This three year renewal REU Site program at Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE) will engage undergraduate students over ten weeks in research in a wide range of micro-manufacturing and additive manufacturing applications at MSOE's Centers for Excellence. Typical projects will mesh the fields of biology, chemistry, and medicine with mechanical, manufacturing, biomedical, electrical, computer and architectural engineering disciplines. The overall objectives of the REU Site program are to: 1) provide integrated research opportunities for technically diverse groups of undergraduate students to experience the growing technological trends and opportunities in additive manufacturing (AM) leading to newly created, complex and miniature structures and models; 2) develop interdisciplinary approaches through research and development in AM with applications to biomedical, cellular, biomolecular, mechanical and other related science and engineering fields; 3) continue to foster diversity by recruiting of minorities, women, and students with disabilities; enabling them to become professional graduates with exceptional capabilities; 4) provide participants with service learning opportunities with high school students and teachers that will be on the MSOE campus in summer leading to sustained K-12 outreach; and 5) contribute real-world results and publications from their research projects in conjunction with faculty and industry collaborators.In addition to their research projects, the students will participate in interdisciplinary group sessions and seminars,facility tours including a visit to a graduate school, powerpoint presentations, posters, and writing of research papers. At the end of the summer, students will present their research through final oral presentations and poster presentations before a wide MSOE audience and family and friends. Recruitment efforts will be targeted to first-generation and traditionally underrepresented students nationwide, especially from second tier non Ph.D. granting institutions. Historically Black Colleges and Universities and other minority institutions will specifically be targeted to ensure 25% minority participation. Undergraduate students who participate in this REU program will be motivated to pursue graduate education. With many high school teachers and students interacting on MSOE campus through K-12 outreach by the Project Lead the Way and the Center for Biomolecular Modeling activities, REU participants will have the unique opportunity to extend their research to include service to the K-12 schools while in the program. The participants will be able to make a case for their research serving the community at-large. They will also explore how their research can be shared with school children to make an impact on childrens pursuit of science and technology. The REU final research papers and the DVD of final oral presentations will be made available to the MSOE library and the MSOE Rapid Prototyping library for all MSOE students and faculty to use in their courses. Research papers will be available on the REU website. All the participants will present their research work at a national conference such as the National Conference on Undergraduate Research and publish their papers in its proceedings.

密尔沃基工程学院 (MSOE) 的这一为期三年的 REU 站点更新项目将让本科生在 MSOE 卓越中心进行为期十周的各种微制造和增材制造应用的研究。 典型的项目将生物学、化学和医学领域与机械、制造、生物医学、电气、计算机和建筑工程学科相结合。 REU Site 项目的总体目标是： 1) 为技术多样化的本科生群体提供综合研究机会，体验增材制造 (AM) 不断增长的技术趋势和机会，从而创造出新的、复杂的微型结构和模型； 2）通过增材制造的研究和开发，开发跨学科方法，并将其应用于生物医学、细胞、生物分子、机械和其他相关科学和工程领域； 3) 继续通过招收少数族裔、妇女和残疾学生来促进多样性；使他们成为具有卓越能力的专业毕业生； 4) 为参与者提供夏季在 MSOE 校园内与高中学生和教师一起进行服务学习的机会，从而实现持续的 K-12 推广； 5) 与教师和行业合作者一起贡献研究项目的真实成果和出版物。除了研究项目外，学生还将参加跨学科小组会议和研讨会、设施参观，包括参观研究生院， Powerpoint 演示、海报和研究论文的写作。 夏季结束时，学生将通过最终口头报告和海报展示的方式向广大 MSOE 观众以及家人和朋友展示他们的研究成果。 招聘工作将针对全国范围内传统上代表性不足的第一代学生，特别是来自二线非博士生。授予机构。历史上，黑人学院和大学以及其他少数族裔机构将专门针对确保 25% 的少数族裔参与。参加 REU 项目的本科生将有动力继续研究生教育。许多高中教师和学生通过“引领之路”项目和生物分子建模中心的 K-12 外展活动在 MSOE 校园进行互动，REU 参与者将有独特的机会扩展他们的研究范围，包括为 K-12 学校提供服务在节目中的时候。参与者将能够证明他们的研究为整个社区服务。他们还将探索如何与学童分享他们的研究成果，以影响儿童对科学技术的追求。 REU 最终研究论文和最终口头报告的 DVD 将提供给 MSOE 图书馆和 MSOE 快速原型库，供所有 MSOE 学生和教师在课程中使用。研究论文将在 REU 网站上发布。 所有参与者都将在全国本科生研究会议等全国性会议上展示他们的研究工作，并在其会议记录中发表论文。
