REU Site: Multidisciplinary Research in Aerospace Science and Engineering

EEC-0648996 Philippe H. Geubelle该奖项为伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟分校的REU网站提供为期三年的为期10周的暑期课程，每年支持10名本科生，该课程侧重于航空航天科学与工程（ASE）的多学科研究。REU网站的目标是：1）为本科生提供密集，教育和刺激的研究机会; 2）更好地为学生提供研究生工作和未来职业所需的研究和沟通技能。REU的主要组成部分将是实践研究，这是多学科的，在航空航天领域的前沿。其他教育活动（研讨会，非正式会议，最终学生演讲和论文）将加强和支持学生的研究。 这些活动将旨在教授研究和沟通技能，并更好地告知学生，因为他们做出选择有关研究生院和进入劳动力市场。 本课程将招收具有工程、计算机科学和物理学背景的本科生。 为了覆盖服务不足和代表性不足的人口，招聘工作将针对中西部的四年制大学、有工程预科课程的大学和少数民族服务机构。

EEC-0648996Philippe H. GeubelleThis award for an REU Site at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign supports 10 undergraduate students each year for three years in a 10-week summer program that focuses on multidisciplinary research in aerospace science and engineering (ASE). The objectives of the REU Site are: 1) to provide intensive, educational, and stimulating research opportunities for undergraduates; and 2) to better prepare students with research and communication skills necessary for graduate work and their future careers. The main component of the REU will be hands-on research that is multidisciplinary and in the forefront of the aerospace field.Other educational activities (seminars, informal meetings, final student presentations and papers) will enhance and support the student research. These activities will be designed to teach research and communication skill sets, and to better inform students as they make choices concerning graduate school and entering the workforce. Undergraduate students with backgrounds in engineering, computer science, and physics will be recruited for this program. In order to reach underserved and underrepresented populations, recruitment efforts will be targeted to four-year colleges in the Midwest, universities with pre-engineering programs, and minority serving institutions.
