EEC-0649070Tamim YounosThe award provides support for a three-year REU Site at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. The REU program will provide an interdisciplinary forum of faculty and students to train future professionals on critical elements of water-based approach to sustainable management of water resources. The activities of the REU Site will include: 1) introduce participants to advanced research topics in an interdisciplinary environment; 2) provide students opportunities to acquire advanced laboratory, field measurement, analytical, and computational skills; 3) stimulate scientific curiosity of participants so that they may pursue an advanced degree in watershed sciences and engineering; and 4) facilitate an environment for intellectual and personal interaction of different academic, social and cultural backgrounds to promote diversity.This program will facilitate life long learning experiences, and nourish analytical skills and creativity of future engineers and scientist in a diverse environment. Also, it is expected to expand the potential pool of future graduate researchers and professionals in watershed sciences and engineering. At least 60% of the target REU participants will be students who are underrepresented in the areas of watershed sciences and engineering due to their race, ethnicity, gender, financial resources, parent's educational level, and those from smaller colleges/universities who have few research opportunities at their home institutions.

EEC-0649070Tamim Younos 该奖项为弗吉尼亚理工学院和州立大学为期三年的 REU 站点提供支持。 REU 项目将为教师和学生提供一个跨学科论坛，以培训未来的专业人员，了解以水为基础的水资源可持续管理方法的关键要素。 REU 站点的活动将包括： 1) 向参与者介绍跨学科环境中的高级研究主题； 2）为学生提供获得先进的实验室、现场测量、分析和计算技能的机会； 3）激发参与者的科学好奇心，使他们能够攻读流域科学与工程的高级学位； 4）促进不同学术、社会和文化背景的智力和个人互动的环境，以促进多样性。该计划将促进终身学习经验，并在多元化的环境中培养未来工程师和科学家的分析技能和创造力。此外，预计还将扩大流域科学与工程领域未来研究生研究人员和专业人员的潜在人才库。 至少 60% 的 REU 目标参与者将是由于种族、民族、性别、经济资源、父母教育水平而在分水岭科学和工程领域代表性不足的学生，以及来自研究较少的小型学院/大学的学生在本国机构的机会。
