REU Site: Transformational Technologies for Next-Generation Aerospace Systems

为期三年的REU站点：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a&m大学合作主办。这个REU网站每年招收10名学生研究先进的航空航天系统，包括理论公式，计算模拟，以及设计和开发的实验验证。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，特别是工程领域人数不足的少数民族，参加研究活动，为他们获得航空航天相关领域的高级学位和/或专业职业做好准备。学生们将完成个性化的项目，并参加小组活动，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站点：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a&m大学合作主办。这个REU网站每年招收10名学生研究先进的航空航天系统，包括理论公式，计算模拟，以及设计和开发的实验验证。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参与交叉技术。正如各种新闻报道所指出的那样，全球竞争的加剧是由于(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没有吸引足够多的优秀学生进入STEM学科，以及(3)工程毕业生进入航空航天领域的趋势最近有所下降。拟议中的REU校区结合了佛罗里达州立大学（Florida State university）的主要研究型大学和佛罗里达农工大学（Florida a&m university）的HBCU的优势，拥有许多在学术活动、招收和教育少数族裔和女性工程专业学生方面有着良好记录的教员。我们将与其他正在进行的本科生培训项目协调，进行联合招生、专业培训和团体活动。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，特别是工程领域人数不足的少数民族，参加研究活动，为他们获得航空航天相关领域的高级学位和/或专业职业做好准备。学生们将完成个性化的项目，并参加小组活动，如研讨会、实验室/行业参观、外展和学习模块的开发。该站点由国防部与NSF REU项目合作提供支持。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，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。

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.

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.
