Since then, thegrant has been funded twice more; the current award period started in 2017 and will run until2021. As a requirement for the SEECS program, all students must participate in a community-based design project, undertaken for a non-profit entity in the local region. This project isnominally a two-year effort, though some projects have taken longer to complete.

With this mindset, we postulate that materialsresearch is entering discipline unspecific mindset, meaning that researchers across disciplines areinterested and able to contribute to solving key problems. That is, researchers in materialsscience and engineering projects self-select based on interests which are independent ofacademic training. This hypothesis will be tested by analyzing the correlation between academicmajor and department of the research advisor for ~ 150 applicants to the NSF-site REU programat the USF FMMI.
