This 9-week summer REU Site program will allow undergraduate students to participate in cutting-edge research in the field of electrical engineering and expose them to interdisciplinary aspects of research through a carefully designed program of individually mentored research projects and team activities such as: 1) Weekly Scientific Seminars; 2) Professional Development Workshops in Ethics and Entrepreneurship; and 3) Field Visit Programs. The REU students will be mentored and guided by highly qualified professors and supported by state-of-the-art laboratories. Their research achievements will be documented in the EEREU Annual Research Journal which will be published yearly by this program. The main objective of this program is to strengthen the participants' educational experiences and to motivate them to select electrical engineering research careers or to enter into advanced graduate study. The involvement of undergraduates in engineering research with exposure to ethical issues in technology and society has implications beyond the technical scope of the individual research projects, and the inclusion of entrepreneurship will show how research products from the lab transitions to products that impact society. Recruitment efforts will be carried out nationwide, with emphasis on junior students, especially those from underrepresented groups and in colleges with limited research opportunities.

这个为期9周的夏季REU网站计划将允许本科生参与电气工程领域的前沿研究，并通过精心设计的单独指导的研究项目和团队活动计划，使他们接触到跨学科的研究方面，例如：1）每周科学研讨会; 2）道德和企业家精神的专业发展研讨会;和3）实地考察计划。REU学生将由高素质的教授指导和指导，并得到最先进的实验室的支持。 他们的研究成果将被记录在EEREU年度研究杂志，该杂志将由该计划每年出版。 该计划的主要目标是加强参与者的教育经验，并激励他们选择电气工程研究职业或进入高级研究生学习。 本科生参与工程研究，接触技术和社会中的伦理问题，其影响超出了个人研究项目的技术范围，而创业精神的融入将展示实验室的研究产品如何过渡到影响社会的产品。 招聘工作将在全国范围内进行，重点是大三学生，特别是那些来自代表性不足的群体和研究机会有限的大学的学生。
