REU Site: SURFing the Electronics and Electrical Engineering Laboratory

REU 站点项目名为“SURFing the Electronics and Electrical Engineering Laboratory”，是美国国家标准与技术研究所 (NIST) 和美国国家科学基金会之间的合作伙伴关系，旨在提供电气工程和相关测量科学各个方面的夏季本科生研究奖学金 (SURF)。 SURF 项目为本科生（我们国家的下一代科学家和工程师）提供了在 NIST 从事世界一流的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一对一地合作开展项目，这些项目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。 该项目将允许学生从事明确定义的项目、参加研讨会、学生座谈会，并为本科生提供社交机会，为他们从事研究职业做好准备。招聘工作将针对妇女、少数族裔和残疾人。该计划将激励学生攻读研究生课程，为研究与开发 (R&D) 职业生涯做好准备。 该项目的核心目标是向学生展示研发职业充满挑战，但也令人兴奋、灵活且回报丰厚。

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.
