本科生（REU）网站的研究经验：高超音速，推进，高能和可重复使用的平台（HYPER）在中央佛罗里达大学（UCF）的先进技术解决了下一代交通和能源发电模式的挑战。实现先进的太空旅行和能源生产的计划平台只能通过多学科研究来实现。这个REU网站将积极招募和合作伙伴的约33名学生在3年内与领先的教师和研究生在UCF的多元化群体。这些团队将共同推进克服限制高超音速飞行的技术障碍所需的基础知识。候选REU学生将根据他们的兴趣和技能与个人研究项目相匹配。随着他们的大部分时间从事前沿研究，REU学生还将受益于研究型研讨会，专业发展研讨会，软件培训和发射台设施图尔斯之旅。HYPER有几个目标;最重要的是，为学生从事博士水平的研究和以研究为导向的就业做好准备。HYPER将培养和联合多学科的兴趣，研究先进的结构和系统，并将其应用于高超音速、空间、推进和能源。例如，运载火箭中的部件经受组合的极端环境，其中流体-结构相互作用是关键考虑因素。此外，必须更好地理解先进制造，以提高部件性能并减轻重量。必须创建用于对系统的数字版本进行建模的框架，以更准确地预测整体性能。参与者将获得当代挑战的实践研究培训，例如：（1）将先进的制造技术用于高价值部件，（2）集成应力-应变演变的原位监测，（3）开发用于改进内部冷却和传热效率的新方法，（4）通过先进的转子动态控制减轻颤振，十一个模块是精心制作的，以吸引学生在博士水平的主题;这些研究课题依赖于跨学科和技术（例如，实验和模拟）。因此，HYPER将在为这些领域的研究事业培养年轻工程师和科学家队伍方面发挥关键作用。该网站由国防部与NSF REU计划合作支持。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Site: Advanced Technologies for Hypersonic, Propulsive, Energetic and Reusable Platforms (HYPER) at the University of Central Florida (UCF) addresses challenges in next-generation modes of transportation and energy generation. Realizing planned platforms for advanced space travel and energy production can only be achieved through multidisciplinary research. This REU site will actively recruit and partner a diverse group of approximately 33 students over 3 years with leading faculty and graduate students at UCF. Together, these teams will advance the fundamental knowledge needed to overcome technical barriers limiting hypersonic flight. Candidate REU students will be matched with individual research projects based on their interests and skills. With the majority of their time engaged in cutting-edge research, REU students will also benefit from research-oriented seminars, professional development workshops, software training, and launch pad facility tours. HYPER has several goals; most importantly, to prepare students for PhD-level research and research-oriented employment.HYPER will cultivate and unite multidisciplinary interests to study advanced structures and systems with application to hypersonics, space, propulsion, and energy. For example, components in launch vehicles are subjected to combined extreme environments where fluid-structure interactions are key considerations. Also, advanced manufacturing must be better understood to improve component performance and reduce weight. Frameworks for modeling digital versions of systems must be created to predict overall performance more accurately. Participants will gain hands-on research training in contemporary challenges such as: (1) utilizing advanced manufacturing techniques for high-value components, (2) integrating in situ monitoring of stress- strain evolution, (3) developing novel methods for improved internal cooling and heat transfer effectiveness, (4) mitigating flutter through advanced rotor dynamic control, etc. Eleven modules are crafted to engage students in PhD-level topics; these research topics rely on approaches that cut across disciplines and techniques (e.g., experiments and simulations). As a result, HYPER will play a key role in preparing a workforce of young engineers and scientists for research careers in these areas.This site is supported by the Department of Defense in partnership with the NSF REU program.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.
