REU Site: SURFing the Electronics and Electrical Engineering Laboratory

这一名为“为电子和电气工程实验室冲浪”的REU现场项目是美国国家标准与技术研究所(NIST)和美国国家科学基金会(National Science Foundation)的合作伙伴关系，旨在为电气工程和相关测量科学的所有方面提供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从事世界级计量学相关研究的机会。这些学生将与世界公认的科学家和工程师在项目上一对一地合作，这些项目将对基础知识的探索与对国家重要性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，并为本科生提供网络机会，为他们在研究领域的职业生涯做好准备。招聘工作将针对妇女、少数群体和残疾人。该计划将激励学生攻读研究生课程，为研发(R&D)职业生涯做准备。该项目的一个核心目标是向学生展示，研发职业可能是具有挑战性的，但也是令人兴奋的、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.
