Research Experience for Undergraduates in Laser Development and Applications

中佛罗里达大学的本科生研究体验项目将向来自东南部各院校的10名本科生展示为期13周的激光开发和应用方面的研究经验。该计划的主要重点将是鼓励有才华的本科生，特别是女性、少数族裔和残疾人，在电子光学和激光领域攻读研究生课程。光电和激光研究中心(CREOL)是公认的光学和激光研究的卓越中心，该中心的八名国际公认的教员将担任该项目的研究主管。该计划将包括：1)光学和激光基本原理的入门课程；2)激光系统课程；3)CREOL教员和其他专家专门为REU学生组织的每周研究研讨会；4)对奥兰多地区众多光学和激光公司的两周工业访问；5)关于科学和工程研究中的伦理问题的每周课程和讨论会议；6)由首席调查员持续监督学生的进步。所有活动都将在1993年夏季学期进行。

The Research Experiences for Undergraduates program at the University of Central Florida will expose ten undergraduate students, chosen from institutions throughout the Southeast to thirteen weeks of research experiences in the development and applications of lasers. A primary emphasis of this program will be to encourage talented undergraduate students, in particular women, minorities, and persons with disabilities, to pursue graduate studies in the field of electro-optics and lasers. Eight internationally recognized faculty in the Center for Research in Electro-Optics and Lasers (CREOL), which is a recognized center of excellence in optics and laser research, will be Research Supervisors in this program. The program will include: 1) An introductory course in the basic principals of optics and lasers; 2) A course on laser systems; 3) Weekly Research Seminars by the CREOL faculty and other experts organized specifically for the REU students; 4) Biweekly industrial visits to the numerous optics and laser companies in the Orlando area; 5) Weekly classes and discussion sessions on issues of ethics in science and engineering research; 6) Continuous monitoring of the students' progress by the principal investigators. All of the activities will take place in the summer term of 1993.
