REU Site: Aquatic Sciences, Engineering, and Technology (ASET) REU at Clarkson University

位于纽约波茨坦的克拉克森大学（Clarkson University）将举办一个名为“水生科学、工程和技术”（ASET）的本科生研究体验项目（REU）。该项目将在2023-2025年的夏季每年夏天将10名本科生带到克拉克森进行为期10周的研究体验。ASET将重点关注大湖-圣。劳伦斯河流域环境研究。REU实习生将有机会在1)水生自然科学，2)水生可持续性科学和3)水生资源工程的广泛类别中组织一系列学科进行研究。ASET学者的研究经验将通过培训，研究，研讨会，专业发展和社会活动，通过综合学习社区解决水产自然和可持续发展科学与工程领域的高需求和新兴领域。该项目包括强调五大湖的土著传统生态知识。劳伦斯河。学生招聘将发展出在观点、学科和人口统计学上多样化的群体。该计划的目标是：1)培养学者的研究经验；2)建立一个多元化、支持性和包容性的学习社区；3)加强学者对传播产品的创作和评价能力；4)培养学者在研究中对伦理和法律方面的评价；5)验证学者的学术路径，并促进他们在stem相关领域的学位完成；6)鼓励学者选择从事STEM领域的职业。ASET将让学生接触到广泛的水生科学、工程和技术主题，为学生提供在研究环境中接触深入的学科视角，同时让他们沉浸在一个包容性的跨学科和跨学科的学习环境中。学生将有机会与教师一起进行研究，他们的工作重点是生物分析化学、电化学、生物传感和环境纳米技术等主题；利用探地雷达、电阻率和地震反射进行景观测绘；五大湖中新出现的污染物的命运和迁移；生态水力学，有害藻类繁殖在水生系统，以及其他水生科学相关的主题。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。

Clarkson University in Potsdam, New York will host a new Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program called Aquatic Science, Engineering, and Technology (ASET). The program will bring ten undergraduates to Clarkson each summer for a ten-week research experience during the summers of 2023-2025. ASET will focus on the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence River watershed environmental research. REU interns will have opportunities to conduct research in a range of disciplines organized in broad categories of 1) Aquatic Natural Sciences, 2) Aquatic Sustainability Sciences and 3) Aquatic Resource Engineering. The ASET Scholars’ research experiences will address high-need and emerging areas in aquatic natural and sustainability sciences and engineering with an integrative learning community through training, research, seminars, professional development, and social activities. The program includes a programmatic emphasis on Indigenous Traditional Ecological Knowledge of the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence River. Student recruitment will develop cohorts that are diverse in perspective, discipline, and demographics. The program goals are to 1) develop a Scholar’s research experience; 2) develop a diverse, supportive, and inclusive learning community; 3) strengthen Scholars’ skills to create and evaluate communication products; 4) foster Scholars’ evaluation of the ethical and legal aspects in research; 5) validate the Scholars' academic path and facilitate degree completion in a STEM-related field; and 6) encourage Scholars to choose a career in STEM in aquatics.ASET will expose students to a broad spectrum of aquatic sciences, engineering, and technology topics providing students with exposure to deep disciplinary perspectives in a research environment, while immersing them in an inclusive interdisciplinary and trans-disciplinary learning environment. Students will have the opportunity to conduct research with faculty whose work focuses on topics such as bioanalytical chemistry, electrochemistry, biosensing and environmental nanotechnology; mapping landscapes with ground penetrating radar, electrical resistivity and seismic reflection; the fate and transport of emerging contaminants in the Great Lakes; ecohydraulics, harmful algae blooms in aquatic systems, as well as other aquatic science related topics.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.
