ID: 1359351 PI: Yodh, Arjun ORG: University of PennsylvaniaTitle: REU Site: Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Site TECHNICAL DESCRIPTIONThe objective of the proposed REU Site program is to provide a diverse group of 10 STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) undergraduates with hands-on experience in materials research. Student participants will be hosted by the Laboratory for Research on the Structure of Matter (LRSM) at the University of Pennsylvania (Penn) for 10 weeks during the summer. The intellectual focus of the program will be to introduce students to materials research as a cohesive subject of study. This objective will be achieved by incorporating the student participants into active research groups of faculty affiliated with the LRSM, which has a tradition of excellence in interdisciplinary materials research. The program will expose students to the different areas of research that comprise the basic framework of a modern materials program. Importantly, students also receive a series of lectures on research ethics, laboratory safety, and the fundamentals of materials science. Participants will be able to present their research findings both orally and in a written report, sometimes leading to publication in the scientific literature. The LRSM has 25 years of experience in organizing REU programs. These are currently operated in conjunction with the REU component of an NSF Materials Research Science and Engineering Center (MRSEC) that is hosted by the LRSM. NON-TECHNICAL DESCRIPTIONProgram recruitment will target a diverse group of participants from a broad spectrum of colleges throughout the nation, especially minority-serving and small colleges without research capabilities. The breadth of materials topics covered in the LRSM research portfolio permits students from different disciplines to interact and appreciate applications of materials research in engineering, medicine, industry, and commerce. Approximately 85% of the REU Site participants go on to graduate STEM programs or to professional schools, with the remainder going to industry and other sectors. The combined base of 20-25 students from the REU Site and MRSEC REU provides for a comprehensive experience that enables clusters of students working in similar areas to interact and support one another; it also enables clusters of students in underrepresented groups to share experiences and mutual support. Thus, the LRSM REU programs develop human resources that enhance our nation's technology base and are critical for the well-being of society at-large.

ID：1359351 PI：Yodh，Arjun Org：宾夕法尼亚大学大学：REU网站：本科生的研究经验（REU）网站网站技术描述拟议的REU网站计划的目标是为10个STEM（科学，技术，技术，工程学和数学）提供多样化的小组，该小组由材料研究中的材料研究。 学生参与者将由宾夕法尼亚大学（PENN）（宾夕法尼亚大学）的物质结构研究实验室主持10周。 该计划的智力重点将是向学生介绍材料研究，这是一个凝聚力的研究主题。 将通过将学生参与者纳入与LRSM相关的主动研究小组中来实现这一目标，LRSM具有卓越的跨学科材料研究传统。 该计划将使学生接触到构成现代材料计划基本框架的不同研究领域。 重要的是，学生还将获得有关研究伦理，实验室安全和材料科学基础知识的一系列讲座。 参与者将能够在口头和书面报告中介绍他们的研究结果，有时会导致科学文献发表。 LRSM在组织REU计划方面有25年的经验。 这些目前与LRSM托管的NSF材料研究科学与工程中心（MRSEC）的REU组成部分一起运行。非技术描述招聘将针对来自全国各地大学的各种各样的参与者，尤其是少数民族服务和没有研究能力的小型大学。 LRSM研究组合中涵盖的材料主题广度允许不同学科的学生进行互动和欣赏材料研究在工程，医学，工业和商业中的应用。 大约85％的REU网站参与者继续从事研究生STEM课程或专业学校，其余的则进入行业和其他领域。来自REU网站和MRSEC REU的20-25名学生的合并基础提供了一项全面的体验，使在类似领域工作的学生集群相互互动和支持；它还使代表性不足的群体中的学生集群能够分享经验和相互支持。因此，LRSM REU计划开发了人力资源，从而增强了我们国家的技术基础，并且对于社会的福祉至关重要。
