In this REU Site program, 12 undergraduate engineering students will participate in research projects in the laboratories of members of the Biomedical Engineering Department. Opportunities are available for research on biomedical instrumentation, sensors, prosthetics, biomaterials, neurophysiology, and neural modelling, cardiovalsular physiology and modelling, mathematical modelling, and membrane and cellular physiology. Students will be selected for the program on the basis of their experience, the benefit to be derived from participation and a brief proposal. Participants will work under the day-to-day supervision of faculty members on research projects which the students have developed under the guidance of a faculty mentor. Students will discuss their research projects in a weekly seminar series which will give students experience in presenting research plans and results and in discussing their work with their peers. A limited number of students will be able to present results of their projects at national meetings. Examples of research and laboratory experiences that will involve the student in the following projects: (1) basic and applied research on the processing of speech by ear, eyes, and haptic (cutaneous and positional) senses, (2) polymer-based, ion- selective electrode technology for biological sensors, (3) representation of the acoustic environment and the information processing of the auditory nervous system, and (4) the investigation of the cellular basis for the electrical and mechanical properties of the heart.

在这个 REU Site 项目中，12 名工程本科生将参与生物医学工程系成员实验室的研究项目。 有机会进行生物医学仪器、传感器、假肢、生物材料、神经生理学和神经建模、心血管生理学和建模、数学建模以及膜和细胞生理学的研究。 将根据学生的经验、参与的收益和简短的建议来选择学生参加该项目。 参与者将在教师的日常监督下开展学生在教师导师的指导下开发的研究项目。 学生将在每周一次的研讨会系列中讨论他们的研究项目，这将使学生有展示研究计划和结果以及与同行讨论他们的工作的经验。 有限数量的学生将能够在全国会议上展示他们的项目成果。 学生参与以下项目的研究和实验室经验示例：(1) 耳、眼和触觉（皮肤和位置）语音处理的基础和应用研究，(2) 基于聚合物的离子- 用于生物传感器的选择性电极技术，（3）声学环境的表示和听觉神经系统的信息处理，以及（4）心脏电学和机械特性的细胞基础的研究。
