Research Experiences for Undergraduates in Lasers and Optics

9424231 Hagan位于光学和激光研究与教育中心的REU网站每年将向全国招收的10名本科生提供为期12周的激光和光学研究经验。这些方案的主要重点将是鼓励有才华的本科生，特别是妇女、少数民族和残疾人，在光学和激光领域攻读研究生课程。CREOL的十名国际公认的教职员工将担任该项目的研究指导。CREOL是世界领先的光学和激光研究中心。该计划将包括：(1)光学和激光基本原理的入门课程；(2)CREOL学院每周一次的本科生研究研讨会；(3)两周一次的对奥兰多地区众多光学和激光公司的工业访问；(4)每周一次的课程和讨论，讨论工程研究中的伦理问题，研究小组教程；以及(5)主要研究人员持续监测学生的进步，主要是通过每周两次的辅导讨论。该计划的后续行动将是帮助获得奖学金的学生进入研究生院，并跟踪他们的职业发展。***

9424231 Hagan The REU Site in the Center for Research and Education in Optics and Lasers (CREOL) will expose ten undergraduate students per year, recruited nationally, to twelve weeks of research experiences in lasers and optics. A primary emphasis of these programs will be on encouraging talented undergraduate students, in particular women, minorities and persons with disabilities, to pursue graduate studies in the field of optics and lasers. Ten internationally recognized faculty in the CREOL will be Research Supervisors in this project. CREOL is a world-leading center of excellence in optics and laser research. The program will include: (1) An introductory course in the basic principals of optics and lasers; (2) Weekly Undergraduate Research Seminars by the CREOL Faculty; (3) Bi-weekly industrial visits to the numerous optics and laser companies in the Orlando area; (4) Weekly classes and discussions sessions on issues of ethics in engineering research, research group tutorials; and (5) Continuous monitoring of the students' progress by the principal investigators, primarily via twice-weekly tutorial discussion sessions. The program will be followed up by helping students get into graduate school with scholarships and by tracking their career progress. ***
