Sustainability, Energy and Engineering REU Site

摘要可持续发展，能源和工程（SEE）REU网站机构：北卡罗来纳州州立大学（NCSU）首席研究员：史蒂芬W。PerettiThis REU奖为期3年的网站对环境可持续的产品和工艺，能源支持每年11名本科生在NCSU为期10周的研究和专业发展计划三年。 这个REU网站的目标有三个方面：（1）培养可持续发展和绿色工程的未来知识领导者;（2）提高学生的成功研究生教育的可能性，主要是本科院校和工程代表性不足的群体;以及（3）在参与者中培养与科学相关的纪律思维，以及伦理和经济动机的科学实施可持续制造实践。这个REU计划建立在由以前的绿色处理REU在NCSU建立的势头。 SEE计划的参与者将有机会在绿色加工的许多方面进行前沿研究。 该研究将通过专题讨论会和参加美国化学学会（ACS）年度绿色化学与工程会议，置于更广泛的可持续性背景下。 学生将来自各种学术和种族背景。 招聘将针对主要的本科院校（PUI）和历史上的黑人学院和大学（HBCU），以确保学生群体的多样化。 多样性是这个REU网站的哲学核心;因此，它体现在计划的目标，选择纳入的项目，组织结构和已经建立的合作。

Abstract for Sustainability, Energy and Engineering (SEE) REU SiteInstitution: North Carolina State University (NCSU)Principal Investigator: Steven W. PerettiThis REU award for a 3 year Site on environmentally sustainable products and processes, and energy supports 11 undergraduate students per year for three years in a 10-week research and professional development program at NCSU. The objectives of this REU Site are threefold: (1) to develop future knowledge leaders in sustainability and green engineering; (2) to enhance the likelihood of successful graduate education in students from predominately undergraduate institutions and groups underrepresented in engineering; and (3) to develop in the participants disciplined thinking related to science, as well as the ethical and economic motivations for implementation of science for sustainable manufacturing practices.This REU program builds on the momentum established by the previous Green Processing REU at NCSU. Participants in the SEE program will be provided opportunities to perform cutting edge research in many aspects of green processing. That research will be placed within the broader context of sustainability through symposia and attendance at the annual American Chemical Society (ACS) Green Chemistry and Engineering Conference. The students will come from a variety of academic and ethnic backgrounds. Recruiting will be targeted at predominately undergraduate institutions (PUIs) and historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) to ensure a diverse student population. Diversity is the philosophical core of this REU Site; therefore, it is embodied in the objectives of the program, the projects selected for inclusion, the organizational structure, and the collaborations that have been established.
