The University of Arizona continues operating a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site. The REU Site utilizes electron microscopy, optical characterization and other microanalytical tools as common thread in several research projects on materials synthesis and processing. Eight undergraduate students are recruited every year for a ten-week summer research experience, with a recruitment focus on undergraduates from underrepresented groups. In addition to participating in individual research projects, REU students take a one-week course on electron microscopy or optical characterization, attend a workshop on ethics in research, and participate in group social activities. The REU Site includes a Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) component. Eight teachers are recruited every year for a six-week summer research experience.The REU Site also has an international component by which two returning undergraduates and two returning teachers spend four weeks in one of the laboratories at the Thailand National Science and Technology Development Agency. Teachers that go to Thailand spend two more weeks in the RET experience than those who stay in the US. Undergraduates and teachers participate in one of four collaborative research projects between US and Thai senior investigators.

亚利桑那大学继续经营本科生研究经验（REU）网站。 REU网站利用电子显微镜，光学表征和其他微分析工具作为材料合成和加工的几个研究项目的共同线索。 每年招收八名本科生进行为期十周的夏季研究体验，招聘重点是来自代表性不足群体的本科生。 除了参加个人研究项目外，REU学生还参加为期一周的电子显微镜或光学表征课程，参加研究伦理研讨会，并参加团体社交活动。REU网站包括教师研究经验（RET）组件。REU网站也有一个国际组成部分，其中两名返回的本科生和两名返回的教师在泰国国家科学和技术发展署的一个实验室度过四周。 去泰国的教师比留在美国的教师多花两周时间进行RET体验。本科生和教师参加美国和泰国高级研究人员之间的四个合作研究项目之一。
