REU Site in Advanced Manufacturing and Supply Chain

这项为期三年的REU项目名为路易斯维尔大学先进制造和供应链（AMSC） REU站点，每年将为8名本科生提供为期10周的暑期体验培训。本网站的特色研究项目涵盖了广泛的主题，所有这些都集中在当前和未来制造业和供应链的紧迫问题上。AMSC研究是工程、商业和科学交叉的一个不断发展的跨学科领域。今天的制造业和供应链依赖于先进的技术，需要密集的技能，包括模拟、自动化和计算。这些技术为学生提供了一个学习和分析AMSC系统的平台，反过来，研究科学、工程和技术方面的新研究机会，以改进这些系统。其目标是促进基于AMSC领域特定项目活动的研究与本科教育的整合，并向REU学生展示如何将研究成果转化为现实世界的环境。这个新的为期三年的REU项目名为路易斯维尔大学先进制造和供应链（AMSC） REU站点，将提供为期10周的暑期体验培训。AMSC REU网站每年将招收8名学生，他们将从少数民族服务机构和限制使用研究设施的机构招募。其目标是促进基于AMSC领域特定项目活动的研究与本科教育的整合，并向REU学生展示如何将研究成果转化为现实世界的环境。REU学生将与教师导师密切合作，开展来自现实世界问题的前沿研究项目。参与者将在大学最先进的实验室和研究中心工作，并将与博士后学生、研究生和行业顾问进行互动。AMSC REU的学生还将参加专业发展机会，如研讨会、培训课程、研究报告和工厂参观。学生将接触到高质量的前沿研究，并将对就业机会有更大的认识，并为制造业和供应链的高级研究做好准备。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，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。

This new three-year REU project entitled REU Site in Advanced Manufacturing and Supply Chain (AMSC) at the University of Louisville will provide a 10-week summer experiential training for 8 undergraduate students each year. This site features research projects covering a broad spectrum of topics, all of which focus on matters of immediate and pressing issues in current and future manufacturing and supply chain. AMSC research is an evolving interdisciplinary domain at the intersection of engineering, business, and science. Today’s manufacturing and supply chain rely on advanced technology and require intensive skills that include simulation, automation, and computing. These techniques provide a platform for students to study and analyze AMSC systems, and in turn, investigate new research opportunities in science, engineering, and technology to improve such systems. The goal is to foster the integration of research into undergraduate education based on project-specific activities within the AMSC domain and demonstrate to the REU students how research outcomes can be translated to real-world settings.This new three-year REU project entitled REU Site in Advanced Manufacturing and Supply Chain (AMSC) at the University of Louisville will provide a 10-week summer experiential training. The AMSC REU site will host 8 students per year who will be recruited from minority-serving institutions and institutions with limited access to research facilities. The goal is to foster the integration of research into undergraduate education based on project-specific activities within the AMSC domain and demonstrate to the REU students how research outcomes can be translated to real-world settings. REU students will work closely with faculty mentors on cutting-edge research projects that are motivated from real world problems. The participants will work in state-of-the-art labs and research centers at the University and will also interact with post-doctoral students, graduate students, and industry advisors. The AMSC REU students will also participate in professional development opportunities such as workshops, training sessions, research presentations, and plant tours. Students will be exposed to high-quality, cutting-edge research and will develop greater awareness of career opportunities and be prepared for advanced studies in manufacturing and supply chain.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.
