There will be a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program in Theoretical and Applied Mechanics at Cornell. Every effort is to be made to include women and underrepresented minorities at a proportion that reflects their numbers in society. Under-represented minorities will be energetically recruited through the NSF-funded Engineering Synthesis Coalition. The summer program will start with a two-week training period, in which the students will learn basic machine shop skills, some computer skills, and basic electronic circuit construction skills. The students will then work with their individual advisor, meeting at least weekly. The summer program will also include weekly REU meetings, tours of Cornell labs and of local companies, and some social activities. Every student will write a final report and all students will give a short final oral presentation. Participation in the REU program is likely to increase the chance that students will pursue graduate studies.

康奈尔大学将开设理论和应用力学本科生研究经验(REU)课程。应尽一切努力使妇女和代表性不足的少数群体以反映其在社会中的人数的比例纳入其中。代表不足的少数民族将通过国家科学基金会资助的工程合成联盟积极招募。暑期计划将以为期两周的训练期开始，在此期间，学生将学习基本的机械车间技能、一些计算机技能和基本的电子电路建造技能。然后，学生们将与他们的个人导师合作，至少每周会面一次。暑期计划还将包括每周一次的REU会议，参观康奈尔实验室和当地公司，以及一些社交活动。每个学生都要写一份期末报告，所有学生都要做简短的期末口头报告。参加REU项目可能会增加学生攻读研究生的机会。
