REU Site: Research Experience for Chemical Engineering Undergraduates

0244186 Ostermankill奖提供资金给堪萨斯大学研究中心，用于建立一个为期三年的本科生研究经验（REU）网站，每年为13名学生提供化学和石油工程研究机会。项目将涉及生物医学工程、燃料电池技术、催化剂开发、计算机辅助分子建模和设计、等离子体沉积和微芯片制造等领域。学生将被分配个人项目，并将与教师，研究生和专业人员的团队互动。除了研究经验，学生将参加每周研讨会，口头介绍中期成果，书面报告的准备，并在研究方法讲座。参与者将从全国各地的机构招募，特别注意从没有广泛研究项目的机构招募学生和来自代表性不足群体的学生。预计该计划将有助于鼓励和指导美国学生进入研究生院和从事研究工作。

0244186 OstermannThis award provides funding to the University of Kansas Center for Research for the establishment of a three-year Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Site for 13 students each year for research opportunities in chemical and petroleum engineering. Projects will be available in areas such as biomedical engineering; fuel cell technology; catalyst development; computer-aided molecular modeling and design; plasma deposition; and microchip fabrication. Students will be assigned individual projects and will interact with teams of faculty, graduate students, and professional staff. In addition to the research experience, students will participate in weekly seminars, oral presentations of interim results, written report preparation, and lectures on research methodology. Participants will be recruited from institutions nationwide, with special attention to recruiting students from institutions without extensive research programs and students from underrepresented groups. It is anticipated that this program will help encourage and direct American students to graduate school and careers in research.
