The Haystack Observatory as a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site for Astronomy and Atmospheric Science Using Radio Techniques

麻省理工学院的干草堆天文台在射电天文学和大气科学方面开展了强有力的研究计划。在其位于马萨诸塞州韦斯特福德的地点有独特的设施，用于进行这项研究。天文台在全国范围内被大量研究人员和学生使用，主要用于研究生教育。本科生暑期研究机会计划将作为1987年本科生研究经验(REU)计划的延续和扩展而实施。五名天文学专业的学生和四名大气科学专业的学生正在规划这些学科的项目，并将结合科学和技术主题的经验。除这些经验外，还将每周举办一系列研讨会、参观设施、召开研究讨论会议以及编写和介绍最终报告。该计划旨在促进学生对研究功能的全面欣赏，以培养对科学学科的兴趣，并有助于保持学生对科学、工程和数学职业的兴趣。招聘和遴选过程将鼓励妇女、少数群体和残疾学生的申请。

The Haystack Observatory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, carries out vigorous research programs in radio astronomy and atmospheric sciences. There are unique facilities at its site in Westford, MA, which are used to conduct this research. The Observatory is used by a large number of researchers and students, nationally, primarily in graduate education. A summer research opportunities program for undergraduates will be carried out as a continuation and expansion of their 1987 Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program. Five students in astronomy and four students in atmospheric sciences are planning projects in these disciplines and will combine experiences in scientific and technical topics. These experiences will be supplemented by a series of weekly seminars, facility tours, meetings on research discussions, and final report preparations and presentations. The program is aimed at promoting in the students an appreciation for the full scope of research functions in order to develop excitement in scientific disciplines and contribute to maintaining student interest in careers in science, engineering and mathematics. The recruitment and selection processes will encourage applications by women, minorities and handicapped students.
