REU Site: RET: Penn State Physics Department Research Experience for Undergraduates and Teachers Program

宾夕法尼亚州立大学继续运作本科生研究经验（REU）网站。REU网站隶属于宾夕法尼亚州立大学物理系。每年招收18名本科生进行为期10周的夏季研究。学生参加各种凝聚态和材料物理学的研究项目，无论是在物理系和宾夕法尼亚州立大学纳米科学中心。学生们还参加每周的研讨会，计算机模拟研讨会，机械车间课程和设施图尔斯之旅，包括前往费城的富兰克林研究所，并在研讨会上展示他们的研究成果。REU网站每年还支持五名教师进行五到八周的夏季研究经验。除了与特定的教师顾问的研究活动，鼓励教师与其他教师在教学法上互动，并报名参加为期两周的材料力学互动课程，以促进材料主题纳入课堂课程。

Penn State University continues operation of a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site. The REU Site is affiliated with the Department of Physics at Penn State. Eighteen undergraduate students are recruited every year for a ten-week summer research experience. Students participate in a variety of research projects in condensed matter and materials physics, both within the Physics Department and the Center for Nanoscale Science at Penn State. Students also attend weekly seminars, workshops on computer simulations, machine shop courses and facility tours, including a trip to the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia, and present the results of their research at a symposium.The REU Site also supports five teachers every year for a five-to-eight week summer research experience. In addition to research activities with a specific faculty advisor, teachers are encouraged to interact with other faculty members on pedagogy and to enroll in a two-week long interactive course on the mechanics of materials that facilitates incorporation of materials topics into their classroom curriculum.
