The objective of the REU at Rensselaer is to actively involve undergraduates in ongoing frontier physics research. The research projects cover Astrophysics, Condensed Matter Physics, Optical Physics, and Particle Physics. Features include: hands-on projects carefully designed by either using existing facilities, building simple instruments and interfaces, or using computer modeling and performing data analysis. In addition to daily contact among participants, graduate students and faculty, there are weekly group activities (seminars and field trips) that allow interaction among participants. Each research group will hold weekly group meetings to discuss technical issues regarding experiments or modeling. At the end of the 1st week there are presentations of goals. In the 6th week each participant will deliver an oral progress presentation and a written progress report. In the 10th week, each participant will do a poster presentation and submit a written final report. Guidelines for the preparation of reports and posters and samples are provided. The program philosophy is to allow students to experience the challenge, the excitement, and sometimes frustration involved in research outside the classroom. The goal is to attract and encourage talented students including minorities and women into careers in sciences.

REU在伦斯勒的目标是积极参与正在进行的前沿物理研究的本科生。 研究项目涵盖天体物理学、凝聚态物理学、光学物理学和粒子物理学。功能包括：通过使用现有设施，构建简单的仪器和界面，或使用计算机建模和执行数据分析精心设计的实践项目。除了参与者，研究生和教师之间的日常接触，还有每周的小组活动（研讨会和实地考察），让参与者之间的互动。每个研究小组将每周举行小组会议，讨论有关实验或建模的技术问题。 在第一周结束时，有目标的介绍。在第六周，每个参与者将提供口头进度报告和书面进度报告。 在第十周，每个参与者将做一个海报展示，并提交一份书面的最终报告。提供了编写报告、海报和样本的准则。 该计划的理念是让学生体验到的挑战，兴奋，有时在课堂外的研究涉及挫折。 目标是吸引和鼓励有才华的学生，包括少数民族和妇女进入科学职业。
