Advanced undergraduate student training in astronomy will be carried out by providing students with real research experience using a large modern observatory equipped with research-quality instrumentation. A laboratory and analysis environment will be provided for specific astronomy undergraduate course offerings at the University of Washington. This environment will allow students to acquire scientific data and will provide them with the tools to evaluate this data using current astronomical techniques. The goals of this program are to attract undergraduate students to astronomy and space science fields and to encourage them in developing their investigative talents. The program intends to create this environment and efficiently achieve these goals by taking advantage of many standards from industry as well as implementing standard astronomical data acquisition and analysis tools. Many of these standards exist as the successful products of past and continuing programs supported by the National Science Foundation. The staff and observatory facilities of the University of Washington, which has a broad coverage in scientific, instructional and engineering support, form an ideal platform upon which to base the program.

天文学高级本科生培训将通过使用配备研究质量仪器的大型现代化天文台为学生提供真实的研究经验来进行。 华盛顿大学将为特定天文学本科课程提供实验室和分析环境。 这种环境将使学生能够获取科学数据，并为他们提供使用当前天文学技术评估这些数据的工具。 该计划的目标是吸引本科生进入天文学和空间科学领域，并鼓励他们发展研究才能。 该计划旨在通过利用许多行业标准以及实施标准天文数据采集和分析工具来创建这种环境并有效地实现这些目标。 其中许多标准都是国家科学基金会过去和持续支持的项目的成功产品。 华盛顿大学的教职员工和天文台设施在科学、教学和工程支持方面拥有广泛的覆盖面，构成了该计划的理想平台。
