Abstract for Takoudis, EEC-0453432:This REU site in Novel Materials and Processing in Chemical and Biomedical Engineering supports a total of twelve undergraduate students annually for three years in the Departments of Chemical, Mechanical and Bio-Engineering at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC). Students are recruited from regional community colleges, universities with high minority enrollments (e.g.., Chicago State and U. of Puerto Rico), other universities across the nation, and UIC for 10-week summer research projects. The target is to accommodate at least 80% of the students from underrepresented groups.The foci of this REU site are new materials, novel thin films, design methodologies, biomaterials and bioengineering processes, and characterization techniques that reveal the process-structure-functionality interrelationships of novel materials with their processing in the chemical and biomedical engineering disciplines. Specific projects include product and process engineering for biomedical applications, atomic-scale investigations of nanostructures, experimental investigation of fluid behavior in nanochannels, biological surface modification for implantable medical devices, micropatterned substrates for controlling growth and neurite extension of retinal neurons, and novel catalytic materials. The objectives of this REU program are to introduce students to independent research in novel materials and their processing, to develop and enhance the students' creativity and originality, to develop outstanding candidates for graduate programs, to demonstrate the excitement of doing original research, and to promote the development of interdisciplinary skills needed in the engineering workplace of the future.This project is anticipated to have a broad impact on novel materials and processing in biomedical and chemical engineering as well as on the development of human resources. The REU site places emphasis on (i) oral communication and technical writing skills through 4 bi-weekly brief research progress reports as well as a final oral presentation and written report, (ii) skills in experimental design and safety engineering through tutorials and seminars, (iii) engineering ethics through a workshop, seminar, and a three-hour tutorial series, and (iv) introduction to several areas of novel materials and processing. The social program of the REU site includes unstructured social gatherings after the weekly group meetings, tours of regional research/industrial facilities (i.e., BP,Motorola, Argonne National Lab, Abbott Labs, American Air Liquide, Fermi Lab, and UOP), picnics and cookouts, group outings to Cubs and White Sox baseball games, and a Lake Michigan ship tour.This site is supported by the Department of Defense in partnership with the NSF REU program.

Takoudis的摘要，EEC-0453432：化学与生物医学工程的新型材料和加工中的REU站点每年在伊利诺伊州芝加哥大学（UIC）的化学，机械和生物工程学系中，每年在化学，机械和生物工程学系总共支持十二名本科生。学生是从地区社区学院，少数群体入学率的大学（例如芝加哥州和波多黎各大学），全国其他大学的其他大学招募的，以及为期10周的夏季研究项目的UIC。 其目标是容纳至少80％的来自代表性不足的群体的学生。该REU站点的焦点是新材料，新颖的薄膜，设计方法论，生物材料和生物工程工艺以及表征技术，这些技术揭示了过程结构结构函数的相互关系的新颖材料，并在化学和双重培训中进行了新颖的材料。特定的项目包括用于生物医学应用的产品和工艺工程，纳米结构的原子尺度研究，纳米通道中流体行为的实验研究，可植入医疗设备的生物表面修饰，微型图案基质，控制型视网膜神经元的生长和神经元扩展以及新型催化材料。该REU计划的目标是向学生介绍新型材料及其处理，发展和增强学生的创造力和独创性，开发出色的研究生课程的候选人，以证明进行原始研究的兴奋，并促进跨学科技能的发展，并在工程上的开发以及在化学材料上及时促进材料，并在化学上促进了材料，并在化学上促进了材料，并促进了对人类的开发，并促进了跨学科技能的发展。 资源。 REU网站通过4个每两周简要的研究进度报告以及最终的口头介绍和书面报告，（ii）通过教程和研讨会（III）通过研讨会，研讨会，三个小时的材料和几个材料的工程和几个小说的工程和几个材料和几个材料的工程和几个小说，重点介绍了（i）口头沟通和技术写作技巧，以及最终的口头介绍和书面报告，（ii）实验设计和安全工程的技能。 REU网站的社会计划包括每周小组会议之后的非结构化社交聚会，区域研究/工业设施参观（即BP，Motorola，Motorola，Argonne National Lab，Abbott Labs，Abbott Labs，American Air Liquide，Fermi Lab和UOP），Fermi Lab和UOP），野餐和野餐和烹饪部门，与Cubs和White Sox Baseball ship。使用NSF REU计划。
