Molecular and Cellular Bioengineering Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site

EEC-0649052约翰·P·菲舍尔该奖项将在马里兰大学学院公园建立一个REU场地。该项目将邀请每年10名本科生参加为期三年的为期10周的夏季研究体验。这个REU网站的目标是向具有工程和科学背景的本科生介绍一个多元化的研究环境，涉及分子和细胞层面的生物工程。该项目的四个目标是：1)专注于从分子和细胞生物工程研究水平适中的机构招聘和挑选本科生；2)向本科生介绍分子和细胞生物工程方面的多样化研究计划；3)促进该领域内基于团队和跨学科的研究；以及4)扩大学生对新兴技术和趋势的知识，为研究生学习或职业生涯做好准备。再就业努力将重点放在分子和细胞生物工程研究水平不高的机构的本科生身上。特别是，招生工作针对的是来自主要文科大学、没有研究生课程的机构或没有生物工程活动的机构的学生。这一REU的一个重要方面是来自许多学科和背景的学生潜在地参与到分子和细胞生物工程这一令人兴奋的领域。除化学工程本科专业外，还将招收化学、生物化学、物理和生物学专业的学生。

EEC-0649052John P. FisherThis award will establish an REU Site at the University of Maryland College Park. The program will engage 10 undergraduates each year for three years in a 10-week summer research experience. The objective of this REU Site is to introduce undergraduates with engineering and science backgrounds to a diverse research environment involving bioengineering at the molecular and cellular level. The four goals of the project are to: 1) focus on the recruitment and selection of undergraduates from institutions with modest levels of molecular and cellular bioengineering research; 2) introduce the undergraduates to a diversified research program in molecular and cellular bioengineering; 3) promote team-based and cross-disciplinary research within this field; and 4) expand the student's knowledge of emerging technologies and trends, preparing them for graduate studies or a professional career.Recruitment efforts will be focused on undergraduates from institutions with modest levels of molecular and cellular bioengineering research. In particular, recruitment efforts are targeted towards students from major liberal arts colleges, institutions without graduate programs, or institutions without bioengineering activities.An important aspect of this REU is the potential involvement of students from many disciplines and backgrounds in the exciting area of molecular and cellular bioengineering. Students will be brought in from chemistry, biochemistry, physics, and biology in addition to chemical engineering undergraduate programs.
