EEC-0552738 David A. DillardThis REU award for a Site on materials and processes for proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells supports 12 engineering and science students each year for three years in a 12-week research experience at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. The primary goal of this REU site is to nurture a diverse group of talented undergraduate students to develop an appreciation for research and scholarship, a broader base of knowledge, a better understanding of the research process, and a desire to contribute to advances in science and engineering through graduate research and professional careers.Students will be involved in research projects related to new fuel cell materials development; new methods for materials processing that yield high performance fuel cell assemblies; new techniques and theories for materials characterization; and new approaches for performance modeling that reveal the impact of materials and design on system performance. This program will build on Virginia Techs existing strengths in each of these research focus areas and their long history of successful REU programs which have engaged a large and diverse student population. The study of materials and processes for PEM fuel cells will offer an exceptional vehicle for introducing students to independent research, while exposing them to an important and rapidly developing technical field. This site is supported by the Department of Defense in partnership with the NSF REU program.

EEC-0552738 David A. Dillard 这个 REU 奖项授予质子交换膜 (PEM) 燃料电池材料和工艺网站，每年支持 12 名工程和科学学生在弗吉尼亚理工学院和州立大学进行为期 12 周的研究体验，为期三年。 REU 网站的主要目标是培养多元化的才华横溢的本科生，培养他们对研究和学术的鉴赏力、更广泛的知识基础、对研究过程的更好理解以及为科学和技术进步做出贡献的愿望。通过研究生研究和职业生涯进行工程学。学生将参与与新型燃料电池材料开发相关的研究项目；产生高性能燃料电池组件的材料加工新方法；材料表征新技术和理论；以及性能建模的新方法，揭示材料和设计对系统性能的影响。 该项目将建立在弗吉尼亚理工大学在每个研究重点领域的现有优势及其长期成功的 REU 项目的历史基础上，这些项目吸引了大量不同的学生群体。 PEM 燃料电池材料和工艺的研究将为学生引入独立研究提供一个特殊的工具，同时让他们接触一个重要且快速发展的技术领域。 该网站由国防部与 NSF REU 计划合作支持。
