"Research Experience for Undergraduate Students in Sensor Technologies"

该REU网站将为9名本科生提供传感器技术领域的研究机会。主要目的是研究与传感器有关的现象，以便产生科学知识并将这些知识应用于传感器的开发。REU站点将成为传感器技术中心的一部分。该中心为教师和学生提供协作、交流思想、共同监督学生和共享资源的基础设施。本科生将积极参与参与教师的一个研究项目。特别强调的是本科生与研究生和其他与中心有关的教员之间更广泛的互动。四到五名学生将从宾夕法尼亚大学招募，其余的将从费城地区25所较小的大学中招募。特别注意招募少数民族。学生将由一个委员会根据学生的学术潜力、研究兴趣、对研究生学习的态度和在母校的研究机会来选择。每个被选中的学生将在一到两名教员的密切监督下工作。这些项目的选择是基于它们的教育价值、科学价值以及夏季结束后继续参与的前景。项目主题包括光学，机械，微结构和微加工，封装，基于神经网络的传感器和传感器接口。

This REU site will provide 9 undergraduate students with research opportunities in the area of Sensor Technologies. The main purpose is the study of sensor-related phenomena in order to generate scientific knowledge and to apply this knowledge to sensor development. The REU site ill be part of the Center for Sensor Technologies. The Center provide the infrastructure for faculty and students to collaborate, exchange ideas, co-supervise students, and share resources. The undergraduate students will become actively involved in one of the research projects of a participating faculty. Special emphasis is put on the broader interaction of the undergraduates with graduate students and other faculty member associated with the Center. Four or five students will be recruited from Penn and the rest from on of 25 smaller colleges in the Philadelphia area. Special attention is made to recruit minorities. Students will be selected by a committee according to the students academic potential, research interest, attitude towards graduate studies and research opportunities in the mother institution. Each selected student will work under the close supervision of one or two faculty members. The projects are chosen based on their educational value, the scientific merit, and the prospects for continued involvement after the summer. Project topics include optical, mechanical, microstructure and micromachining, packaging, neural network based sensors and sensor interfacing.
