This three year renewal REU Site program at Northwestern University(NU)in Nanoscale Science and Engineering will support a diverse group of ten undergraduates from colleges and universities around the country in meaningful hands-on nanoscale science and engineering focused research for a 9 week period over the summer. The program will be enhanced by educationl activities including technical writing and professional speaking workshops, an ethics seminar,weekly meetings/seminars,and a field trip to Argonne National Laboratory. At the close of the program, participants will have opportunities; to their enhanced skills to use at the Closing Symposium,and by writing and submitting a paper for possible publication in Nanoscape: The Journal for Undergraduate Research in Nanoscience or professional technical journals. The site program builds upon nine years of experience developing and providing meaningful hands-on research and educational opportunities for undergraduates from around the country through the NU Nanoscale Science and Engineering Center(NSEC).The program will empower a diverse group of students, enable them to complete a summer research project and prepare them for graduate education. Recruitment efforts will target underrepresented minorities and women. Already established partnerships, which have resulted in a highly diverse participant population in the past, will be continued for this program. These partnerships include, the Illinois Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (LSAMP), Chicago State University, and Harold Washington College. Additional program recruitment efforts include attendance at annual recruitment fairs and society conferences (e.g., The National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE), direct mailing of promotional posters to a list of 114 historically Black colleges around the country, and disseminating internet program announcements through the Society for Advancement of Chicanos and Native Americans (SACNAS), the American Indian Science and Engineering Society (AISES), the Society of Women Engineers (SWE), NSBE, Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE), Mexican-American Engineers Society (MAES), and the Association for Women in Science (AWIS). Results will be disseminated broadly through the Nanoscape journal and other professional publications. The inclusion of undergraduates in the nanoscience and engineering research at NU will help to advance the research to applications that have the potential to significantly benefit society.

这三年的纳米级科学和工程学的三年续约REU网站计划将在夏季在夏季为期9周的9周，在全国各地有意义的动手纳米级科学和工程研究中，来自全国各地的大学和大学的十个本科生组成的多样化。该计划将通过教育活动，包括技术写作和专业演讲研讨会，道德研讨会，每周会议/研讨会以及参加Argonne国家实验室的实地考察来增强该计划。在计划结束时，参与者将有机会；他们在关闭研讨会上使用的技能增强了，并通过撰写和提交一篇论文以在Nanoscape中发表：《纳米科学或专业技术期刊的本科研究杂志》。该网站计划建立在开发并为来自全国各地的本科生通过NU NANOSCALE科学与工程中心（NSEC）的本科生提供有意义的动手研究和教育机会的九年经验。该计划将赋予一群多样化的学生，使他们能够完成夏季研究项目并为研究生教育做好准备。招聘工作将针对代表性不足的少数民族和妇女。 该计划将继续进行，这已经建立了伙伴关系，这些伙伴关系已经导致了高度多样化的参与者。 这些伙伴关系包括伊利诺伊州路易斯·斯托克斯少数族裔参与联盟（LSAMP），芝加哥州立大学和哈罗德·华盛顿学院。 Additional program recruitment efforts include attendance at annual recruitment fairs and society conferences (e.g., The National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE), direct mailing of promotional posters to a list of 114 historically Black colleges around the country, and disseminating internet program announcements through the Society for Advancement of Chicanos and Native Americans (SACNAS), the American Indian Science and Engineering Society (AISES), the Society of Women Engineers (SWE), NSBE，西班牙裔专业工程师（SHPE），墨西哥裔美国人工程师协会（MAE）和妇女协会的科学协会（AWIS）将通过纳米级期刊和其他专业出版物进行广泛传播。
