This three year REU Site program at the University of Illinois at Chicago will engage eleven undergraduate students each summer in cutting-edge research projects in novel advanced materials systems in engineering. Specific projects will include independent research in materials science, bioengineering, biomedical engineering and nanotechnology. The participants' research experience will be broadened by their participation in the following complementary program activities: 1) oral communication and technical writing seminars; 2) tutorials on experimental design and safety engineering; and 3) introductions to recent developments and state-of-the-art science and technology. Students will be recruited from regional community colleges, universities with high minority enrollments (i.e. Chicago State and the University of Puerto Rico) and universities across the nation. The program aims to have 80% participation from students belonging to underrepresented groups and minorities. This REU program will expand participants' creativity, motivate them to consider graduate programs and promote interdisciplinary technical skills needed in the future engineering workplace."This site is co-funded by the Department of Defense in partnership with the NSF REU program."

伊利诺伊大学芝加哥大学的三年REU网站计划每年夏天将与11名本科生与工程新型高级材料系统的尖端研究项目。 特定项目将包括材料科学，生物工程，生物医学工程和纳米技术方面的独立研究。参与者的研究经验将通过参与以下补充计划活动来扩大：1）口头交流和技术写作研讨会； 2）有关实验设计和安全工程的教程； 3）介绍最近的发展和最先进的科学技术。学生将从地区社区学院，少数群体入学率（即芝加哥州和波多黎各大学）和全国大学的大学招募。 该计划旨在使属于代表性不足的团体和少数群体的学生参与80％的参与。该REU计划将扩大参与者的创造力，激励他们考虑研究生课程并促进未来工程工作场所所需的跨学科技术技能。“该网站由国防部与NSF REU计划合作共同资助。”
