The Hope College REU program is intended to provide students with an opportunity to have a significant research experience which will enhance their desire to undertake a research career. The projects available to the students come from a wide variety of specialties in physics, astrophysics, engineering and environmental science. The eight REU student researchers, and a similar number supported by other sources, will work side-by-side with the faculty in the lab with daily personal contact. Research with undergraduates has a long history at Hope College and in the Department of Physics and Engineering. The involvement in meaningful research cements and augments the basics learned in the classroom and readies the student for a career in science. For over thirty years Hope students have benefitted from the close association with faculty in the laboratory. Working exclusively with undergraduates, these faculty understand that the research lab is an extension of the learning process and also that the research done by the students in invaluable in achieving research goals. The students are involved in the planning, execution, interpretation and dissemination of the research. Students will present their results and prepare posters. Funds are available to support travel to a meeting. Special efforts will be made to attract applications from qualified females and members of underrepresented minorities and students that are less likely to have research opportunities at their home institution.

霍普学院REU项目旨在为学生提供一个有重要研究经验的机会，这将增强他们从事研究事业的愿望。提供给学生的项目来自物理学、天体物理学、工程学和环境科学等各个专业。8名REU学生研究人员，以及其他来源支持的类似数量的研究人员，将与实验室的教职员工并肩工作，并进行日常的个人接触。在霍普学院和物理与工程系，与本科生一起进行研究有着悠久的历史。参与有意义的研究巩固和增强了在课堂上学到的基础知识，并为学生从事科学事业做好了准备。三十多年来，霍普的学生从与实验室教师的密切联系中受益。这些教师只与本科生合作，他们明白研究实验室是学习过程的延伸，而且学生所做的研究对实现研究目标至关重要。学生参与研究的策划、执行、解释和传播。学生们将展示他们的成果并准备海报。有资金支持参加会议的旅费。将作出特别努力，吸引合格的女性和代表性不足的少数民族成员以及不太可能在其本国机构获得研究机会的学生的申请。
