The three-year renewal REU Site: Transformational Technologies for Next Generation Aerospace Systems is hosted by Florida State University in collaboration with Florida A&M University. This REU site engages 10 students each year in research on advanced aerospace systems, including the theoretical formulation, computational simulation, and experimental validation of design and development. The multidisciplinary nature of these projects will engage students in cross-cutting technologies through their specific research and group activities. Participants will engage with a series of hands-on learning modules on advanced fluid flow diagnostics and wind tunnel testing techniques. The student cohort will be recruited, especially under-represented minorities in engineering, to participate in research activities to prepare them for advanced degrees and/or professional careers in aerospace-related fields. The students will work on individualized projects and participate in group activities such as seminars, lab/industry tours, outreach, and development of learning modules.

This REU site engages 10 students each year in research on advanced aerospace systems, including the theoretical formulation, computational simulation, and experimental validation of design and development. The multidisciplinary nature of these projects will engage students in cross-cutting technologies through their specific research and group activities. As pointed out by various news reports, the increasing global competition is due to (1) the aging of the current aerospace workforce, (2) the fact that aerospace and related engineering and science fields do not attract enough top students to STEM disciplines, and (3) recent declining trends of engineering graduates going into aerospace fields. The proposed REU site, while combining the strengths of a major research university at Florida State University and an HBCU at Florida A&M University, has many faculty members with established track records in both scholarly activities and recruitment and education of minority and female engineering students. We will coordinate with other ongoing undergraduate student training programs for joint recruitment, professional training, and group activities. Participants will engage with a series of hands-on learning modules on advanced fluid flow diagnostics and wind tunnel testing techniques. The student cohort will be recruited, especially under-represented minorities in engineering, to participate in research activities to prepare them for advanced degrees and/or professional careers in aerospace-related fields. The students will work on individualized projects and participate in group activities such as seminars, lab/industry tours, outreach, and development of learning modules. 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.

为期三年的RENEWAL REU网站：下一代航空系统的变革技术由佛罗里达州立大学与佛罗里达州A＆M大学合作主持。该REU站点每年参与10名学生的高级航空系统研究，包括理论配方，计算模拟以及设计和开发的实验验证。这些项目的多学科性质将通过其特定的研究和小组活动来吸引学生参与跨切割技术。参与者将与一系列有关高级流体流诊断和风洞测试技术的动手学习模块。学生队列将被招募，尤其是代表性不足的工程少数群体，以参加研究活动，以准备与航空相关领域的高级学位和/或职业职业做好准备。学生将从事个性化项目，并参加小组活动，例如研讨会，实验室/行业旅行，外展和学习模块的发展。 为期三年的RENEWAL REU网站：下一代航空系统的变革技术由佛罗里达州立大学与佛罗里达州A＆M大学合作主持。该REU站点每年参与10名学生的高级航空系统研究，包括理论配方，计算模拟以及设计和开发的实验验证。这些项目的多学科性质将通过其特定的研究和小组活动来吸引学生参与跨切割技术。正如各种新闻报道所指出的那样，全球竞争的增加是由于（1）当前航空航天劳动力的老化，（2）航空航天及相关工程和科学领域的事实并没有吸引足够的顶级学生来阻止学科，并且（3）最近进入航空航天领域的工程毕业生的趋势最近下降。拟议的REU网站虽然结合了佛罗里达州立大学一所大型研究大学的优势和佛罗里达州A＆M大学的HBCU，但许多教职员工在学术活动，招聘和教育少数群体和女性工程专业的学生中都拥有良好的往绩记录。我们将与其他正在进行的本科生培训计划进行协调，以共同招募，专业培训和小组活动。参与者将与一系列有关高级流体流诊断和风洞测试技术的动手学习模块。学生队列将被招募，尤其是代表性不足的工程少数群体，以参加研究活动，以准备与航空相关领域的高级学位和/或职业职业做好准备。学生将从事个性化项目，并参加小组活动，例如研讨会，实验室/行业旅行，外展和学习模块的发展。 该站点得到国防部与NSF REU计划合作的支持。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并且使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响标准，认为值得通过评估来获得支持。
