NSF-REU Site for Physics Research at San Jose State University

在圣何塞州立大学，现代综合加州州立大学校园的物理学NSF-REU网站，自1989年以来一直在全年运行，有很高的少数民族和女性参与，并从一个合格的本科物理专业的大池绘制。 大多数正在进行的研究项目都在光学，凝聚态和计算物理领域-这些领域代表了我们校园周围高科技硅谷的主要科学焦点。 这些正在进行的项目为物理本科生提供实验和理论研究经验。 我们的暑期课程为来自圣何塞州以外的大学的代表性不足的学生提供服务，我们的部分课程为产学合作的学生提供支持。 这些伙伴关系包括物理学教师，来自行业或政府实验室的物理学家，以及NSF-REU学生参与者。 我们计划的这一部分促进了重要的合作，并促进了向商业部门的技术转让。 研究结果报告，在某些情况下，学生参与者作为共同作者。 此外，学生的正式演讲是在学生，教师和工业科学家每周REU会议。

The NSF-REU Site in Physics at San Jose State University, a modern comprehensive California State University campus, has operated on a year-round basis since 1989, has high minority and female participation, and draws from a large pool of well-qualified undergraduate Physics majors. Most of the ongoing research projects are in the areas of optics, condensed matter, and computational physics - areas that represent the major scientific focus in high-tech Silicon Valley surrounding our campus. These on-going projects provide both experimental and theoretical research experiences for undergraduates in Physics. Our summer program serves under-represented students from universities other than San Jose State, and part of our program provides support for students in industry-university partnerships. These partnerships consist of a Physics faculty member, a physicist from an industry or government laboratory, and an NSF-REU student participant. This part of our program fosters important collaborations and facilitates technology transfer to the commercial sector. Research results are reported with, in some cases, student participants as co-authors. In addition, formal presentations by students are made at weekly REU meetings of students, faculty, and industrial scientists.
