This award, jointly funded by the Division of Materials Research and Chemistry a the National Science Foundation, supports the continuation of the Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Site program at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale. The REU Site program supports 14 undergraduates for 10 weeks each summer during 2009 to 2011. Participating REU students work on interdisciplinary projects in materials research with close guidance from faculty mentors in Chemistry, Physics and/or Engineering departments. The interdisciplinary environment encourages the REU students to think about their respective projects in broad terms and to consider applications of their research to new technologies and issues relating to manufacturing of new devices. REU students have the opportunity to present their research to a diverse audience across disciplines during the program and at the end-of-program poster presentation as well as in regional and national conferences. Opportunities to network with peers, faculty mentors, and other scientists and engineers are provided through evening and week-end social and cultural activities included in the program. Students are recruited nationally, with particular emphasis on students from groups underrepresented in science and engineering, as well as socio-economically disadvantaged and first-generation college students. The goals of the REU site include: 1) creating a positive image of science and engineering as a career choice; 2) providing a nurturing research environment; 3) improving the participants' communication skills; 4) teaching basic research tools (including modern instrumentation); 5) fostering collaborative research; and 6) increasing the number of domestic students, especially those from underrepresented groups, who choose careers in science and engineering.

该奖项由材料研究与化学系共同资助。国家科学基金会（National Science Foundation）支持在卡宾代尔（Carbondale）南伊利诺伊大学（Southern Illinois University）的本科生研究经验（REU）现场计划。 REU网站计划每年夏天在2009年至2011年期间为14个本科生提供10周的本科生。参与REU学生在材料研究中从事跨学科项目的工作，并在化学，物理和/或工程部门的教师指导的密切指导下。跨学科的环境鼓励REU学生以广泛的方式思考各自的项目，并考虑其研究对新技术的应用以及与新设备制造有关的问题。 REU学生有机会在该计划期间，截止日期发布者以及区域和民族会议上向各个学科的不同受众展示他们的研究。 该计划包括在晚上和周末的社会和文化活动中提供与同行，教师导师以及其他科学家和工程师建立联系的机会。在全国范围内招募学生，特别是来自科学和工程领域人数不足的学生，以及社会经济上的处于弱势群体和第一代大学生。 REU网站的目标包括：1）创建科学和工程学作为职业选择的积极形象； 2）提供培养的研究环境； 3）提高参与者的沟通技巧； 4）教基础研究工具（包括现代仪器）； 5）促进协作研究； 6）增加了家庭学生的数量，尤其是那些选择科学和工程职业的人数不足。
