Research Experiences in Micro/Nanoengineering

EEC-0649282 Steven A.Jones该奖项为路易斯安那理工大学的REU站点项目提供支持。该计划将在三年内每年为9名本科生提供10周的应用于生物医学的纳米工程项目的实验室研究经验。本科生还将接受与研究相关的主题的正式指导，包括定义研究问题、方案规划和记录维护、图书馆研究、口头和书面形式的研究报告、知识产权、统计分析和工程伦理。由于生物医学工程是少数几个传统上吸引女性学生的工程学科之一，该项目有可能吸引女性进入微/纳米工程领域。招生工作将集中在目前没有工程学研究生课程或该学科硕士课程有限的学院和大学的学生。目标学生将被录取参加数学、工程、物理、化学或生物课程。该奖项由激励竞争性研究实验计划(EHR/EPSCoR)共同资助。

EEC-0649282Steven A. JonesThe award provides support for an REU Site program at Louisiana Tech University. This program will provide 9 undergraduates students each year for three years a 10 week in-lab research experience in a nano-engineering project applied to biomedicine. The undergraduate students will also receive formal instruction in research related topics that include defining a research problem, protocol planning, and maintenance of records, library research, and research reporting in oral and written format, intellectual property, statistical analysis, and ethics in engineering. Because Biomedical Engineering is one of the few engineering disciplines that have traditionally attracted women students, this program has the potential to draw women into the field of micro/nano-engineering. Recruitment efforts will focus on students from colleges and universities that either do not currently have graduate programs in engineering or have limited masters programs in this discipline. The targeted students will be enrolled in mathematics, engineering, physics, chemistry or biology programs. This award is co-funded by the Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EHR/EPSCoR).
