Abstract: This award provides renewed funding for a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program at the Marine Advanced Technology Education (MATE) Center of Monterey Peninsula Community College (MPCC). Although this program represents a new site for REU, the PI had funding for an internship program (NSF/OCE 0510158). The requested program will provide twelve internships per year for undergraduates who are interested in careers as marine technicians. The interns will work on U.S. academic research vessels represented by the University National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS) and United States Coast Guard vessels. The interns will spend from one to eight weeks (with an average of 4 weeks per internship) working on these vessels. The MATE Center's marine technical internship program helps to prepare undergraduatestudents for ocean-related occupations. The program targets community college studentsenrolled in marine science and technology programs and university students interested inmarine technical careers. The program makes a substantial effort to recruit students who aretraditionally unrepresented in science and technical disciplines. MATE interns will work with marine technicians and scientists onboard research vessels, which provides them with the opportunity to develop their technical, scientific, seamanship, and interpersonal skills. To date, more than two-thirds of the student interns have gone on to work in a marine related science or technical field or to continue their education in a marine-related discipline. The site will be supported by the Department of Defense in partnership with the NSF REU Program.

摘要：该奖项为蒙特利半岛社区学院(MPCC)海洋高级技术教育(Mate)中心的本科生研究体验(REU)项目提供了新的资金。尽管这一计划代表着REU的一个新网站，但PI有一个实习计划的资金(国家科学基金会/开放教育组织0510158)。申请的项目将每年为对海洋技术员职业感兴趣的本科生提供12个实习机会。实习生将在以大学国家海洋实验室系统(UN LS)和美国海岸警卫队船只为代表的美国学术研究船上工作。实习生将在这些船只上工作一到八周(每个实习平均4周)。Mate中心的海洋技术实习计划帮助本科生为与海洋相关的职业做准备。该计划面向社区大学生和对海洋技术职业感兴趣的大学生。该计划在招收传统上在科学和技术学科中没有代表性的学生方面做出了很大努力。Mate实习生将在科考船上与海洋技术人员和科学家一起工作，这为他们提供了发展技术、科学、航海和人际交往技能的机会。到目前为止，超过三分之二的实习生继续在与海洋有关的科学或技术领域工作，或在与海洋有关的学科中继续深造。该网站将由国防部与NSF REU计划合作提供支持。
