Research Experience For Undergraduates (REU): Research Participation in Chemical Engineering

一个REU网站将为10名本科生建立一个为期12周的暑期研究项目。将参与该项目的9名教员对生物技术、电化学、界面现象、统计热力学、聚合物表征和材料科学有研究兴趣。该计划将包括一系列关于统计学、计算机编程和实验分析方法的教程。一系列研讨会将涉及校园内其他部门以及杜克大学和北卡罗来纳大学的资源，以及来自当地工业和公共实验室的研究人员，包括EPA、Ciba-Geigy和住友电气。将描述向化学工程师开放的跨学科研究中的合作可能性以及存在于大学之外的研究机会。该项目将以为期一天的公开研讨会结束，学生们将在研讨会上讨论他们的研究和成就。

An REU site will establish a twelve-week summer research program for ten undergraduates. Nine faculty who will participate in the program have research interests in biotechnology, electrochemistry, interfacial phenomena, statistical thermodynamics, polymer characterization and materials science. The program will include a tutorial series on statistics, computer programming and experimental methods for analysis. A seminar series will involve the resources in other departments on campus and at Duke and UNC, as well as researchers from local industrial and public laboratories, including EPA, Ciba-Geigy and Sumitomo Electric. Collaborative possibilities in cross- disciplinary research open to chemical engineers and research opportunities which exist outside the university will be described. The program will conclude with a day of public seminars, where the students will discuss their research and accomplishments.
