AB  -            Experience Developing and Implementing an NSF REU Site on             Sustainable Management and Beneficial Reuse of Residual                             Wastes and ByproductsAbstractThe authors describe recent experiences in designing and implementing a Research Experiencesfor Undergradutes (REU) site sponsored by the National Science Foundation (NSF). Faculty at_____________ recently established the _____________ Institute, which provides a uniqueopportunity for undergraduate students to participate in the advancement of fundamentalengineering and scientific research. This institute represents the focal point of the REU program.Goals of this organization are to advance current practices in resource management and toconduct research on and provide anticipatory solutions to the entire lifecycle of large quantitiesand wide varieties of wastes and byproducts.The REU program, currently in its second year, supports ten students over a 10-week periodduring the summer. Faculty and graduate students serve as research mentors. The principalobjectives of the program are: (1) to engage undergraduate participants on projects that provideopportunities for discovering new knowledge; (2) to mentor a diverse team of undergraduates;(3) to promote graduate study as a future professional goal; and (4) to provide instructive andappealing learning components. Undergraduates in the program must achieve three learningoutcomes: design, conduct, and document a research experiment; function effectively on amultidisciplinary research team; and summarize both the technical and experiential aspects of theresearch experience. The authors discuss the program assessment plan (and initial programresults) in this paper. The research team assessed and evaluated specific performance metricsdefined under each outcome, where a performance metric represents a skill or ability that theundergraduate participant is expected to demonstrate by the end of the research appointment.Included in the paper are short discussions on undergraduate student recruitment, schedule andprogramming, professional development activities, student tasks/submittals, mentoring, mentortraining, and project evaluation. In addition, the authors describe specific research projectsundertaken during the first year of the program. The _____________ fosters collaborationamong participants from the colleges of Engineering, Science, Agriculture, and Business.Faculty from complementary disciplines within these colleges work together to develop solutionsto existing and emerging problems associated with waste and byproduct management. The threeprimary research areas addressed under this research program include pollution prevention andwaste management; waste to energy conversion; and beneficial reuse of wastes and byproducts.
