REU Site: Research Experience for Undergraduates in Resilience Against Extreme Weather Events

这是一个新的为期三年的REU网站提案，名为“REU网站：本科生对极端天气事件的弹性研究经验”，由佛罗里达州立大学和佛罗里达&农工大学-佛罗里达州立大学工程学院主办，每年有10名学生将参加为期十周的跨学科项目，调查工程在这种环境中的影响，进行专业发展，并追求在这个跨学科领域的研究生学习和职业生涯的潜在选择。不断升级的极端天气事件，如飓风和严重风暴，对有形基础设施和结构、运输网络，从而对当地社区，特别是社会和经济高度脆弱的社区，构成巨大威胁。每个学生都将在经验丰富的教师顾问的监督下，从事与基础设施抵御极端天气事件的能力有关的各种研究项目。本科生将参与基础设施弹性的研究和培训机会，并考虑在这一领域追求职业和研究生学位。 这是一个新的为期三年的建议，为一个REU网站题为“REU网站：研究经验，本科生在抵御极端天气事件”，由佛罗里达州立大学和佛罗里达A& M大学-佛罗里达州立大学工程学院主办，十个学生（很大一部分将是代表性不足的少数民族和女学生）每年将参加一个十-一周的跨学科计划，调查工程在这种环境中的影响，进行专业发展，并在这个跨学科领域追求研究生学习和职业生涯的潜在选择。不断升级的极端天气事件，如飓风和严重风暴，对有形基础设施和结构、运输网络，从而对当地社区，特别是社会和经济高度脆弱的社区，构成巨大威胁。每个学生都将在经验丰富的教师顾问的监督下，从事与基础设施抵御极端天气事件的能力有关的各种研究项目。研究主题大致分为三个互补的重点领域：1）可持续城市水管理以减轻灾害，2）基础设施的恢复力，3）灾害响应和管理。参与者将参加一系列关于极端天气事件的影响和基础设施复原力的重要性的互动研讨会和研讨会，提高他们的研究和沟通技能，培养他们与不同背景合作和建立学术复原力的技能，并培养他们对研究生教育和STEM高级职业的兴趣，特别是，该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This is a new three-year proposal for an REU Site titled, “REU Site: Research Experience for Undergraduates in Resilience Against Extreme Weather Events”, hosted by Florida State University and the Florida A&M University-Florida State University College of Engineering, Ten students each year will engage in a ten-week interdisciplinary program investigating the impact of engineering in this environment, undergo professional development, and pursue potential options for graduate studies and careers in this interdisciplinary field. Escalating extreme weather events, such as hurricanes and severe storms pose great threat to the physical infrastructure and structures, transportation network, and thereby the local communities, especially those of high social and economic vulnerability. Each student will work under the supervision of experienced faculty advisors on a variety of research projects related to resilience of infrastructure against extreme weather events. Undergraduate students will engage in research and training opportunities in infrastructure resilience and to consider pursuing careers and graduate degrees in this field. This is a new three-year proposal for an REU Site titled, “REU Site: Research Experience for Undergraduates in Resilience Against Extreme Weather Events”, hosted by Florida State University and the Florida A&M University-Florida State University College of Engineering, Ten students (a large proportion will be underrepresented minority and female students) each year will engage in a ten-week interdisciplinary program investigating the impact of engineering in this environment, undergo professional development, and pursue potential options for graduate studies and careers in this interdisciplinary field. Escalating extreme weather events, such as hurricanes and severe storms pose great threat to the physical infrastructure and structures, transportation network, and thereby the local communities, especially those of high social and economic vulnerability. Each student will work under the supervision of experienced faculty advisors on a variety of research projects related to resilience of infrastructure against extreme weather events. The research topics are broadly categorized into three complementing focus areas 1) sustainable urban water management for hazard mitigation, 2) resilience of infrastructure, and 3) disaster response and management. Participants will engage in a series of interactive workshops and seminars about the impact of extreme weather events and importance of infrastructural resilience, polish their research and communication skills, develop their skills in working with diverse backgrounds and building academic resilience, and cultivate their interest in graduate education and advanced career in STEM, particularly, in infrastructural resilience area.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.
