十名本科生在达特茅斯（Dartmouth）呆了九个星期，他们获得了实质性的动手研究经验。学生参与者分享创建新材料的人，这些新材料最终将进入改进的产品和服务，从而使更广泛的社会受益。结合起来，他们学会了将这些信息有效地传达给一系列科学家和非科学家。一半的学生职位保留给代表性不足的少数民族，有50:50的性别余额，一半的学生是从非研究涉及的大学和大学中招募的学生，以扩大该领域的参与。在教师导师的指导下，学生既获得实验室的实用材料科学研究经验，也从该领域的专家那里了解了课堂上材料科学的广度和价值。他们还从事专业发展活动，包括开发用于发布的研究数据，研究结果的公开介绍，专业网络，研究生记录考试教练和准备以及负责任的研究进行培训。技术摘要REU网站为可能没有将材料科学和工程作为职业选择的本科生做好了准备。十名本科生在夏季在达特茅斯（Dartmouth）呆了九个星期，在此期间，他们将获得有关各种主题的实质性动手研究经验，包括用于健康和保护的多功能电子纺织品，了解AL2O3中的两级系统的起源，工程陶瓷陶瓷电解质的界面，用于用于钠的含量聚合物衍生的陶瓷，MNZN非线性介电行为的测量，具有可变材料特性的表面上的冰上生长，使用可切换的液晶的光物理性能，2D氧化物氧化物半导体的液晶的光体物理性能，用于柔性电子和高效率的柔性电气和高素质的Solar Solar selective selective selective seporive serorbersorbersorive soporber coragiants。学生参与者分享创建新材料的人，这些材料最终将进入改进的产品和服务，从而使更广泛的社会受益。结合起来，他们学会了将这些信息有效地传达给一系列科学家和非科学家。一半的学生老虎机保留给代表性不足的少数群体，有50:50的性别平衡，一半的学生是来自非研究涉及的大学和学院的学生，以扩大该领域的参与。在教师导师的指导下，学生既获得实验室的实用材料科学研究经验，也从该领域的专家那里了解了课堂上材料科学的广度和价值。他们还从事专业发展活动，包括开发用于发表的研究数据，公开介绍研究结果，专业网络，研究生记录检查教练和准备工作以及负责任的研究进行培训。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子和更广泛影响的评估来通过评估来获得支持的。
