EEC-0648781Alan RussellThe Pittsburgh Tissue Engineering Initiative (PTEI) REU Site will support 10 undergraduates each year for three years. . PTEI has been at the forefront of structural tissue engineering (TE) research for more that a decade and is recognized as a model center regionally, nationally, and internationally. The primary goal of this program is to expose under-served and underrepresented minorities, as well as students from 2 year and primarily undergraduate institutions to collaborative, interdisciplinary research with a focus on bioengineering and biomechanics in structural tissue engineering (TE), the specialty of PTEI.The undergraduates will be provided a fundamental understanding of underlying biological and engineering principles of structural tissue engineering, with hands-on, independent research experiences filling the gap between academic understanding and real-life application. Participants will also be engaged in non-research activities, providing forums to discuss implications of engineering and scientific advances to the larger society, while fostering networking with other students, engineers, scientist, educators and businessmen. The undergraduate students who participate in this program will be motivated to pursue advanced engineering and science degrees. Research outcomes will be disseminated via presentations at professional meetings, local conferences, and publications.

EEC-0648781Alan Russell 匹兹堡组织工程倡议 (PTEI) REU 站点将在三年内每年支持 10 名本科生。 。十多年来，PTEI 一直处于结构组织工程 (TE) 研究的前沿，并被公认为地区、国家和国际的模范中心。该项目的主要目标是让服务不足和代表性不足的少数族裔以及来自两年制大学和本科院校的学生参与跨学科合作研究，重点关注结构组织工程 (TE) 中的生物工程和生物力学，这是PTEI。本科生将获得对结构组织工程的基本生物和工程原理的基本了解，并通过实践、独立的研究经验填补学术理解和现实应用之间的差距。 参与者还将参与非研究活动，提供论坛来讨论工程和科学进步对更大社会的影响，同时促进与其他学生、工程师、科学家、教育工作者和商人的联系。 参与该计划的本科生将有动力攻读高级工程和科学学位。 研究成果将通过在专业会议、当地会议和出版物上的演讲来传播。
