The Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Site at the College of Wooster is affiliated with the Physics Department and has been continuously funded since 1994 by the Division of Materials Research, National Science Foundation. The aim of this summer program is to guide undergraduate students in cutting-edge research and motivate them to pursue science careers. Eight undergraduates from predominantly undergraduate institutions or students early in their college careers are recruited every year for this ten-week-long program. These students are closely mentored by faculty members and participate in research projects in the areas of condensed matter physics and nonlinear dynamics. Specific projects include critical phenomena in liquid mixtures, pattern formation, liquid crystals, cellular automata, stochastic resonance, and chaos in celestial mechanics. REU students also attend local research seminars, workshop on science research ethics, regional or national research conferences, and organized social activities in Wooster and nearby towns in Ohio.

伍斯特学院的本科生研究经验（REU）网站隶属于物理系，自1994年以来一直由国家科学基金会材料研究部资助。 这个暑期项目的目的是指导本科生进行前沿研究，并激励他们追求科学事业。每年从主要的本科院校或学生在他们的大学生涯早期的八名本科生被招募为这个为期十周的计划。这些学生由教师密切指导，并参与凝聚态物理和非线性动力学领域的研究项目。 具体项目包括液体混合物中的临界现象、图案形成、液晶、细胞自动机、随机共振和天体力学中的混沌。REU学生还参加当地的研究研讨会，科学研究伦理研讨会，区域或国家研究会议，并在伍斯特和俄亥俄州附近城镇组织社会活动。
