The three-year renewal REU Site: Transformational Technologies for Next Generation Aerospace Systems is hosted by Florida State University in collaboration with Florida A&M University. This REU site engages 10 students each year in research on advanced aerospace systems, including the theoretical formulation, computational simulation, and experimental validation of design and development. The multidisciplinary nature of these projects will engage students in cross-cutting technologies through their specific research and group activities. Participants will engage with a series of hands-on learning modules on advanced fluid flow diagnostics and wind tunnel testing techniques. The student cohort will be recruited, especially under-represented minorities in engineering, to participate in research activities to prepare them for advanced degrees and/or professional careers in aerospace-related fields. The students will work on individualized projects and participate in group activities such as seminars, lab/industry tours, outreach, and development of learning modules.

This REU site engages 10 students each year in research on advanced aerospace systems, including the theoretical formulation, computational simulation, and experimental validation of design and development. The multidisciplinary nature of these projects will engage students in cross-cutting technologies through their specific research and group activities. As pointed out by various news reports, the increasing global competition is due to (1) the aging of the current aerospace workforce, (2) the fact that aerospace and related engineering and science fields do not attract enough top students to STEM disciplines, and (3) recent declining trends of engineering graduates going into aerospace fields. The proposed REU site, while combining the strengths of a major research university at Florida State University and an HBCU at Florida A&M University, has many faculty members with established track records in both scholarly activities and recruitment and education of minority and female engineering students. We will coordinate with other ongoing undergraduate student training programs for joint recruitment, professional training, and group activities. Participants will engage with a series of hands-on learning modules on advanced fluid flow diagnostics and wind tunnel testing techniques. The student cohort will be recruited, especially under-represented minorities in engineering, to participate in research activities to prepare them for advanced degrees and/or professional careers in aerospace-related fields. The students will work on individualized projects and participate in group activities such as seminars, lab/industry tours, outreach, and development of learning modules. This site is supported by the Department of Defense in partnership with the NSF REU program.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.

为期三年的REU网站：下一代航空航天系统的转型技术由佛罗里达州立大学与佛罗里达农工大学合作主办。这个REU网站每年吸引10名学生从事先进航空航天系统的研究，包括设计和开发的理论公式、计算模拟和实验验证。这些项目的多学科性质将使学生通过他们的具体研究和小组活动来参与交叉技术。参与者将参与一系列关于先进流体流动诊断和风洞测试技术的实践学习模块。将招募学生群体，特别是工程学中代表性不足的少数族裔，参加研究活动，为他们在航空航天相关领域获得高级学位和/或职业生涯做好准备。学生将从事个性化的项目，并参与小组活动，如研讨会、实验室/行业参观、外展和学习模块的开发。为期三年的REU网站：下一代航空航天系统的转型技术由佛罗里达州立大学与佛罗里达农工大学合作主办。这个REU网站每年吸引10名学生从事先进航空航天系统的研究，包括设计和开发的理论公式、计算模拟和实验验证。这些项目的多学科性质将使学生通过他们的具体研究和小组活动来参与交叉技术。正如各种新闻报道所指出的，全球竞争加剧的原因是(1)当前航空航天劳动力的老龄化，(2)航空航天及相关工程和科学领域不能吸引足够多的顶尖学生进入STEM学科，以及(3)最近工程学毕业生进入航空航天领域的趋势。拟议中的REU网站结合了佛罗里达州立大学的一所主要研究型大学和佛罗里达农工大学的HBCU的优势，拥有许多教职员工，他们在学术活动、少数族裔和女性工程学学生的招生和教育方面都有既定的记录。我们将协调其他正在进行的本科生培养项目，开展联合招聘、专业培训和小组活动。参与者将参与一系列关于先进流体流动诊断和风洞测试技术的实践学习模块。将招募学生群体，特别是工程学中代表性不足的少数族裔，参加研究活动，为他们在航空航天相关领域获得高级学位和/或职业生涯做好准备。学生将从事个性化的项目，并参与小组活动，如研讨会、实验室/行业参观、外展和学习模块的开发。该网站由国防部与NSF REU计划合作支持。这一奖项反映了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。
