This three-year REU site program at the University of Maine will engage eight undergraduates per year in hands-on research experiences in sensor science and engineering. The REU program will be integrated with the PIs' Graduate Teaching Fellows in K-12 Education (GK-12) and Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) programs. REU participants will have the opportunity to interact with faculty research mentors, graduate students, post-docs, technicians, visiting scientists, and middle and high school teachers. REU students, GK-12 fellows, IGERT fellows, and RET participants will participate in field trips to Maine companies that perform sensor research such as The Jackson Laboratory and Spectral Solutions. They will also participate in weekly seminars in the area of sensors given by invited speakers, faculty research mentors, graduate students, and visiting scientists. Weekend recreational activities will be an integral part of the program and will enhance the REU students' sense of community and improve their research group dynamics.In addition to the research experience, REU students will participate in two complementary courses, INT 398 Undergraduate Research Participation and ECE 465 Introduction to Sensors. Each student will receive three credits for each course. At the end of the research experience, students will present their research in conference format and submit a written report or co-author paper(s) for publication in peer-reviewed journals and/or symposia.Recruitment efforts will be targeted to women and minorities and students at non-PhD granting institutions. Research results will be disseminated through campus presentations and more broadly through professional journals and symposia. Society will benefit as undergraduates, as a result of their participation in their research experiences, choose to continue in graduate school or to excel in technologically and scientifically challenging careers that advance such areas as homeland security, food safety, transportation, communications, and medicine.

这个为期三年的REU网站计划在缅因州大学每年将从事八名本科生在传感器科学和工程的实践研究经验。 REU计划将与PI在K-12教育（GK-12）和教师研究经验（RET）计划中的研究生教学研究员相结合。 REU参与者将有机会与教师研究导师，研究生，博士后，技术人员，访问科学家以及初中和高中教师进行互动。 REU学生，GK-12研究员，IGERT研究员和RET参与者将参加实地考察缅因州公司进行传感器研究，如杰克逊实验室和光谱解决方案。 他们还将参加由特邀演讲者，教师研究导师，研究生和访问科学家提供的传感器领域的每周研讨会。周末娱乐活动将是该计划的一个组成部分，将增强REU学生的社区意识，提高他们的研究小组的动态。除了研究经验，REU学生将参加两个补充课程，INT 398本科生研究参与和ECE 465介绍传感器。 每个学生每门课程将获得三个学分。 在研究经验结束时，学生将以会议形式展示他们的研究，并提交书面报告或共同作者论文（S）在同行评议的期刊和/或研讨会上发表。招聘工作将针对妇女和少数民族以及非博士授予机构的学生。 研究成果将通过校园演讲和更广泛地通过专业期刊和研讨会传播。 社会将受益于本科生，由于他们在他们的研究经验参与的结果，选择继续在研究生院或在技术和科学上具有挑战性的职业，推进如国土安全，食品安全，交通，通信和医学等领域的卓越。
