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本科生研究经验项目 (REU) 为期三年更新，为不同群体的学生提供跨学科研究经验，开展跨学科环境中水资源可持续管理的项目。该更新计划的新特点包括印度的国际组成部分以及一些 REU 学者与 VT RET Site 参与者的合作。该站点将扩大未来水科学研究人员的队伍，他们将解决美国工程院 (NAE) 的重大挑战之一（即提供清洁水）。 VT 将接待 10 名 REU 学者，为期 10 周的夏季课程，为他们提供高质量的学习环境：1）激发他们对跨学科水研究的科学好奇心，并激励他们攻读水科学和工程学的高级学位； 2) 培训他们通过研究论文、研讨会和演讲交流科学信息； 3) 促进他们的社交、智力和职业发展。来自不同学科的 12 名教师导师将指导 REU 学者的研究。
