*** Becker San Jose State University, a campus of the California State University, is a modern urban comprehensive university in which faculty are required to do research. There is a large 18-faculty Department of Physics with approximately 35 undergraduate Physics majors in their Junior and Senior years, including approximately fifteen students who are female or members of under-represented minorities. The REU Site that has been in operation since 1989 in the SJSU Physics Department will be continued. An innovative component of this REU Site includes support for students in industry-university collaborations: Four teams consist of a Physics faculty member, a physicist from an industry or government laboratory, and an NSF-REU student participant. Most of the projects are in the areas of optics, condensed matter, and computational physics. All these projects complement the Physics Department's officially recognized "Concentration in Lasers and Optics", "Concentration in Condensed Matter", and the "Concentration in Computational Physics". These three areas represent the major scientific focus in the hightech "Silicon Valley" surrounding this University. These on-going research projects will provide both experimental and theoretical research experience for undergraduates in physics. Undergraduate students are placed in fourteen projects which range from experimental diode laser spectroscopy of stable isotopes in carbon dioxide to theoretical studios of electrical and optical properties of quantum well semiconductors, to rare-earth spectroscopy. The proposed program's major goal is to involve undergraduate students, especially minorities, in research who might not otherwise have the opportunity. ***

* 贝克尔圣何塞州立大学是加州州立大学的一个校区，是一所现代化的城市综合性大学，要求教师做研究。有一个大型的18个教师物理系，大约有35个本科物理专业在他们的初中和高中，其中包括大约15名学生谁是女性或代表性不足的少数民族成员。 自1989年以来在SJSU物理系运行的REU网站将继续运行。 这个REU网站的创新组成部分包括支持学生在工业-大学合作：四个团队包括一个物理教员，从行业或政府实验室的物理学家，和一个NSF-REU学生参与者。 大多数项目是在光学，凝聚态物质和计算物理领域。 所有这些项目补充了物理系官方认可的“激光和光学浓度”，“凝聚态物质浓度”和“计算物理浓度”。 这三个领域代表了围绕这所大学的高科技“硅谷”的主要科学焦点。 这些正在进行的研究项目将为物理本科生提供实验和理论研究经验。 本科生被安排在14个项目中，从二氧化碳中稳定同位素的实验二极管激光光谱学到量子阱半导体的电学和光学性质的理论工作室，再到稀土光谱学。 该计划的主要目标是让本科生，特别是少数民族学生参与研究，否则他们可能没有机会。***
