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

为30名在校本科生提供长期荣誉计划 已成功地与NSF-REU网站计划相结合。 合并后的计划增加了学生的总人数 参与者，并提供资源，以招聘关闭， 校园参与者 REU场地的延续允许 计划广泛地作为一个国家和区域中心， 本科生暑期研究 具体目标是 活动是提供深入的研究经验，指导 有才华的学生走向研究生涯，暴露参与者 各种研究，课题，并增加了能力， 学生交流研究计划和成果。 研究 项目包括：（1）过冷液态金属薄膜， 分辨率扫描，隧道显微镜，（2）生长 单细胞测量，（3）双层膜表征 聚合物共混体系，（4）基因扩增的影响 在生物催化的速率上。

A long-standing honors program for 30 on-campus undergraduates has been successfully integrated with the NSF-REU site program. The combined program has increased the total number of student participants and provided resources for the recruitment of off- campus participants. Continuation of the REU site permits the program to serve broadly as a state and regional Center for summer undergraduate research. The specific goals of this activity are to provide in-depth research experience, guide talented students towards a research career, expose participants to a variety of research, topics, and increase the ability of the students to communicate research plans and results. Research projects include: (1) supercooled liquid metal films for high resolution scanning, tunneling microscopy, (2) growth measurements on single cells, (3) bilayer film characterization of polymer blending systems, and (4) effect of gene amplification in the rate of biocatalysis.
