Research Experience for Undergraduates in Laser Development and Applications

中佛罗里达大学（University of Central Florida）的本科生研究经历项目将从美国东南部各院校挑选10名本科生，让他们有13周的激光开发和应用研究经历。该计划的主要重点是鼓励有才华的本科生，特别是女性，少数民族和残疾人，在电光和激光领域进行研究生学习。光电和激光研究中心（CREOL）是公认的光学和激光研究卓越中心，该中心的八名国际知名教师将担任该计划的研究主管。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)每周由CREOL教师和其他专家专门为REU学生组织的研究研讨会；4)每两周对奥兰多地区众多光学和激光公司进行工业考察；5)每周关于科学和工程研究中的伦理问题的课程和讨论；6)由首席研究员持续监控学生的进步。所有这些活动都将在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.
