Increasing Female/Minority Enrollment and Awareness in Biomedical Engineering Through Research Experiences for Undergraduates at Purdue University

该奖项为普渡大学的REU网站提供长达三年的支持。将从美国各地招募10名学生，进行为期10周的生物医学工程相关研究夏季体验。该计划将鼓励本科生攻读工程学高级学位，从而影响国家需要增加从事研究相关职业的美国公民和永久居民的数量。预计该REU网站将对各国产生更广泛的影响，需要更广泛地参与科学和工程领域传统上代表性不足的人口群体的公民和永久居民的研究事业。

This award provides support for an REU Site at Purdue University for up to three years. Ten students will be recruited from throughout the U.S. for a ten-week summer experience in research related to biomedical engineering. The program will serve to encourage undergraduates to pursue advanced degrees in engineering and thus impact the nations need to increase the number of U.S. citizens and permanent residents engaged in research-related careers. It is also anticipated that this REU Site will have a Broader Impact on the nations need to have broader participation in the research enterprise of citizens and permanent residents from demographic groups traditionally underrepresented in science and engineering.
