This three year REU Site on Multifunctional Materials Systems at Texas A&M University will focus on the engineering science of multiscale fabrication, characterization, modeling and simulation of advanced structural materials for improved mechanical, electrical, thermal, optical, electromagnetic functionalities, and overall actuating or sensing capabilities. The three main objectives of the program are: 1) to emphasize multifunctional materials research across multiple disciplines and application for a variety of engineering systems; 2) to conduct research at the nano-level with an appreciation of its impact at the system design level and for designers to consider the impact nanotechnology could have on their component and system designs; and 3) to expose students to the concepts of technology innovation for emerging functional engineering systems. The REU students will be mentored by faculty from the departments of aerospace engineering, chemical engineering, and mechanical engineering and graduate students, and post doctoral researchers. During the REU summer program students will have the opportunity to interact with high school mathematics and science teachers who will be participating in a companion Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) program.In addition to the research activities, the REU participants will attend weekly workshops on ethics in research, report writing, presentation skills, and on the graduate school application and funding processes. The students will be required to make formal mid-program progress reports to the PIs, faculty advisors and their peers. Finally, at the end of the summer students will present an oral multimedia or poster presentation of their research.What are the broader impacts of the proposed activity?Recruitment for this REU program will have a special focus on recruiting students from Grambling State University, Prairie View A&M University, North Carolina A&T University, Southern University at Baton Rouge, Tuskegee University, and University of Texas at El Paso and Texas State University at San Marcos. The goal is to have outstanding undergraduate students majoring in the engineering, physical sciences, computer science, or mathematics disciplines participating in this REU Site program. The program will provide the students with a world view of advanced materials research through seminars given by national and international leaders, as well as opportunities for extended research internships or visits to national facilities and international experiences."This REU Site is co-funded by the Department of Defense in partnership with the NSF REU program."

德克萨斯A＆M大学多功能材料系统的三年REU站点将重点关注高级结构材料的多尺度制造，表征，建模和模拟的工程科学，以改善机械，电气，热，光学，电磁功能以及整体致动或感应功能。该计划的三个主要目标是：1）强调跨多个学科的多功能材料研究，并应用于各种工程系统； 2）在纳米级进行研究，并欣赏其在系统设计层面上的影响，并让设计师考虑纳米技术对其组件和系统设计的影响； 3）使学生了解新兴功能工程系统的技术创新概念。 REU学生将受到航空工程，化学工程和机械工程和研究生的教职员工的指导，以及博士后研究人员。在REU夏季课程中，学生将有机会与高中数学和科学老师进行互动，他们将参加教师（RET）计划的伴侣研究经验。除了研究活动外，REU参与者将每周参加有关研究，报告写作，演讲技能以及研究生院申请和研究生院申请和资金流程的每周伦理学研讨会。将要求学生向PIS，教职顾问及其同龄人进行正式的中期进度报告。 最后，在夏季结束时，他们的研究将介绍口头多媒体或海报介绍。拟议活动的更广泛影响？该课程的招聘将特别关注Grambling州立大学的招聘学生，Prairie View A＆M University，North Carolina A＆t北卡罗莱纳大学A＆M University，North Carolina A＆t Stouge University at Texske and Texske and Texske and texske and texske and tex use and tex usske and tex usske and tex use and tex usske and p.马科斯。 目的是让工程学，物理科学，计算机科学或数学学科主修的杰出本科生参加此REU网站计划。该计划将通过国家和国际领导人提供的研讨会为学生提供高级材料研究的观点，以及进行扩展的研究实习或访问国家设施和国际经验的机会。“此REU网站由国防部与NSF REU计划合作共同资助。”
