The Bucknell University `Summer Research Program in Physics` will be continued, giving eight undergraduate students per summer the opportunity to collaborate with a member of the Bucknell physics faculty for ten weeks on his or her research. Students will be recruited from around the country, with a focus on colleges in the eastern seaboard and Appalachian region. Six Bucknell faculty will offer projects each summer, so the level of student-faculty interaction will be high. This immersion in a research environment is intended to complement traditional classroom experiences of the students. Participation will help students make career choices, and will provide specific preparation for those that continue on the graduate studies in physics. All of the students will live together on the Bucknell campus, conduct most of their research in on-campus facilities, and participate in weekly departmental seminars and colloquia. Projects offered cover many areas of physics. They include experimental investigations of phase transitions in biological cell membranes, use of laser diodes and magnetic resonance to study atomic interactions, experimental studies of pattern formation and chaos in complex systems, observation based studies of star formation, analysis of data from an experiment performed at Fermilab National Accelerator, theoretical studies in quantum optics, and theoretical studies in general relativity.

巴克内尔大学的“夏季物理研究计划”将继续下去，每年夏天有八名本科生有机会与巴克内尔物理系的一名成员合作十周。 学生将从全国各地招募，重点是东海岸和阿巴拉契亚地区的大学。 六巴克内尔教师将提供项目，每年夏天，所以学生与教师的互动水平将很高。 这种沉浸在研究环境中的目的是补充学生的传统课堂经验。 参与将帮助学生做出职业选择，并将为那些继续在物理学研究生学习的学生提供具体的准备。 所有的学生将住在巴克内尔校园一起，在校园内的设施进行他们的大部分研究，并参加每周部门研讨会和座谈会。 提供的项目涵盖物理学的许多领域。 它们包括生物细胞膜相变的实验研究，使用激光二极管和磁共振研究原子相互作用，复杂系统中模式形成和混沌的实验研究，基于观测的星星形成研究，费米实验室国家加速器实验数据分析，量子光学理论研究和广义相对论理论研究。
