REU Site: SURFing the Electronics and Electrical Engineering Laboratory

这个名为“冲浪电子和电气工程实验室”的REU网站计划是国家标准与技术研究所（NIST）和国家科学基金会之间的合作伙伴关系，在电气工程和相关测量科学的各个方面提供夏季本科生研究奖学金（SURF）。SURF计划为本科生，我们国家的下一代科学家和工程师提供了在NIST从事世界级计量相关研究的机会。学生们将与世界知名的科学家和工程师进行一对一的项目合作，将对基础知识的探索与对国家重要问题的直接应用相结合。该计划将允许学生从事明确定义的项目，参加研讨会，参加学生座谈会，并为本科生提供交流机会，为他们从事研究工作做好准备。招聘工作将以妇女、少数民族和残疾人为对象。该计划将激励学生攻读研究生课程，为研究和开发（R&amp；D）的职业生涯做准备。该项目的一个核心目标是向学生展示研发领域的职业可以是具有挑战性的，但也可以是令人兴奋的、灵活的和有益的。

This REU Site program entitled "SURFing the Electronics and Electrical Engineering Laboratory" is a partnership between the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the National Science Foundation to provide summer undergraduate research fellowships (SURF) in all aspects of electrical engineering and related measurement science. The SURF program provides opportunities for undergraduates, our nation's next generation of scientists and engineers, to engage in world-class metrology-related research at NIST. The students will work one-on-one with world-recognized scientists and engineers on projects that combine the quest for fundamental knowledge with direct applications to problems of national importance. The program will allow students to work on clearly defined projects, participate in seminars, participate in student colloquiums, and provide the undergraduates with networking opportunities that will prepare them for careers in research. Recruiting efforts will be targeted to women, minorities and persons with disabilities. The program will motivate students to pursue graduate programs in preparation for careers in research and development (R&D). A core goal of the program is to show students that careers in R&D can be challenging, but also exciting, flexible and rewarding.
