The Engineering Research Center for Re-Inventing the Nation's Urban Water Infrastructure (ReNUWIt) was funded in 2011 to facilitate the transition of water systems to a new state in which they consume less energy and resources while continuing to meet the needs of urban users and aquatic ecosystems. This Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site will provide an enhanced, cohesive program to a cohort of undergraduates each summer and will target highly qualified science and engineering students from diverse backgrounds with an emphasis on women and minorities. The student-learning outcomes of the project focus on engaging and creating enthusiasm for science and engineering. The test-bed facilities provide ample opportunities for hands-on experience in multidisciplinary research activities at the four geographically and ethnically diverse institutions. ReNUWIt post-docs and graduate students will gain mentoring experiences in working closely with REU participants. Research communication skills of REU participants will improve through report writing, poster preparation, roundtables, and seminar presentations. This REU Site is supported by the Division of Engineering Education and Centers.

重塑国家城市供水基础设施工程研究中心 (ReNUWIt) 于 2011 年获得资助，旨在促进供水系统过渡到消耗更少能源和资源的新状态，同时继续满足城市用户和水生动物的需求。生态系统。该本科生研究体验 (REU) 网站将在每年夏天为一批本科生提供增强的、有凝聚力的项目，并将针对来自不同背景的高素质科学和工程学生，重点关注女性和少数族裔。该项目的学生学习成果侧重于吸引和创造对科学和工程的热情。试验台设施为四个不同地域和种族的机构的多学科研究活动的实践经验提供了充足的机会。 ReNUWIt 博士后和研究生将在与 REU 参与者密切合作中获得指导经验。 REU 参与者的研究沟通技巧将通过报告撰写、海报准备、圆桌会议和研讨会演示来提高。该 REU 网站由工程教育和中心部门支持。
