The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) operates a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) site in its Materials Science and Engineering Laboratory (MSEL) as part of a NIST-wide activity hosting 110-120 undergraduate students working in all seven Laboratories. Students are recruited from across the country for an eleven-week summer research experience, with an emphasis on recruitment of members of underrepresented groups in science and engineering. Students in MSEL participate in a wide range of research in the areas of ceramics, solid state chemistry, metallurgy, polymers, neutron condensed matter science, and materials reliability. In addition, students attend a weekly seminar series and participate in various social activities. The REU students have access to exceptional instrumentation and facilities at NIST. The experience includes an early and valuable exposure to the interdisciplinary research environment of a national laboratory.

美国国家标准与技术研究所(NIST)在其材料科学与工程实验室(MSEL)开设了本科生研究体验(REU)网站，这是NIST范围内所有七个实验室接待110-120名本科生的活动的一部分。从全国各地招募学生进行为期11周的暑期研究体验，重点是招募科学和工程领域代表性不足的群体的成员。MSEL的学生参与陶瓷、固态化学、冶金、聚合物、中子凝聚态科学和材料可靠性等领域的广泛研究。此外，学生还参加每周一次的系列研讨会，并参加各种社会活动。REU的学生可以使用NIST的特殊仪器和设施。这些经验包括及早和有价值地接触到国家实验室的跨学科研究环境。
