REU Site: Advances in Additive Manufacturing and Bio/Nano Applications

这个为期三年的更新REU网站计划在密尔沃基工程学院（MSOE）将从事本科生超过十周的研究在广泛的微型制造和增材制造应用在MSOE的卓越中心。 典型的项目将生物，化学和医学领域与机械，制造，生物医学，电气，计算机和建筑工程学科相结合。REU Site计划的总体目标是：1）为技术多样化的本科生群体提供综合研究机会，以体验增材制造（AM）中不断增长的技术趋势和机会，从而产生新创建的复杂微型结构和模型; 2）通过AM的研究和开发跨学科方法，应用于生物医学，细胞，生物分子，3）继续通过招收少数民族、妇女和残疾学生来促进多样性，使他们成为具有特殊能力的专业毕业生; 4）为参与者提供服务学习机会，高中学生和教师将在夏季在MSOE校园导致持续的K-12外展;和5）贡献现实世界的结果和出版物，从他们的研究项目与教师和行业的合作伙伴。除了他们的研究项目，学生将参加跨学科小组会议和研讨会，设施图尔斯参观，包括参观研究生院，PowerPoint演示文稿，海报，并撰写研究论文。 在夏季结束时，学生将通过最后的口头报告和海报展示在广泛的MSOE观众和家人和朋友面前展示他们的研究。 招聘工作将针对全国范围内第一代和传统上代表性不足的学生，特别是来自第二梯队的非博士生。授予机构。历史上的黑人学院和大学以及其他少数民族机构将专门针对确保25%的少数民族参与。谁参加这个REU计划的本科生将有动力追求研究生教育。随着许多高中教师和学生在MSOE校园通过K-12项目的推广互动带路和生物分子建模活动中心，REU参与者将有独特的机会，以扩大他们的研究，包括服务的K-12学校，而在程序。参与者将能够为他们的研究服务于整个社区。他们还将探讨如何与学童分享他们的研究成果，以影响儿童对科学和技术的追求。REU最终研究论文和最终口头报告的DVD将提供给MSOE图书馆和MSOE快速原型库，供所有MSOE学生和教师在课程中使用。研究论文将在REU网站上提供。 所有参与者将在全国大学生研究会议等全国性会议上介绍他们的研究工作，并在会议记录中发表论文。

This three year renewal REU Site program at Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE) will engage undergraduate students over ten weeks in research in a wide range of micro-manufacturing and additive manufacturing applications at MSOE's Centers for Excellence. Typical projects will mesh the fields of biology, chemistry, and medicine with mechanical, manufacturing, biomedical, electrical, computer and architectural engineering disciplines. The overall objectives of the REU Site program are to: 1) provide integrated research opportunities for technically diverse groups of undergraduate students to experience the growing technological trends and opportunities in additive manufacturing (AM) leading to newly created, complex and miniature structures and models; 2) develop interdisciplinary approaches through research and development in AM with applications to biomedical, cellular, biomolecular, mechanical and other related science and engineering fields; 3) continue to foster diversity by recruiting of minorities, women, and students with disabilities; enabling them to become professional graduates with exceptional capabilities; 4) provide participants with service learning opportunities with high school students and teachers that will be on the MSOE campus in summer leading to sustained K-12 outreach; and 5) contribute real-world results and publications from their research projects in conjunction with faculty and industry collaborators.In addition to their research projects, the students will participate in interdisciplinary group sessions and seminars,facility tours including a visit to a graduate school, powerpoint presentations, posters, and writing of research papers. At the end of the summer, students will present their research through final oral presentations and poster presentations before a wide MSOE audience and family and friends. Recruitment efforts will be targeted to first-generation and traditionally underrepresented students nationwide, especially from second tier non Ph.D. granting institutions. Historically Black Colleges and Universities and other minority institutions will specifically be targeted to ensure 25% minority participation. Undergraduate students who participate in this REU program will be motivated to pursue graduate education. With many high school teachers and students interacting on MSOE campus through K-12 outreach by the Project Lead the Way and the Center for Biomolecular Modeling activities, REU participants will have the unique opportunity to extend their research to include service to the K-12 schools while in the program. The participants will be able to make a case for their research serving the community at-large. They will also explore how their research can be shared with school children to make an impact on childrens pursuit of science and technology. The REU final research papers and the DVD of final oral presentations will be made available to the MSOE library and the MSOE Rapid Prototyping library for all MSOE students and faculty to use in their courses. Research papers will be available on the REU website. All the participants will present their research work at a national conference such as the National Conference on Undergraduate Research and publish their papers in its proceedings.
