ABSTRACTAST 0552387The PI, Dr. Yervant Terzian, will head the Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site program at Cornell University. This is an eight-week summer program for student/mentor research in radio, radar, infrared, and optical astronomy on topics ranging from the solar system to the large-scale structure of the universe. The students will mix with other summer program attendees at Cornell, take part in summer activities within the Space Sciences Department, attend a bi-weekly summer lecture series on various Astronomical topics, and will present their findings at a Summer Student Research Seminar. Students may also accompany their mentors on trips to facilities such as Arecibo Observatory, Kitt Peak National Observatory, the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (Green Bank), or Mt. Palomar. The program to-date has served a range of students, some of whom go on to careers in astronomy, and some of whom find that the experience sets them on a different career path, yet one that is well served by involvement in the REU program.

PI Yervant Terzian博士将领导康奈尔大学本科生研究经验（REU）现场项目。 这是一个为期八周的暑期课程，供学生/导师研究无线电，雷达，红外线和光学天文学，主题从太阳系到宇宙的大尺度结构。 学生们将与康奈尔大学的其他暑期项目参与者混合，参加空间科学系的暑期活动，参加关于各种天文学主题的双周暑期系列讲座，并将在暑期学生研究研讨会上展示他们的发现。 学生还可以陪同他们的导师前往设施，如阿雷西博天文台，基特峰国家天文台，国家射电天文台（绿色银行），或山。帕洛玛 迄今为止，该计划已为一系列学生提供服务，其中一些人继续从事天文学职业，其中一些人发现经验使他们走上了不同的职业道路，但这一点通过参与REU计划得到了很好的服务。
