SDSM&T-MUS&T REU Site Collaboration

该奖项为南达科他州矿业与技术学院与蒙古科技大学（MUS&amp；T）合作开展为期三年的国内和国际本科生研究经验（REU）项目提供支持，用于先进材料和生化工程的研究。REU网站的目标是：(1)为10名化学工程或相关领域的本科生提供独特的研究机会；(2)为美国印第安人、妇女和其他代表性不足的群体提供化学工程研究的工作知识，作为职业道路；(3)提供在国际环境中获得研究经验的机会；(4)增强学生的批判性思维和沟通能力（包括书面、口头、听力和视听表达能力）；(5)提高学生对研究生学习的兴趣，目标是30%的参与者攻读研究生学位；(6)在研究环境中向学生介绍“课堂之外”的体验；(7)增强学生独立思考的能力。至少30%的学生将从蒙大拿州、内布拉斯加州、北达科他州和怀俄明州周围四个州的部落学院、四年制和社区学院和大学中招募，这些州历来缺乏研究机会。

The goals of the REU site are to (1) provide ten undergraduates of chemical engineering or allied fields with a unique research opportunity; (2) provide American Indians, women, and other under-represented groups a working knowledge of research in chemical engineering as a career path; (3) provide an opportunity to gain research experience in an international setting; (4) enhance students' critical thinking and communication skills (including written, oral, listening, and audio/visual presentation skills); (5) increase the students' interest in graduate studies with a target of 30% of participants pursuing graduate degrees; (6) introduce students to the 'beyond the classroom' experience in a research setting; and (7) enhance the students' ability to think independently. At least 30% of the students will be recruited from Tribal, four-year, and community colleges and universities from the four surrounding states of Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, and Wyoming, where research opportunities historically have been lacking.
