REU: Summer Research Experiences for Undergraduates in Mechanical Engineering

建议没有。摘要克莱姆森大学机械工程系的本科生研究经验项目将邀请来自克莱姆森大学和其他机构的学生参加为期十周的研究、研讨会和讲习班。REU网站将与该部门的高级部门荣誉计划相辅相成，该计划要求高年级学生完成一个研究项目并撰写一篇毕业论文。所有的活动将集中在研究的各个方面：问题制定、实验、分析、出版和介绍。参与者将在智力上受到挑战，并学会独立工作。与教师的一对一接触以及与研究生的互动也将向这些学生介绍研究生教育的机会以及研究和学术界的职业选择。研究项目将涵盖热学和流体科学、机械和制造系统、工程力学和材料等领域。学生将在预先安排的研究项目上进行密集的工作，该项目将符合他们与系里教师的兴趣。此外，他们还将参加有关研究伦理、研究生教育、职业教学和专业主义的讲座。工作坊将举办书面及口头陈述。该项目最终将由每个学生准备一份书面报告，介绍他们的工作和一个海报会议，他们将向大学和地区工程界感兴趣的各方描述他们的工作。

Proposal No.: 9732322 PI: Kennedy University: Clemson U ABSTRACT The proposed Research Experiences for Undergraduates site in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Clemson University will involve students from Clemson and other institutions in a ten-week program of research, seminars, and workshops. The REU site will compliment the department's Senior Departmental Honors Program, which requires seniors to complete a research project and write a senior thesis. All of the activities will focus on the various aspects of research: problem formulation, experimentation, analysis, publication and presentation. The participants will be challenged intellectually and will learn to work independently. The one-on-one contact with faculty and interaction with graduate students will also introduce these students to the opportunities in graduate education and the career options in research and academia. The research projects will span the areas of thermal and fluid science, mechanical and manufacturing systems, engineering mechanics, and materials. Students will work intensively on a prearranged research project which matches their interests with that of a departmental faculty member. In addition, they will attend lectures on research ethics, graduate education, teaching as a profession, and professionalism. Workshops will be conducted on written and oral presentation. The program will culminate in the preparation of a written report, by each student, of their work and a poster session in which they will describe their work to interested parties from the university and regional engineering community.
