Wayne State University offers an REU program to bring disadvantaged students from the Detroit Metro Area to national laboratories over the summer. Opportunities for students are offered at Brookhaven National Laboratory, Fermilab, and at Cornell University's Laboratory for Elementary and Particle Physics. Similar opportunities also exist for in-service teachers through an RET component of the program. WSU recruits a uniquely diverse group of students, largely from underrepresented segments of society. The program consists of a preparation phase involving a one-hour course given over the winter to students and prospective teacher participants (14 hours total). The course introduces the students and teachers to the physical and mathematical concepts relevant for the summer experience. The course also provides an introduction to the computing environment of a large experiment, and a computer homework, which requires the students to write and understand simple programs, produce some graphic output, and write their own web page within a Unix environment. This preparation phase provides the students with intensive faculty interaction, encouragement, and an effort to make sure that student needs are met. Wayne State faculty then travel with the students and teachers to Brookhaven, Fermilab, and Cornell in early June to help them get settled and started. The participants merge with other existing REU programs at each site for social activities, and lectures on various scientific topics.

韦恩州立大学提供了一个REU项目，让底特律都会区的弱势学生在夏天到国家实验室学习。布鲁克海文国家实验室，费米实验室和康奈尔大学的基本和粒子物理实验室为学生提供了机会。 通过该方案的可再生能源技术部分，在职教师也有类似的机会。WSU招收了一批独特的多样化学生，主要来自代表性不足的社会阶层。该计划包括一个准备阶段，包括在冬季为学生和未来的教师参与者提供一个小时的课程（共14小时）。该课程向学生和教师介绍与夏季体验相关的物理和数学概念。本课程还介绍了一个大型实验的计算环境，以及一个计算机作业，要求学生编写和理解简单的程序，产生一些图形输出，并在Unix环境下编写自己的网页。 这个准备阶段为学生提供了密集的教师互动，鼓励，并努力确保学生的需求得到满足。韦恩州立大学的教师随后在6月初与学生和教师一起前往布鲁克海文、费米实验室和康奈尔大学，帮助他们安顿下来并开始工作。参与者在每个站点与其他现有的REU计划合并，用于社会活动和各种科学主题的讲座。
