怀俄明州红外线天文台（WIRO）将由美国国家科学基金会赞助 研究经验的本科生（REU）网站的夏天 在1987年。 WIRO暑期课程为本科生提供一个 观测天体物理学项目的研究机会， 图像处理和仪器。 的主要目标 方案是：首先，向本科生介绍一个 丰富的红外天体物理学研究经验， 包括介绍光度和光谱数据 分析，图像处理和观测技术;第二， 让本科生接触到一些不同的研究， 现代天体物理学领域;第三，提供机会， 与活跃的专业人士直接合作;第四， 这种研究经验对学生的重要性 正规教育。 参与者将来自大学和 全国各地的大学。 同时进行的学术课程 将帮助学生把这种经验在更广泛的学术 背景，并提供了一个程序的总体方向。 该怀俄明州REU计划是一个高度重视的组成部分， NSF的努力，直接涉及本科生在国家的 专业基础研究型高校 科学与工程学

The Wyoming Infrared Observatory (WIRO) will be an NSF sponsored Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site for the summer of 1987. The WIRO summer program offers undergraduate students a research opportunity in observational astrophysics projects, image processing and instrumentation. The principal goals of the program are: first, to introduce the undergraduate to a fulfilling experience in infrared astrophysics research, including an introduction to photometric and spectral data analysis, image processing, and observational techniques; second, to expose the undergraduate to several of the diverse research fields in modern astrophysics; third, to offer an opportunity to work directly with active professionals; and fourth, to relate the importance of this research experience to the student's formal education. Participants will come from colleges and universities throughout the nation. A concurrent academic course will help the students place this experience in a wider academic context and provide a general direction of the program. The Wyoming REU program is a highly regarded component of the NSF's effort to directly involve undergraduates at the nation's colleges and universities with professional basic research in science and engineering.
