SUNFEST: Summer Undergraduate Research Program in Sensor Technology

该奖项支持宾夕法尼亚大学为期五年的本科生研究经验（REU）网站，名为“SUNFEST -夏季本科生传感器技术研究计划”。REU网站将提供一个为期11周的夏季研究经验，为10名本科生在传感器技术的一般领域。这个项目的目标是激发学生对研究的兴趣，并鼓励他们通过追求研究生学位继续学习。该计划将特别努力招收那些很少或没有机会进行本科生研究活动的大学的学生。该项目还将重点吸引来自工程研究领域中代表性不足的群体的学生。学生将参与根据其教育价值和适合本科研究而选择的研究项目。研究课题将包括传感的新方法；传感器与材料技术；传感器和微结构的建模与设计；仿生传感器;还有传感器系统。

0244055 Van Der SpiegelThis award supports a five-year Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Site at the University of Pennsylvania entitled "SUNFEST - Summer Undergraduate Research Program in Sensor Technology". The REU Site will provide an eleven-week summer research experience for ten undergraduate students in the general area of sensor technologies. The goal of this program is to excite students' interest in research and encourage them to continue their studies through pursuit of a graduate degree. The program will make a special effort to recruit students from colleges with little or no opportunity for research activities for undergraduate students. The program will also focus on attracting students from groups underrepresented in research fields in engineering. Students will participate in research projects chosen for their educational value and appropriateness for undergraduate research. Research topics will include novel approaches to sensing; sensors and materials technology; modeling and design of sensors and microstructures; bio-inspired sensors; and sensor systems.
