项目摘要

The REU Site: Training in Emerging Biomedical Optics and Imaging Approaches hosted by the University of Arkansas aims to engage undergraduate students in scientific research under the mentorship of faculty in the Department of Biomedical Engineering. Recently, in the state of Arkansas and the surrounding region, there has been significant growth in students’ interest in the field of biomedical engineering, but relatively limited opportunities for undergraduate research. Research experience allows students to apply their knowledge gained through the classroom, teaches them independent scientific research, develops hands-on skills, and prepares them for a career in science and engineering. Students will be recruited from colleges and universities in the region that lack a biomedical engineering research program, as well as from minority groups underrepresented in STEM. The program is intended to teach students independent scientific research and guide undergraduate students—those who would otherwise not have the mentorship opportunity—to pursue a career in science and engineering and specifically, in the growing field of biomedical optics. Students will gain professional perspectives through a professional development seminar series, and engage in interdisciplinary professional development activities with other researchers on campus. The project will prepare undergraduate students from various backgrounds for graduate studies in biomedical engineering or a related field as well as career as scientists and engineers. The REU Site: Training in Emerging Biomedical Optics and Imaging Approaches at the University of Arkansas will provide scientific research opportunities for students in the region who lack such opportunities, teach students valuable hands-on research skills within the field of biomedical optics and imaging, and prepare students for an ethically grounded career in science and engineering. Recently, in the state of Arkansas and the surrounding region, there has been significant growth in the students’ interest in the field of biomedical engineering, but relatively limited opportunities for undergraduate research. More than half of the students will come from underrepresented groups in STEM fields such as women, Native American, Hispanic, and African American students. The site will provide both the financial and scholarly platform to bring together students who lack these opportunities, recruiting from colleges and universities of the surrounding areas that lack biomedical research programs. In addition to rigorous coursework, undergraduate research is an integral part of the biomedical engineering undergraduate education. Research experience allows students to apply their knowledge gained through the classroom, teaches them independent scientific research, develops hands-on skills, and prepares them for a career in science and engineering. Students will be assigned independent hypothesis-driven projects in state-of-the-art biomedical research laboratories in fields of optical instrumentation development or basic science applying existing, cutting-edge optical imaging or spectroscopy methods. Students will learn to generate experimental hypotheses, design and carry out experiments, and analyze and communicate the results of their research. Students will gain professional perspectives through a professional development seminar series, and engage in interdisciplinary professional development activities with other researchers on campus. The project will prepare undergraduate students from various backgrounds for graduate studies in biomedical engineering or a related field as well as career as scientists and engineers.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.
REU网站:阿肯色大学主持的新兴生物医学光学和成像方法的培训旨在让本科生在生物医学工程系的教师心理下参与科学研究。最近,在阿肯色州及周边地区,学生对生物医学工程领域的兴趣有了显着增长,但本科研究的机会相对有限。研究经验使学生能够通过课堂上获得知识,教他们独立的科学研究,发展动手技能,并为他们从事科学和工程职业做好准备。将从缺乏生物医学工程研究计划的该地区的大学和大学中招募学生,以及STEM中代表性不足的少数群体。该计划旨在教学学生独立的科学研究和指导本科生(否则将没有心态机会)来购买科学和工程学的职业,特别是在生物医学光学的发展领域中购买职业。学生将通过专业开发的精液系列获得专业观点,并与校园其他研究人员一起从事跨学科的专业发展活动。该项目将为来自各种背景的本科生做好准备,以供生物医学工程或相关领域的研究生学习以及科学家和工程师的职业。 REU网站:阿肯色大学的新兴生物医学光学和成像方法的培训将为该地区缺乏机会的学生提供科学研究机会,教师在生物医学光学和成像领域中重视动手实践的研究技能,并为学生做好理智地扎根于科学和工程领域的职业。最近,在阿肯色州及其周边地区,学生对生物医学工程领域的兴趣已经显着增长,但本科研究的机会相对有限。超过一半的学生将来自妇女,美洲原住民,西班牙裔和非裔美国学生等STEM领域中代表性不足的群体。该网站将提供财务和科学平台,以将缺乏这些机会的学生汇集在一起​​,并从缺乏生物医学研究计划的周围地区的大学和大学招募。除了严格的课程外,本科研究还是生物医学工程本科教育的组成部分。研究经验使学生能够通过课堂上获得知识,教他们独立的科学研究,发展动手技能,并为他们从事科学和工程职业做好准备。将在光学仪器开发或基础科学领域的最先进的生物医学研究实验室中为学生分配独立的假设驱动的项目,并采用现有的,尖端的光学成像或光谱法。学生将学习产生实验假设,设计和执行实验,并分析和传达其研究结果。学生将通过专业开发的精液系列获得专业观点,并与校园其他研究人员一起从事跨学科的专业发展活动。该项目将为来自各种背景的本科生准备生物医学工程或相关领域的研究生学习以及作为科学家和工程师的职业。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务,并被认为是通过基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响来通过评估来支持的珍贵。
