Chemical Engineering Research Experience for Undergraduates

这个REU网站活动直接解决了增加女性和少数民族在工程研究生学习中的入学率的挑战。这个项目的关键方面是：1)通过参观精心挑选的“目标”学校，积极招募少数民族和妇女；2)一个以学生为导向的研究项目，包含社会和教学方面的内容，旨在使参与者成功融入一个令人兴奋的研究环境。10名教职员工自愿支持招聘、指导和研究监督。提供的项目涵盖了广泛的研究范围，从植物组织培养到由常见化学工程原理结合在一起的热力学。REU参与者将在选择之前与项目匹配，以最大限度地提高双方的利益和能力。参与者将在1990年夏季学期参加三学分的本科研究课程。课程开始时的教学计划旨在让学生快速开始研究。为了强调沟通的重要性，每个学生都需要做一个介绍性的期末和口头报告，以及最后的书面报告。

This REU Site activity directly addressed the challenge of increasing the enrollment of women and minorities in engineering graduate study. The key aspects of this program are: 1) the active recruitment of minorities and women by visiting carefully selected "target" schools, and 2) a student oriented research program that contains social as well as instructional aspects designed for successful integration of the participants into an exciting research environment. Ten faculty members have volunteered to support recruitment, instruction, and research supervision. The projects offered span a wide range of research, from plant tissue culture, to thermodynamics held together by common chemical engineering principles. REU participants will be matched with projects prior to selection to maximize mutual interests and capabilities. The participants will enroll in a three credit undergraduate research course during the 1990 summer semester. An instructional program at the beginning of the program has been designed to give the students a quick start on research. To stress the importance of communication, an introductory final and oral presentation, as well as a final written report will be required of each student.
