Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site in Experimental, Theoretical, and Computational Fluid Dynamics

锡拉丘兹大学机械、航空航天和制造工程系正在为本科生设立一个研究经验项目，重点是流体力学，包括实验、理论和计算项目。该项目将在夏季为期12周的时间内进行。将选出6名参与者，其中至少4名来自锡拉丘兹大学以外的学校。将做出强有力的承诺，从传统上在工程学领域代表性不足的群体中招收学生。六名教员参与了这项拟议的工作；他们的研究专长范围从生成边界层计算的并行算法到超音速流动的测量。在开始个人项目之前，每个学生都将参加为期一周的强化培训计划，该计划将涉及基本的研究技术。除了与教师导师进行一对一的互动外，还计划了一项补充活动计划，以促进每个参与者的专业发展。计划的活动包括关于专业写作的研讨会，关于道德和职业责任的讨论，关于公开演讲的讲座，以及应邀演讲者关于流体动力学研究在工业中的作用的演讲。参与者还将准备一份书面研究提案，一份最终书面报告，并口头陈述拟议的工作和最终结果。

The Department of Mechanical, Aerospace and Manufacturing Engineering at Syracuse University is establishing a Research Experiences for Undergraduates program focused on fluid dynamics, including experimental, theoretical, and computational projects. The program will be conducted during a 12 week period in the summer. Six participants will be chosen, with at least four from schools other than Syracuse University. A strong commitment will be made to recruit students from groups that have traditionally been underrepresented in engineering. Six faculty are involved in the proposed work; their research expertise ranges from the generation of parallel algorithms for boundary layer calculations to measurements in supersonic flows. Before starting individual projects each student will attend an intensive one week training program that will address basic research techniques. In addition to one-on-one interaction with a faculty mentor, a complementary program of activities is planned to enhance the professional development of each participant. Among scheduled activities are a workshop on professional writing, a discussion of ethics and professional responsibility, a lecture on public speaking, and presentations on the role of fluid dynamics research in industry by invited speakers. Participants also will prepare a written research proposal, a final written report and make oral presentations of proposed work and final results.
