REU Site: Research Experiences for Undergraduates in Chemical Engineering at the University of Florida

本研究经验的本科生（REU）计划在化学工程的佛罗里达大学（UF），化学工程系（ChE），将主办本科生的多元化队列谁将接触到国家的最先进的化学工程研究在广泛的领域：催化和反应工程，纳米制造和纳米工程，复杂的流动和界面现象，和生物医学应用。参观当地技术孵化器和与当地企业家互动将为与会者提供实验室技术转化的实例。这个为期10周的夏季REU计划的目标是为对化学工程研究感兴趣的本科生提供有意义的研究经验，提供关于如何进行研究的正式和非正式教育，并激励学生追求化学工程的高级研究。参与者将在当前化学工程研究的广泛领域进行研究，包括催化和反应工程，纳米制造和纳米级工程，复杂的流动和界面现象，以及化学工程的生物医学应用。参与者将由一个由十六名教师组成的小组指导，他们在指导本科生方面有着杰出的记录。每周的研讨会将向参与者介绍在研究中取得成功所需的许多技能。这些研讨会将由UF化学工程学院领导，促进与潜在的榜样互动。参与者还将受益于参观技术孵化器和靠近盖恩斯维尔，佛罗里达州的文化遗址。这个奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估的支持。

This Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program in Chemical Engineering at the University of Florida (UF), Department of Chemical Engineering (ChE), will host a diverse cohort of undergraduate students who will be exposed to state-of-the-art Chemical Engineering research in the broad areas of: Catalysis and Reaction Engineering, Nanomanufacturing and Nanoscale Engineering, Complex Flows and Interfacial Phenomena, and Biomedical Applications. Visits to local technology incubators and interactions with local entrepreneurs will provide participants with examples of translation of laboratory technologies. The goals of this 10 week summer REU program are to provide meaningful research experiences to undergraduates interested in chemical engineering research, provide formal and informal education on how to conduct research, and motivate students to pursue advanced studies in chemical engineering. Participants will conduct research in a broad range of areas representative of current Chemical Engineering research, including catalysis and reaction engineering, nanomanufacturing and nanoscale engineering, complex flows and interfacial phenomena, and biomedical applications of chemical engineering. Participants will be mentored by a group of sixteen faculty with a distinguished track record of mentoring undergraduates. Weekly seminars will introduce participants to many of the skills needed to be successful in research. These seminars will be led by UF ChE faculty, promoting interactions with potential role models. Participants will also benefit from visits to technology incubators and cultural sites close to Gainesville, FL.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
