This three year renewal of a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site Program, Interdisciplinary Water Science and Engineering, at Virginia Tech, offers an interdisciplinary research experience to a diverse cohort of students on projects leading to sustainable management of water resources in an interdisciplinary environment. New features of this renewal program include an international component in India and collaboration of some of the REU scholars with VT RET Site participants. The Site will expand the pool of future researchers in water science who will address one of the National Academy of Engineering (NAE) Grand Challenges, (i.e. provide access to clean water). VT will host 10 REU scholars over a 10-week summer program where they will be provided with a high-quality learning environment that: 1) stimulates their scientific curiosity in interdisciplinary water research and motivates them to pursue advanced degrees in water sciences and engineering; 2) trains them to communicate scientific information through research papers, seminars, and presentations; and 3) facilitates their social, intellectual, and professional growth. Twelve faculty mentors from diverse academic disciplines will direct REU scholars research.

弗吉尼亚理工大学跨学科水科学与工程学的本科生（REU）现场计划的研究经验续签了这三年，为各种各样的学生提供了跨学科的研究经验，以实现跨学科环境中水资源的可持续管理。该更新计划的新功能包括印度的国际组成部分以及一些REU学者与VT RET网站参与者的合作。该网站将扩大水科学研究人员的库，这些研究人员将针对国家工程学院（NAE）的一项挑战（即提供清洁水的通道）。 VT将在为期10周的夏季计划中举办10个REU学者，在该计划中，他们将获得高质量的学习环境：1）刺激他们在跨学科水研究中的科学好奇心，并激励他们在水科学和工程学中追求高级学位； 2）训练他们通过研究论文，研讨会和演讲来传达科学信息； 3）促进他们的社会，知识和专业成长。来自不同学科的12位教师导师将指导REU学者研究。
