Wayne State University has an REU program to bring disadvantaged students from the Detroit Metro Area to national laboratories over the summer. In this proposal we will bring six students to the LNS laboratory at Cornell University and four students to the BNL laboratory in Long Island, NY. WSU provides a uniquely diverse group of students, largely from underrepresented segments of society. The recruiting and preparation phase provides the students with intensive faculty interaction, encouragement, and an effort to make sure that the student needs are met. The program consists of a preparation phase involving a one-hour course given over the winter to students and prospective teacher participants (14 hours total). The course introduces the students and teachers to the physical and mathematical concepts relevant for the summer experience. The course also provides an introduction to the computing environment of a large experiment, and a computer homework, which requires the students to write and understand simple programs, produce some graphic output, and write their own web page within a Unix environment. Faculties travel with the students to Cornell and Brookhaven in early June to help them get settled and started. They merge with existing REU programs at Brookhaven and Cornell for social activities, and lectures on various scientific topics.

韦恩州立大学有一个REU项目，在夏天将底特律大都市区的贫困学生带到国家实验室。在这份提案中，我们将把6名学生带到康奈尔大学的LNS实验室，将4名学生带到纽约长岛的BNL实验室。威斯康星州立大学提供了一个独特的多样化的学生群体，主要来自社会中代表性较低的部分。招聘和准备阶段为学生提供了密集的教职员工互动和鼓励，并努力确保学生的需求得到满足。该计划包括一个准备阶段，包括在冬季向学生和未来的教师参与者提供一小时的课程(总共14小时)。本课程向学生和教师介绍与暑期体验相关的物理和数学概念。本课程还介绍了大型实验的计算环境，以及计算机作业，要求学生编写和理解简单的程序，生成一些图形输出，并在Unix环境中编写自己的网页。教职员工将于6月初与学生一起前往康奈尔和布鲁克海文，帮助他们安顿下来并开始工作。它们与布鲁克海文和康奈尔现有的REU项目合并，用于社交活动和各种科学主题的讲座。
