0243779 Aucin闭幕式该奖项资助罗切斯特大学为期三年的本科生研究经验(REU)站点，以获得光学科学和工程方面的研究机会。REU的网站将设在罗切斯特大学工程与应用科学学院的光学研究所。学生将与学院的教职员工一起工作，并在相关的现场设施-罗切斯特光学科学与工程理论中心、罗切斯特量子信息中心、下一代原子芯片量子信息技术中心、未来健康中心、视觉科学中心、激光能量实验室、光学制造中心和电子成像系统中心-体验光学领域的跨学科性质。该计划包括机械加工和电子的小型课程，以及研究生入学考试(GRE)的准备工作。REU的学生将有机会参加每周一次的午餐会，由大学教员和附属工业研究人员进行非正式演讲，参观工业研究设施，并参加当地社区遗址和活动的郊游。该计划旨在培养参与者进行合作研究的能力。这个REU网站为学生提供了一种前沿研究的体验，与支持科学事业的教学、指导和社区推广活动相结合。该项目将在全国范围内招生，以努力吸引在工程学研究领域代表性不足的人群的学生。

0243779 AuchinclossThis award funds a three-year Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Site at the University of Rochester for research opportunities in optical science and engineering. The REU site will be based at the Institute of Optics in the University of Rochester's School of Engineering and Applied Science. Student participants will work with faculty at the institute and experience the interdisciplinary nature of the field of optics at related on-site facilities - The Rochester Theory Center for Optical Science and Engineering, the Rochester Center for Quantum Information, the Center for the Next-Generation Atom Chips for Quantum Information Technology, the Center for Future Health, the Center for Visual Science, the Laboratory for Laser Energetics, the Center for Optics Manufacturing, and the Center for Electronic Imaging Systems. The program includes mini courses in machining and electronics as well as preparation for the Graduate Record Exam (GRE). REU students will have the opportunity to attend weekly lunches with informal presentations by university faculty and affiliated industrial researchers; tour industrial research facilities; and participate in outings to local community sites and events. The program aims to foster participants' capacity to undertake collaborative research. This REU site offers students an experience in forefront research integrated with the teaching, mentoring, and community outreach activities that sustain scientific enterprise. The program will recruit students nationwide with an effort to attract students from population groups that are underrepresented in research fields in engineering.
