University of Maine Office of Research Administration: Grant Reports
The aim of this program is interdisciplinary research experience for undergraduate science and engineering students. The focal point is the development of the next generation of engineered wood composites for construction applications. The disciplines involved include structural engineering, mechanics, composite materials, and wood science. The educational paradigm will be one of combining hands-on laboratory work with training in fundamental science and engineering principles. Previous experience with REU sites indicates that many students become interested in graduate research when they are able to see the fruits of their work used in some application. Thus the basis of this REU site is …
