REU Site in the Department of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering

该项目将为航空航天和机械工程专业的本科生建立一个NSF研究经验。这个项目的学生候选人招募将集中在印第安纳州圣母院500英里以内的大学。该地区以外没有研究生课程的几所大学也将被联系。在全国少数民族研究生学位联合会的帮助下，少数民族学生将被鼓励申请该项目。被选中的学生将参加一个有意义的研究经验，为期两个月的夏季消除在他们的努力成果的介绍。该计划旨在提高工程或科学专业合格本科生对从事研究工作的机会的认识，为那些攻读研究生课程的人提供机会。学生的研究项目包括飞行器的相机辅助机械臂放置精度结构设计，用于空间低推力推进的微米尺寸液滴的轨迹，冲击波/湍流边界层相互作用以及三维温度场的干涉仪测绘。

This project will establish an NSF Research Experience for Undergraduate site in aerospace and mechanical engineering. The Recruitment of student candidates for this program will concentrate on universities within 500 miles of Notre Dame, Indiana. Several universities outside of the area that do not have graduate programs will also be contacted. With the assistance of the National Consortium for Graduate Degrees for Minorities, Inc., minority students will be encouraged to apply to the program. The students selected will participate in a meaningful research experience for two summer month eliminating in a presentation of the results of their efforts. The program is designed to increase the awareness of qualified undergraduate students in engineering or science of the opportunities afforded by a career in research for those who pursue graduate studies. Student research projects include camera-assisted manipulator placement precision structural design of flight vehicles, trajectonics of micron-size droplets used for low thrust propulsion in space, shockwave/turbulant boundary lay interactions, and interferometer mapping of three dimensional temperature fields.
