REU Site: Penn State Research Experience for Undergraduates and Teachers Program in Condensed Matter Physics and Interdisciplinary Materials Research

宾夕法尼亚州立大学继续运作由宾夕法尼亚州立大学物理系和宾夕法尼亚州立大学材料研究科学与工程中心主办的本科生/教师研究经验（REU/RET）网站。每年招收11名来自不同背景的本科生，进行为期10周的暑期研究。每年有五名教师获得为期六周的夏季研究经验。科学教师和学生主修科学和工程学科参与各种研究项目，在凝聚态物质和材料研究位于宾夕法尼亚州立大学科学和工程系的实验室内。参与者参加每周一次的研讨会，计算机模拟研讨会，机器车间课程，参观纳米制造设施，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。该计划为REU参与者提供了与其他本科生，研究生和博士后研究人员以及杰出教师导师互动的机会。该REU/RET网站由材料研究部和数学和物理科学理事会多学科活动办公室共同资助。

Penn State University continues operation of a Research Experiences for Undergraduates/Teachers (REU/RET) Site hosted by the Penn State Department of Physics and the Penn State Materials Research Science and Engineering Center. Eleven undergraduate students from diverse backgrounds are recruited every year for a ten-week summer research experience. Five teachers are supported every year for a six week summer research experience. Science teachers and students majoring in science and engineering disciplines participate in a variety of research projects in condensed matter and materials research within laboratories located in science and engineering departments at Penn State. Participants attend weekly seminars, workshops on computer simulations, machine shop courses, tour of the nanofabrication facility, a trip to the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia, and present the results of their research at a symposium. The program provides opportunities for the REU participants to interact with other undergraduate, graduate and post doctoral researchers as well as eminent faculty mentors. This REU/RET Site is co-funded by the Division of Materials Research and the Office of Multidisciplinary Activities in the Mathematical and Physical Sciences directorate.
