Establishment of an Inter-Institutional NSF/REU Site in Civil Engineering & Mechanics

每位学生将使用实验室和计算设备进行相关主题的研究。研究项目的设计允许学生在准备水平上的灵活性，培养学生工作的独立性，并产生对研究方法的兴趣和理解。研究课题包括磷酸盐粘土固结物特性、危险废物的生物降解、粘结缝的有限元分析、板桥的温差、可变脉冲流量阀等。

Each student will conduct research related topic using the laboratory and computational facilities. Research projects are designed to permit flexibility in the student's level of preparedness, to develop independence in the student's work, and to generate an interest in and understanding of the research methodology. Research topics include consolidator characteristics of phosphate clay, biodegration of hazardous wastes, finite element analysis of bonded joints, differential temperature in slab bridges, and variable pulsed flow valve.
