REU Site in Civil Engineering at the University of Notre Dame

NSF Research Experiences for Undergraduates（REU） 继续进行。 NSF每年为10名本科生提供支持 将使他们能够参与研究活动的 教师。 这种体验旨在为学生提供一个 提高对研究的理解，并鼓励他们考虑 在研究的职业生涯。 对这一可再生能源股的支持将为以下方面提供连续性： 我们的计划在1988年和1989年的夏天进行， 对此类研究活动的承诺，并为学生提供 有机会参与正在进行的前沿研究 项目 研究活动涵盖了联合国各专门知识领域， 土木工程系，包括水资源项目， 生物工程和污染控制，以及结构力学。 该计划的组成部分包括识别异常 通过在全国范围内招收学生，重点是妇女， 少数民族参与;学生研究兴趣与 教师;研究生与教师的密切互动;密切 研究生和教师与本科生的互动 为了让学生更全面地了解研究生学习， 大学研究和学术生涯;紧张的两个月 研究经验;微型课程，根据需要，以促进 研究项目的有效性;和一个小型会议， 结果的介绍。 该计划的目标是激发一些 全国最好的工程专业学生， 研究的职业生涯。

Support for an NSF Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site is continued. The NSF support for 10 undergraduate students each year will allow them to become involved in the research activities of the faculty. This experience is designed to provide students with an improved understanding of research and to encourage them to consider careers in research. Support for this REU will provide continuity for our program carried out in the summers of 1988 and 1989, supplement the commitment to such research activities, and provide students with the opportunity to participate in ongoing cutting-edge research projects. The research activities span the areas of expertise of the faculty in civil engineering and include projects in water resources, bioengineering and pollution control, and structural mechanics. Components of the program include identification of exceptional students through nationwide recruitment with emphasis on women and minority participation; matching of student research interests with faculty; close interaction of graduate students and faculty; close interaction of graduate students and faculty with the undergraduates to provide students with a fuller appreciation of graduate study, university research, and careers in academia; an intense two month research experience; mini-courses, as needed, to facilitate effectiveness in the research projects; and a mini-conference for presentation of results. The goal of the program is to excite some of the best engineering students in the nation about the challenges of a career in research.
