*** Thews Opportunities for undergraduate students to participate in ongoing research projects in experimental physics are structured in a summer REU program at the University of Arizona. Students may choose from a wide variety of forefront physics activities, under the direction of senior faculty members from the Department of Physics. The main student audience will be those who have finished the equivalent of the first or second year curriculum in science or engineering at Pima Community College, in preparation for transfer to a 4-year degree program. This program is also available to similarly prepared students from regions outside southern Arizona who will be resident in Tucson during the summer. Graduate Teaching Assistants from the physics department serve as mentors for the students. Special orientation and skills activities are individually tailored to enable the students to continue their associations with the research project after the completion of the summer REU program, most often as paid laboratory associates. Recruitment activities place special emphasis on women and underrepresented minorities. Because most students will start in this program at a very early point in their scientific education, we encourage continuity in their development by allowing past participants to apply for admission in subsequent summer sessions. ***

* Thews本科生参与实验物理学正在进行的研究项目的机会是在亚利桑那大学的夏季REU计划中构建的。 学生可以从各种各样的前沿物理活动中选择，在物理系高级教师的指导下。 主要的学生观众将是那些谁已经完成了在皮马社区学院的科学或工程的第一年或第二年课程的等效，在准备转移到一个4年制学位课程。 该计划也适用于来自亚利桑那州南部以外地区的学生，他们将在夏季居住在图森。 物理系的研究生助教担任学生的导师。 特殊的方向和技能活动是单独定制的，使学生能够在夏季REU计划完成后继续与研究项目联系，最常见的是作为付费实验室助理。 征聘活动特别重视妇女和代表性不足的少数群体。 因为大多数学生将在他们的科学教育的早期开始在这个程序，我们鼓励他们的发展的连续性，允许过去的参与者申请入学在随后的夏季会议。 ***
