A Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site for Space-based Research

“本科生科研体验”项目为本科生提供直接参与实际科学研究的机会。在犹他州立大学（Utah State University）有这样一个项目，最多有12名学生获得奖学金，设计和建造实验，这些实验后来在被称为“特殊逃生”（get- special）的独立罐中执行航天飞机任务。在这笔拨款的支持下，该项目正在扩大，包括用气球飞行的包裹，以及其他大气科学和空间科学实验。USU REU项目正在成为一项宝贵的区域资源，为本科生提供独特的研究机会，并在鼓励有才华的年轻人从事科学研究方面具有良好的前景。

The "Research Experiences for Undergraduates" program provides support to give undergraduate students an opportunity to be directly involve in hands-on scientific research. At Utah State University such a program exists where up to 12 students receive scholarships to design and build experiments that are later flown on space shuttle missions in self contained canisters called "get-away-special" canisters. With support from this grant the program is being broadened to include packages to be flown on balloons, and other atmospheric science and space science experiments. The USU REU program is becoming a valuable regional resource to give undergraduates a unique involvement in research, and has a good prospect for encouraging talented young people to adopt a career in scientific research.
