REU Site Grant in Membrane and Thin Film Science

在NSF最近的一份研讨会报告和NRC最近的三份报告中，膜和薄膜科学的研究被确定为一项关键需求。科罗拉多大学博尔德分校化学工程系的11名教员将参加这项本科生研究经验(REU)计划。REU的招募工作将与少数民族工程、工程中的妇女和夏季少数民族研究机会培训计划合作进行。REU计划将包括研究方法、安全、信息检索、职业道德、解决问题的技能、口头和书面沟通技能、分析技术以及研究生准备方面的培训。在为REU津贴支持、旅行、住房、实验室用品和学生福利提供资金方面，做出了重大的机构承诺。

Research in membrane and thin film science has been identified as a critical need in a recent NSF Workshop report and in three recent NRC reports. Eleven faculty in the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Colorado at Boulder will participate in this Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program. Recruiting for the REU will be done in cooperation with the Minority Engineering, Women in Engineering, and Summer Minority Access to Research Training programs. The REU program will involve training in research methods, safety, information retrieval, professional ethics, problem-solving skills, oral and written communication skills, analytical techniques, and preparing for graduate school. A significant institutional commitment is made in terms of funds contributed to REU stipend support, travel, housing, laboratory supplies, and student benefits.
