REU SITE: Center on Polymer Interfaces and Macromolecular Assemblies (CPIMA) Research Experiences for Undergraduates

位于斯坦福大学的多机构材料研究科学与工程中心(MRSEC)通过本科生研究体验(REU)网站为本科生提供研究经验。除斯坦福大学外，MRSEC还包括加州大学戴维斯分校和IBM-Almaden研究中心。15名本科生在全国范围内被招募参加为期十周的暑期研究项目。学生的研究项目集中在聚合物界面和大分子组装上。此外，学生每周都会参加研讨会和社会活动。这个REU网站的重点是从两年制和四年制院校招收本科生，为那些在自己的母校可能没有这样的机会的学生提供研究机会。本科生参与者既接触到学术研究环境，也接触到工业研究环境。

The MRSEC involves, in addition to Stanford, the University of California-Davis and IBM-Almaden Research Center. Fifteen undergraduate students are recruited nationwide for a ten week summer research program. Students' research projects focus on polymer interfaces and macromolecular assemblies. In addition, students attend weekly seminars and social activities.This REU Site, with an emphasis on recruiting undergraduate students from two-year and four-year institutions, provides research opportunities to students who might not have such opportunities at their home institution. Undergraduate participants are exposed to both academic and industrial research environments.
