Washington State University's Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Site on "Characterization of Advanced Materials" has been in operation since 1999. Faculty from Mechanical and Materials Engineering, Chemistry, Civil Engineering, and Chemical Engineering design projects suitable for undergraduate students each summer. These projects use advanced materials characterization techniques such as electron microscopy, scanning probe microscopy, and other methods to understand the relationships between the processing, structure and properties of materials. Eleven undergraduate students including freshmen and sophomores from a wide variety of disciplines and schools are recruited nationwide every year for a ten-week summer research experience, coupled with a short overview tutorial on the breadth of techniques to be used by the student researchers. The Site also adds new faculty members over its life to encourage starting faculty to provide significant undergraduate research experiences. In addition, students attend a short series of workshops on the use of the various characterization instruments and tools. Students present their work in a campus wide poster session at the end of the summer. This site is co-funded by the Department of Defense in partnership with the NSF REU program and the NSF Division of Materials Research in the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Directorate.

华盛顿州立大学的本科生研究经验（REU）网站“先进材料的表征”自1999年以来一直在运作。机械与材料工程、化学、土木工程和化学工程学院每年夏季设计适合本科生的项目。这些项目使用先进的材料表征技术，如电子显微镜、扫描探针显微镜和其他方法来了解材料的加工、结构和性能之间的关系。每年在全国范围内招募11名来自不同学科和学校的本科生，包括大一和大二的学生，进行为期10周的暑期研究体验，并提供关于学生研究人员使用的技术广度的简短概述教程。该网站还增加了新的教职员工，以鼓励新教职员工提供重要的本科研究经验。此外，学生还参加一系列关于使用各种表征仪器和工具的讲习班。夏季结束时，学生们会在全校范围内的海报会上展示他们的作品。该站点由国防部与NSF REU项目以及NSF数学和物理科学理事会材料研究部合作资助。
