Development of an Interinstitutional REU Site

开展了一个机构间和跨学科的项目。该计划为10名机械工程、材料和生物工程领域的本科生提供研究机会。该计划的特点包括研究主题的基础，以及当前的工程兴趣，包括一些通过参与机构的教职员工之间的合作而产生的兴趣。由接收院校组成的五人教员小组，在外部院校的四人协助下，将监督项目活动。参与者从主办机构内部和外部招募，特别注意吸引合格的少数民族、残疾人和女学生。通过广泛和精心策划的指导和参与后活动，确保参与者有效地参与项目活动。项目结束时，本科生将对项目结果进行书面报告和口头报告。

An interinstitutional and interdisciplinary program is undertaken. The program provides research opportunities to 10 selected undergraduates in the mechanical engineering, materials, and bioengineering areas. Special features of the program include research topics that are of fundamental, as well as current engineering interest including several that have originated through collaboration between faculty members at the participating institutions. A five member faculty team from the host institution aided by four from the external institutions will supervise the project activities. Participants are recruited from both inside and outside the host institution with special attention given to attracting qualified minority, handicapped, and female students. Productive involvement of the participants in the project activities is assured through extensive and carefully planned orientation and postparticipation activities. The program terminates with written reports and oral presentations of the project results by the undergraduate participants.
