9619715 Barnicki ABSTRACT This REU program, has several important objectives including a) exposing more undergraduate students - both external to MSOE and internal - to the fascinating technological opportunities made possible through Solid Freeform Fabrication, b) contributing real research results and publications in a field which vitally needs to understand and improve materials, processes and applications, c) examine opportunities in photonics, biomedicine and manufacturing and d) successful recruiting of women, minorities and disabled undergraduate students. In turn, this will significantly enhance these students' knowledge, experience, professional growth and confidence; it also is expected to be a major factor in their retention and has increased the likelihood of their going to graduate school. Undergraduate students will be recruited for both summer and academic year research, with target numbers of 3 during the academic year, growing to 8 during the summer, at least 30-40% being non-MSOE students during the summer. These students will work with other undergraduates and graduates in this vigorous and exciting Center of Excellence. To ensure the continual improvement of the REU program, a periodic evaluation effort will be carried out in two ways: a) self evaluation of project activities by the student participants in the REU program and b) evaluation by a team that will include faculty members associated with the REU projects. The project director will use these faculty researchers to ensure the success of the REU program. ***

9619715 Barnicki 摘要 该 REU 计划有几个重要目标，包括 a) 让更多的本科生（包括 MSOE 外部的学生和内部学生）接触到通过固体自由成型制造实现的迷人技术机会，b) 在某个领域贡献真实的研究成果和出版物迫切需要了解和改进材料、工艺和应用，c）研究光子学、生物医学和制造领域的机会，d）成功招收女性、少数族裔和残疾本科生。 反过来，这将显着增强这些学生的知识、经验、专业成长和信心；预计这也将成为他们保留的一个主要因素，并增加他们进入研究生院的可能性。 将招募本科生进行暑期研究和学年研究，学年期间的目标人数为 3 人，暑期期间增至 8 人，暑期期间至少 30-40% 是非 MSOE 学生。 这些学生将在这个充满活力和令人兴奋的卓越中心与其他本科生和研究生一起工作。 为了确保 REU 项目的持续改进，定期评估工作将通过两种方式进行：a) REU 项目的学生参与者对项目活动进行自我评估；b) 由相关教职人员组成的团队进行评估与 REU 项目。 项目总监将利用这些教员研究人员来确保 REU 项目的成功。 ***
