This three year REU Site program at the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC) will involve faculty in four departments of the College of Engineering, and the Departments of Physics and Chemistry in cooperation with industrial interest groups to address needs in the areas of nanotechnology, material sciences, bio and biomedical engineering. The goals of this REU Site program are to:1) introduce and engage 10 undergraduate students for 10 summer weeks each year with equipment and methods used in cutting-edge research, 2) improve technical communication skills; 3) foster understanding of the scientific method used in todays research; 4) direct and enhance the students' creativity and originality into novel systems of technology and experience the exciting rewards from successful research, and 5) expose them to multiple disciplines in research and help them understand the interactive roles in research.The students will participate in research in novel advanced material systems in engineering, experience theexcitement of doing state-of-the-art research, enhance written and oral technical communication skills, expand their creativity and originality into new areas of technology, develop into outstanding candidates for graduate programs, and promote interdisciplinary technical skills needed in the future engineering workplace. The program will also foster intellectual synergies between the REU participants and the cohort of teachers participating simultaneously in the Research Experiences for Teachers (RET)-Site Chicago Science Teacher Research (CSTR) Program.Participants will be recruited from regional community colleges, universities with high minority enrollments (i.e.,Chicago State and U. of Puerto Rico), and universities across the nation. The REU participants will expand their creativity and originality into new areas of technology, develop into outstanding candidates for graduate programs, and develop interdisciplinary technical skills needed in the future engineering workplace. Internal and external program evaluation and assessment will ensure the continued improvement and dissemination of program outcomes. Students will participate in a REU Annual Symposium at the end of the year, submit final reports to the UIC Journal of Undergraduate Research, and attend site visits to industrial partners and national labs.The site is co-funded by the Department of Defense in partnership with the NSF REU program.

伊利诺伊大学芝加哥大学（UIC）的三年REU现场计划将涉及工程学院四个系的教职员工，以及与工业利益集团合作的物理和化学系，以满足纳米技术，材料科学，生物科学，生物和生物医学工程领域的需求。该REU网站计划的目标是：1）每年使用用于尖端研究的设备和方法，介绍并与10个夏季学生介绍并聘请10个夏季的本科生，2）提高技术沟通技巧； 3）促进对当今研究中使用的科学方法的理解； 4）直接和增强学生的创造力和独创性为新颖的技术系统，并从成功研究中体验令人兴奋的奖励； 5）将他们暴露于研究中的多个学科，并帮助他们了解研究中的互动作用。学生将参与新的高级材料系统中的研究中的研究，从而在工程学中参与研究，体验他们的界限，以提高良好的技术，并将其发展为新的技术，并将其发展为新的技术，并将其发展为新的技术，并开展了新的技术，并开展了新的技术，并开展了新的技术，并将其开展成果计划，并促进未来工程工作场所所需的跨学科技术技能。该计划还将促进REU参与者与同时参与教师研究经验（RET） - 芝加哥科学教师研究（CSTR）计划的教师之间的智力协同作用。参与者将从少数群体注册的地区社区学院招募，即芝加哥州立大学和U. of of of of of of of of of of of of of of of of of of of of of of of of of of of of oferto ricic， REU参与者将将其创造力和独创性扩展到技术的新领域，发展成为研究生课程的杰出候选人，并发展未来工程工作场所所需的跨学科技术技能。 内部和外部计划评估和评估将确保持续改进和传播计划成果。 学生将在年底参加REU年度研讨会，向UIC本科研究杂志提交最终报告，并参加对工业合作伙伴和国家实验室的现场访问。该地点由国防部与NSF REU计划合作共同资助。
