REU Site: Characterization of Advanced Materials.

9876937 bahr华盛顿州立大学建立了一个本科生研究经验（REU）网站，重点是先进材料的表征。在全国范围内招募10名本科生进行为期10周的暑期研究体验，招聘重点是来自太平洋西北地区和落基山脉地区的本科生。学生参与材料研究，包括薄膜生长、机械性能测量和复合材料的固体自由成形制造。本科生团队合作，确定加工参数与所得材料结构之间的关系，以及结构对所研究材料性能的影响。此外，学生还要参加40小时的乐器课程、每周的研讨会和社会活动。为本科上下两级的学生提供接触先进加工和表征技术的机会，可以激励有才华的本科生进入或留在材料研究领域。

9876937BahrWashington State University establishes a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site with a focus on characterization of advanced materials. Ten undergraduate students are recruited nationwide for a ten-week summer research experience, with a recruitment focus on students from predominantly undergraduate institutions in the Pacific Northwest and Rocky Mountain regions.Students are involved in materials research that includes thin film growth, mechanical properties measurements, and solid freeform fabrication of composites. Undergraduate students work in teams to determine the correlation between processing parameters and resulting material structure, as well as the effect of structure on the properties of the materials studied. In addition, students participate in a forty-hour instrumentation course, weekly seminars and social activities. Providing students at both the lower and upper undergraduate level with exposure to advanced processing and characterization techniques motivates talented undergraduates to enter or remain in the field of materials research.
