The program for undergraduate laboratory research experience at Cornell University is based on the fact that Cornell's School of Civil and Environmental Engineering has a strong experimental research program using modern lab facilities in all principal subareas of civil and environmental engineering. The program is designed to generate hands- on-lab research experiments performed with faculty in the following laboratories, based on the students' interests, backgrounds, and talents: Concrete and Construction Materials, Environmental Engineering, Geotechnical, Hydraulics, Remote Sensing, and Structural Engineering. The program is building on a successful REU program in civil and environmental engineering held at Cornell the past two summers. Each laboratory program has a faculty member as co-principal investigator in charge. A carefully thought-out evaluation, feedback and interaction mechanism has been designed to assure that the undergraduate lab research experience is an enticement for talented students to think seriously about advanced studies in engineering. Cornell's minority recruitment, and advising and counseling program assures that the interested minority students can be identified and recruited.

康奈尔大学的本科生实验室研究经验项目是基于这样一个事实：康奈尔大学土木与环境工程学院在土木与环境工程的所有主要子领域都有一个强大的实验研究项目，使用现代化的实验室设施。该计划旨在根据学生的兴趣、背景和才能，在以下实验室与教师一起进行动手实验室研究实验：混凝土和建筑材料、环境工程、岩土工程、水力学、遥感和结构工程。该项目是建立在过去两个夏天在康奈尔大学举办的土木和环境工程REU项目成功的基础上的。每个实验项目都有一名教员担任联合首席研究员。一个经过深思熟虑的评估、反馈和互动机制已经被设计出来，以确保本科生的实验室研究经历是一个诱惑，有才华的学生认真思考工程的高级研究。康奈尔大学的少数族裔招生、建议和咨询项目确保感兴趣的少数族裔学生能够被识别和录取。
