Research Experiences for Undergraduates Site in the School of Engineering and Architecture at Tuskegee University

将建立本科生研究经验网站 在塔斯基吉大学机械工程系工作。 12个少数民族工科学生在大三结束时 每年将招募一名有研究经验的人。 每个学生的研究活动的持续时间预计 是一个学年。 每个本科生将配对 与一名正在进行的研究项目的研究生 在七位导师的带领下 资助的研究 领域是复合材料，疲劳，断裂力学，非 破坏性评估、微重力应用和控制， 电力推进和燃烧。 学生参与此 程序将被要求注册三个学分 研究课程，将被用作技术选修课。 在常规学期和每周会议期间举行双周会议 在夏季期间，将提供一个论坛，供提交进度报告， 交换信息。

A Research Experiences for Undergraduates site will be established at the Mechanical Engineering Department at Tuskegee University. Twelve minority engineering students at the end of their junior year will be recruited to have the research experience each year. The duration of the research activity for each student is expected to be one academic year. Each undergraduate student will be paired with a graduate student in an on-going funded research program under the leadership of seven faculty mentors. The funded research areas are in composite materials, fatigue, fracture mechanics, non- destructive evaluation, microgravity applications and control, electric propulsion and combustion. Students participating in this program will be required to register for a three credit hour Research course which will be used as a technical elective. Biweekly meetings during the regular semesters and weekly meetings during the summer will provide the forum for progress reports and exchange of information.
