A Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site will be carried out in the Physics Department of The Pennsylvania State University at the University Park campus during 1991- 1993. The REU site will involve 14 students in research projects each summer, 10 funded by NSF and 4 by Penn State. Students will be involved in a wide range of frontier research projects, consistent with the department's excellent record of undergraduate research in all areas of physics. As an REU site, the Penn State Physics Department will mount an aggressive campaign to recruit students into the program, with a wide recruitment area covering Pennsylvania and surrounding, mid-Atlantic region states. Efforts to encourage minority student enrollment include a special recruitment agreement with the Physics Department at Morehouse College, Georgia and making use of contacts with other predominantly minority universities and colleges in the region. There will be special seminars and background courses for participating students in order to broaden and reinforce their knowledge of physics and to encourage interaction with faculty. Valuable skills, such as machine shop use and scientific computing, will also be taught. Extra-curricular activities will be organized to encourage students to interact informally with faculty and graduate students. Throughout the program emphasis will be placed on encouraging students' interest in careers in physics.

本科生研究经验（REU）网站将是 在宾夕法尼亚州的物理系进行 1991年在大学公园校园的大学- 1993. REU网站将涉及14名学生的研究 每年夏天，10个项目由NSF资助，4个由宾夕法尼亚州立大学资助。 学生将参与广泛的前沿研究 项目，符合该部门的良好记录， 所有物理学领域的本科生研究。 作为一个REU网站，宾夕法尼亚州立大学物理系将安装 一场积极的招生运动， 计划，广泛的招聘领域涵盖宾夕法尼亚州和 周边的大西洋中部国家 努力 鼓励少数民族学生入学， 与物理系的招聘协议， 莫尔豪斯学院，格鲁吉亚和利用与其他 主要是该地区的少数民族大学和学院。 将举办特别研讨会和背景课程， 参与的学生，以扩大和加强他们的 物理知识，并鼓励与 教师。 有价值的技能，如机械车间使用和 科学计算，也将被教授。 课外 将组织活动，鼓励学生互动 非正式地与教师和研究生交流。 在整个 计划的重点将放在鼓励学生 对物理学职业感兴趣。
