This three year REU Site program at Drexel University will engage 10 undergraduate students for 9 weeks in interdisciplinary research in medicine, energy, and advanced manufacturing. The REU students will be part of a multi-institutional team, including a graduate student and faculty mentor from Drexel, a faculty mentor from the participant's home institution, a Drexel freshman from the Students Tackling Advanced Research (STAR) program, and a high school teacher in an NSF funded Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) program. Students will also attend weekly seminars on research, education, and ethics, present an educational module on their research to middle school students, visit local industry and national laboratories, and attend social and cultural events. The participants will keep photo journals of their experiences. These journals will enhance and reinforce research and social experiences, and provide a tool for program assessment. At the end of the summer program, participants will present their research results at a poster presentation and will be encouraged to submit their research at professional conferences. After the program, REU participants will be encouraged to remain in contact with their interdisciplinary team through a Facebook group. Travel grants will be provided if students need to use Drexel's facilities to produce additional data that could result in a presentation or publication.Recruitment efforts will be focused on minorities, women, and underrepresented groups, and those who do not have access to advanced research facilities at their educational institutions. The PIs will recruit from regional institutions such as Delaware State University, Cheney University, Lincoln University, Swarthmore College, West Chester University, Rowan University, Villanova University, Widener University, Community College of Philadelphia, Burlington County College and Camden County College. The PIs have established strong connections with faculty at these institutions. REU students will be encouraged to pursue graduate studies and careers in science and engineering."This REU site is co-funded by the Department of Defense in partnership with the NSF REU program."

德雷塞尔大学为期三年的 REU 现场项目将吸引 10 名本科生进行为期 9 周的医学、能源和先进制造领域的跨学科研究。 REU 学生将成为多机构团队的一员，其中包括德雷塞尔大学的一名研究生和教师导师、参与者所在机构的一名教师导师、来自学生高级研究 (STAR) 项目的德雷克塞尔大学新生以及一所高中NSF 资助的教师研究经验 (RET) 项目的教师。 学生还将参加每周一次的研究、教育和伦理研讨会，向中学生展示他们的研究教育模块，参观当地工业和国家实验室，并参加社会和文化活动。 参与者将用照片记录他们的经历。 这些期刊将增强和加强研究和社会经验，并提供项目评估工具。 在夏季课程结束时，参与者将在海报展示中展示他们的研究成果，并鼓励他们在专业会议上提交他们的研究成果。 项目结束后，REU 参与者将被鼓励通过 Facebook 群组与他们的跨学科团队保持联系。如果学生需要使用德雷克塞尔的设施来生成可能用于演示或出版的额外数据，我们将提供旅费补助。招聘工作将集中于少数族裔、女性和代表性不足的群体，以及那些无法使用先进研究设施的人在他们的教育机构。 PI 将从特拉华州立大学、切尼大学、林肯大学、斯沃斯莫尔学院、西切斯特大学、罗文大学、维拉诺瓦大学、维德恩大学、费城社区学院、伯灵顿县学院和卡姆登县学院等地区机构招募人员。 PI 与这些机构的教师建立了牢固的联系。 REU 学生将被鼓励在科学和工程领域攻读研究生和职业生涯。“该 REU 网站由国防部与 NSF REU 项目共同资助。”
