REU Site in Advanced Manufacturing and Supply Chain

这个新的为期三年的REU项目名为路易斯维尔大学先进制造和供应链(AMSC)的REU站点，每年将为8名本科生提供为期10周的暑期体验培训。该网站以涵盖广泛主题的研究项目为特色，所有这些项目都集中在当前和未来制造业和供应链中的紧迫问题上。AMSC研究是一个在工程、商业和科学的交叉点上不断发展的跨学科领域。今天的制造业和供应链依赖于先进的技术，需要包括模拟、自动化和计算在内的密集技能。这些技术为学生提供了一个学习和分析AMSC系统的平台，进而研究科学、工程和技术方面的新研究机会，以改进此类系统。其目标是促进基于AMSC领域特定项目活动的研究与本科教育的整合，并向REU学生展示如何将研究成果转化为现实环境。路易斯维尔大学这个名为REU Site in Advanced Manufacturing and Supply Chain(AMSC)的新三年REU项目将提供为期10周的暑期体验培训。AMSC REU网站每年将接待8000名学生，他们将从少数族裔服务机构和使用研究设施有限的机构招聘。其目标是促进基于AMSC领域内特定项目活动的研究与本科教育的整合，并向REU学生展示如何将研究成果转化为现实世界。REU的学生将与教师导师在前沿研究项目上密切合作，这些项目是由现实世界的问题引发的。参与者将在该大学最先进的实验室和研究中心工作，还将与博士后、研究生和行业顾问互动。AMSC REU的学生还将参与专业发展机会，如研讨会、培训课程、研究报告和工厂参观。学生将接触到高质量的尖端研究，并将培养更多的职业机会意识，并为在制造和供应链方面的高级研究做好准备。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 new three-year REU project entitled REU Site in Advanced Manufacturing and Supply Chain (AMSC) at the University of Louisville will provide a 10-week summer experiential training for 8 undergraduate students each year. This site features research projects covering a broad spectrum of topics, all of which focus on matters of immediate and pressing issues in current and future manufacturing and supply chain. AMSC research is an evolving interdisciplinary domain at the intersection of engineering, business, and science. Today’s manufacturing and supply chain rely on advanced technology and require intensive skills that include simulation, automation, and computing. These techniques provide a platform for students to study and analyze AMSC systems, and in turn, investigate new research opportunities in science, engineering, and technology to improve such systems. The goal is to foster the integration of research into undergraduate education based on project-specific activities within the AMSC domain and demonstrate to the REU students how research outcomes can be translated to real-world settings.This new three-year REU project entitled REU Site in Advanced Manufacturing and Supply Chain (AMSC) at the University of Louisville will provide a 10-week summer experiential training. The AMSC REU site will host 8 students per year who will be recruited from minority-serving institutions and institutions with limited access to research facilities. The goal is to foster the integration of research into undergraduate education based on project-specific activities within the AMSC domain and demonstrate to the REU students how research outcomes can be translated to real-world settings. REU students will work closely with faculty mentors on cutting-edge research projects that are motivated from real world problems. The participants will work in state-of-the-art labs and research centers at the University and will also interact with post-doctoral students, graduate students, and industry advisors. The AMSC REU students will also participate in professional development opportunities such as workshops, training sessions, research presentations, and plant tours. Students will be exposed to high-quality, cutting-edge research and will develop greater awareness of career opportunities and be prepared for advanced studies in manufacturing and supply chain.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.
