The NHERI UF EF is seeking REU students interested in experimental research in our laboratory, data analysis and computacional modeling, and engineering education research. Our REU students will participae in ongoing wind hazard projects, in teams and individually. At least one REU will also contribute to a Teacher Training Program aimed at providing K-12 teachers the skills they need to meaningfully intergrate engineering design and inquiry in their classroom. The ideal candidates should be passionate about project-based learning within a diverse team of students, teachers, and research staff. We anticipate this to be an in-person, on capus program, as circumstances allow.

Please contact REU coordinator (Prof. Kurtis Gurley kgurley@ufl.edu) with questions about this opportunity.
The University of Florida (UF) NHERI Experimental Facility (EF) provides users access to one of the largest and most diverse suite of wind engineering experimental research infrastructure in the world. Our goals is to broadly support transformative wind hazard research that:
Located in the Powell Family Structures and Materials Laboratory (travel directions), the NHERI UF EF enables investigators to characterize loading on and dynamic response of a wide range of infrastructure in a large, reconfigurable boundary layer wind tunnel (BLWT).
