0244033 SidersThis award funds a five-year Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Site at the University of Central Florida (UCF) for ten students each summer. The program is designed as a twelve-week summer experience with research opportunities and other educational experiences in the area of optics, lasers, and materials. A primary emphasis of these programs will be on encouraging talented undergraduate students, in particular students from groups underrepresented in research fields in engineering, to pursue graduate studies in the field of optics and lasers. Ten internationally recognized faculty in the School of Optics Center for Research and Education in Optics and Lasers (CREOL) will serve as research supervisors in the program. The program will include (1) Introductory informal coursework on the basic principles of optics, lasers, and optical materials; (2) Research seminars for undergraduates by the School of Optics/CREOL Faculty; (3) Industrial site visits to numerous companies in the area; (4) Seminars, workshops, and discussion sessions on issues of ethics in engineering research; and (5) Continuous monitoring of the students' progress by the principal investigators. The summer program will conclude with a poster session in which the REU students will present their research results to the UCF community.

0244033名学生该奖项资助中佛罗里达大学为期五年的本科生研究体验项目，每年夏季招收10名学生。该项目设计为为期12周的暑期体验，包括光学、激光和材料领域的研究机会和其他教育经验。这些计划的主要重点将是鼓励有才华的本科生，特别是来自工程研究领域代表性不足的群体的学生，在光学和激光领域攻读研究生课程。光学学院光学与激光研究和教育中心(CREOL)的10名国际公认的教员将担任该计划的研究主管。该计划将包括(1)光学、激光和光学材料基本原理的入门非正式课程；(2)由光学学院/CREOL学院为本科生举办的研究研讨会；(3)对该地区许多公司的工业实地访问；(4)关于工程研究中的伦理问题的研讨会、讲习班和讨论会；以及(5)主要研究人员对学生进展的持续监测。暑期项目将以海报环节结束，在海报环节中，REU的学生将向UCF社区展示他们的研究成果。
