REU: Undergraduate Research Participation Site at the Space Physics Research Laboratory, University of Michigan

这是一个REU网站的奖项。 10至12名本科生被竞争性地选择在密歇根大学空间物理研究实验室度过三个夏季，每个人都与大约30名教师中的一名合作，研究气辉和大气科学空间等离子体物理，彗星研究，行星大气，空气污染运输和激光雷达。 在这项研究中，学生有机会与他们的导师，其他本科生在该计划，研究生在大学和其他教职员工互动。 他们能够有动手的经验与仪器已经或将在太空中飞行，正在进行大气遥感测量，并制造和校准这些最先进的系统的状态组件。 他们还能够选择构建和使用软件包，解决分析表达式，以图像形式呈现空间飞行数据，并操作大型数据库。 他们的经验的一部分包括参加由SPRL教职员工提供的每周研讨会，为他们的导师（这可能是可追溯的）写报告他们的工作，并口头向学生和工作人员介绍他们的报告。

This is an award for a REU Site. Ten to twelve undergraduate students are competitively selected to spend three summer months at the Space Physics Research Laboratory, University of Michigan, where each works with one of the about 30 faculty members doing research in Airglow and Atmospheric Science Space Plasma Physics, Cometary Studies, Planetary Atmospheres, Air Pollution Transport, and Lidars. In this research the students have opportunities to interact with their mentors, other undergraduate students in the program, graduate students at the university and other faculty members. They are able to have hands on experience working with instrumentation which has or will fly in space, is making remote sensing measurements of the atmosphere, and fabricate and calibrate components of these state of the art systems. They are also able to choose to construct and work with software packages which solve analytical expressions, present space flight data in image forms, and manipulate large data bases. A portion of their experience involves attending weekly seminars given by the SPRL faculty staff, writing up their work in a report for their mentor (which may be publishable), and presenting their report orally to the students and staff.
