The Training and Research Experiences in Nonlinear Dynamics (TREND) REU Site focuses on nonlinear dynamics because of its wide applicability to increasingly important state-of-the-art research areas and because its consideration of simple systems is particularly suited to achieve our goal of involving undergraduates in front-line research. The program is located in the Institute for Research in Electronics and Applied Physics (IREAP) of the University of Maryland, an interdisciplinary center, which brings together faculty from engineering and physical sciences. The program involves ten students who will spend 11 weeks in the summer on campus involved in research in small teams consisting of undergraduates, graduate students and facultyadvisors. Research projects will be theoretical, experimental or both. Examples of research topics are: theoretical studies of chaos in time and space, experimental studies of patterns in granular media, the development of singularities in fluids and solids, nonlinear dynamics in optical systems, nonlinear dynamics in charged particle beams and devices, and turbulence and nonlinear phenomena in plasmas. A seminar series will be given to complement and reinforce the learning experience. Students will present the results of their research at a mini-conference at the end of the session. They will also be encouraged to maintain contact with group members to further their research findings and prepare them for publication in journals and presentation at national meetings. Targeted students are top undergraduates who have completed their sophomore year in the Physical Sciences and Engineering and who are interested in the possibility of a career in research and/or education. Effort will be made to recruit students from under represented groups and students from schools lacking similar research opportunities. An equal balance between University of Maryland and non-University of Maryland students will be maintained. This site is supported by the Department of Defense in partnership with the NSF REU program.

在非线性动力学（趋势）REU网站的培训和研究经验侧重于非线性动力学，因为它的广泛适用性日益重要的国家的最先进的研究领域，因为它的简单系统的考虑是特别适合实现我们的目标，涉及本科生在一线研究。该计划位于马里兰州大学电子与应用物理研究所（IREAP），这是一个跨学科中心，汇集了工程和物理科学的教师。 该计划涉及10名学生，他们将在夏季在校园内度过11周，参与由本科生，研究生和教师顾问组成的小团队的研究。研究项目将是理论，实验或两者兼而有之。研究课题的例子有：时间和空间中混沌的理论研究，粒状介质中模式的实验研究，流体和固体中奇点的发展，光学系统中的非线性动力学，带电粒子束和设备中的非线性动力学，以及等离子体中的湍流和非线性现象。将举办一系列研讨会，以补充和加强学习经验。 学生们将在会议结束时的小型会议上展示他们的研究成果。还将鼓励他们与小组成员保持联系，以促进他们的研究成果，并准备在期刊上发表和在国家会议上介绍。 目标学生是顶尖的本科生谁已经完成了他们的大二在物理科学和工程，谁有兴趣在研究和/或教育事业的可能性。 将努力从代表性不足的群体和缺乏类似研究机会的学校招收学生。 将保持马里兰州大学和非马里兰州大学学生之间的平等平衡。 该网站由国防部与NSF REU计划合作支持。
