Students will be exposed to fundamental engineering and scientific
research that enhances sustainable product and process design. Students work
with our professors and graduate students involved in multidisciplinary
research in the fields of chemical and environmental engineering, materials
science and engineering, optical science, mining and geological engineering,
and biosystems engineering. In particular, our REU students will explore
innovative pathways to accommodate sustainable development while preserving
environmental values.
As well as their research experience, students participate
in seminars on preparation of research papers, research posters and oral
presentations, preparing for graduate school. We also tour electrical
generation facilities, manufacturing facilities and waste treatment, disposal
and recycling facilities. Students prepare a final research report and deliver
a presentation on their research project. Students also have opportunities for
social recreational and entertainment activities with graduate students and
undergraduates in our and other REU programs.
Previous REU student's Comments:
"This program provides so many opportunities to work
with equipment and do your own research, not just collect data for other
people's projects."
"This program proved to me that graduate school is
the right decision for me"
"I gained research experience along with the life
experience of being 2,500 miles from home."
"I gained an enormous amount of knowledge about the
semiconductor industry."
"This experience will clear up the decisions of
students who are considering research as a career."
"I benefited greatly from the close knit research
group that I became a part of. They accepted me and helped solve problems early
on. They made the experience more fun and rewarding."
"This summer has given me a good introduction into
what the semiconductor industry is all about and made me more interested in
getting a job in that field."
