This Research Experiences for Undergraduates Site in Chemical Engineering at Pennsylvania State wUniversity ill provide a talented and diverse group of undergraduate students an opportunity to perform research focused on biology and materials. Research integrating the life sciences and materials will lead to advancements in sensors, water purification, energy production, food production, drug design and purification, and tissue engineering. The integrative program will bridge knowledge from multiple disciplines, including the arts and technology, within the broader research experience with the goal of preparing students to be more effective communicators, collaborators, critical thinkers, and engineers. During the ten-week program, weekly career development activities will complement hands-on research experiences to introduce students to skills for performing scientific research and to techniques that enable cutting edge research in biomolecular materials. Surveys and exit interviews will be used to monitor the success of the program in collaboration with engineering education experts at Penn State.This REU site focuses on the Integration of Biology and Materials and is hosted by the Chemical Engineering Department at Penn State University. Undergraduate students, selected from institutions across the country, will engage in a ten-week research experience focused on the development, characterization, and application of biomolecular materials. Research activities that integrate materials and the life sciences will develop novel materials and processes to meet national needs in healthcare, energy and the environment, sustainability, and homeland security. Students from institutions where research opportunities are limited will be recruited to the program to create diverse communities during each REU session. Career development activities will integrate arts and technology within the program and will focus on improving the communication and collaboration skills of the REU students and on introducing participants to pilot-scale research facilities. At the completion of the program, students will present their research findings at an undergraduate research symposium at Penn State. Program assessment will be performed in collaboration with the Leonhard Center for Enhancement of Engineering Education and will analyze the effect of the research experience on student outcomes.This site is supported by the Department of Defense in partnership with the NSF REU program.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

宾夕法尼亚州立大学化学工程本科生研究体验网站将为一群才华横溢、多元化的本科生提供专注于生物学和材料研究的机会。生命科学和材料相结合的研究将促进传感器、水净化、能源生产、食品生产、药物设计和纯化以及组织工程方面的进步。该综合项目将在更广泛的研究经验中架起包括艺术和技术在内的多个学科的知识，旨在使学生成为更有效的沟通者、合作者、批判性思考者和工程师。在为期十周的课程中，每周的职业发展活动将补充实践研究经验，向学生介绍进行科学研究的技能以及实现生物分子材料前沿研究的技术。将与宾夕法尼亚州立大学的工程教育专家合作，通过调查和退出访谈来监测该计划的成功。该 REU 网站重点关注生物学和材料的整合，由宾夕法尼亚州立大学化学工程系主办。从全国各地机构中选拔的本科生将进行为期十周的研究经验，重点关注生物分子材料的开发、表征和应用。整合材料和生命科学的研究活动将开发新型材料和工艺，以满足国家在医疗保健、能源和环境、可持续发展和国土安全方面的需求。来自研究机会有限的机构的学生将被招募到该项目中，以便在每次 REU 会议期间创建多样化的社区。职业发展活动将把艺术和技术融入到该项目中，重点是提高 REU 学生的沟通和协作技能，并向参与者介绍试点规模的研究设施。该计划完成后，学生将在宾夕法尼亚州立大学的本科生研究研讨会上展示他们的研究成果。项目评估将与莱昂哈德工程教育增强中心合作进行，并将分析研究经历对学生成果的影响。该网站由国防部与 NSF REU 项目合作支持。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
