Research Experiences for Undergraduates Site at Mechanical and Aeospace Engineering Department, Syracuse University

REU网站仍在继续。研究资助授予在三年级和四年级有动力且在学业上出类拔萃的工程学本科生。该项目包括暑期和学年两个部分。在8名REU参与者中，至少有3名将从锡拉丘兹大学以外的学院和大学的申请者中挑选出来参加暑期活动。招聘工作的一个特别重点将是吸引妇女、少数群体和残疾学生群体的参与者。在目前(1989-1990年)的REU项目中，八名参与者中有两名是少数族裔学生，其中一名少数族裔参与者是妇女。机械和航空航天工程系的七名教员表示有兴趣监督REU参与者的研究工作。教职员工积极从事的研究领域包括实验和计算流体力学、气体动力学、空气动力学、传热学、直升机空气动力学和气动弹性稳定性、空气声学、噪声控制、汽车工程、造纸技术和机器人。REU参与者可以选择他或她感兴趣的这些研究领域中的任何一个研究问题。*REU参与者对当前(1989-1990年)项目的预期情况和成就在说明第9-12页“以前国家科学基金支助的结果”下概述，更多细节见附录六，第16-21页。项目16下概述了1990-92年区域联盟参加者的概况(pp.IX-X)。**在每一位教师导师的研究兴趣下，向REU参与者建议的一些典型研究问题列在叙述中(第3-9页)。

An REU site is continued. Research support is awarded to motivated and academically superior engineering undergraduates in their junior and senior year. The program has both the summer and academic year components. At least three of the eight REU participants will be selected for summer participation from applicants from colleges and universities other than Syracuse University. A particular focus of recruitment effort will be to attract participants from women, minority and disabled student groups. For the current (1989-90) REU project, two of the eight participants were minority students and one of the minority participant was a woman. Seven faculty members in the mechanical and aerospace engineering Department have expressed interest in supervising the research efforts of the REU participants. The areas in which the faculty members are actively engaged in research span experimental and computational fluid mechanics, gasdynamics, aerodynamics, heat transfer, helicopter aerodynamics and aeroelastic stability, aeroacoutics, noise control, automotive engineering, paper technology and robotics. A REU participant may select research problem in any one of these research areas of interest to him or her. * The expected profile and the accomplishments of the REU participants for the current (1989-90) project are outlined under "Results from Prior NSF Support" in the Narrative pp.9-12, with additional details in Appendix VI, pp. 16-21. The profile of the REU participants for 1990-92 is outline under item 16. (pp. IX-X). ** Under the research interests of each faculty supervisor, some typical research problems to be suggested to REU participants are listed in the Narrative (pp. 3-9).
