Cornell University operates a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Site affiliated with its NSF-funded Materials Research Science and Engineering Center. The REU Site offers research opportunities for undergraduate students in a wide variety of materials-related topics; the understanding and control of materials in the nanoscale is the common thread of the research programs. Twenty undergraduate students are recruited every year for a ten-week summer research experience. The REU Site actively promotes the participation of women and students from underrepresented groups and from predominantly undergraduate institutions.In addition to participating in individual research projects, students attend weekly technical seminars and career workshops, and participate in collective social activities.Through participation in the summer activities, students in the program are afforded a wider perspective on research than they might see as part of their regular undergraduate studies. This familiarity with different perspectives on scientific research helps them to understand the many different pathways leading to a career in science and engineering research.

康奈尔大学管理着一个本科生研究体验（REU）网站，该网站附属于其NSF资助的材料研究科学与工程中心。REU网站为本科生提供了各种材料相关主题的研究机会;对纳米材料的理解和控制是研究计划的共同点。每年招收20名本科生进行为期10周的夏季研究。REU网站积极促进妇女和来自代表性不足群体和主要本科院校的学生的参与。除了参加个人研究项目外，学生还参加每周的技术研讨会和职业讲习班，并参加集体社交活动。通过参加夏季活动，在该计划的学生提供了一个更广泛的研究角度比他们可能会看到他们的常规本科学习的一部分。 这种对科学研究不同观点的熟悉有助于他们了解通往科学和工程研究职业的许多不同途径。
