The I-MIRTHE REU Site program, affiliated with the NSF Engineering Research Center MIRTHE, trains students in interdisciplinary, cross-institutional, original research in a broadly cast network of research fields under the unifying umbrella of mid-infrared sensor systems research, development, and applications. The program provides students with a cutting-edge educational and research experience that: (1) leads students to independent, original research that is interdisciplinary in nature and has high potential for benefits for society, (2) allows students to experience first-hand the value of collaborative research and teaches the means of effective research communication, (3) encourages and enables the participants to form lasting and broadly cast professional networks with senior students, post-docs, and faculty mentors, (4) fosters diversity in the student population, and (5) provides students who have otherwise limited access to genuine research opportunities with new and potentially career-changing experiences.The program provides scientific training for a diverse and globally competitive work force and it educates and mentors early career students to become leaders in research and development in fields of importance to society. The program actively recruits underrepresented minorities into the STEM fields, and provides students who have limited access to research resources with opportunities to conduct original research with the leaders in the field and at state-of-the-art facilities. The I-MIRTHE REU inspires a new generation of engineering professionals to enter and remain in the STEM fields and conduct groundbreaking research and development to the benefit of society.

I-MIRTHE REU SITE项目隶属于NSF工程研究中心MIRTHE，在中红外传感器系统研究、开发和应用的统一保护伞下，在广泛的研究领域网络中培训学生进行跨学科、跨机构、原创研究。该计划为学生提供尖端的教育和研究体验：(1)引导学生进行独立、原创的研究，这些研究本质上是跨学科的，具有很高的社会利益潜力；(2)允许学生亲身体验合作研究的价值，并教授有效的研究交流手段；(3)鼓励并使参与者能够与高年级学生、博士后和教师导师形成持久和广泛的专业网络；(4)促进学生群体的多样性，以及(5)为原本接触真正研究机会有限的学生提供新的、可能改变职业生涯的经历。该计划为多元化和具有全球竞争力的劳动力提供科学培训，并教育和指导早期职业学生成为社会重要领域的研发领导者。该计划积极招募代表不足的少数族裔进入STEM领域，并为获得研究资源有限的学生提供机会，与该领域的领导者和最先进的设施进行原创研究。I-MIRTHE REU激励新一代工程专业人员进入并留在STEM领域，进行开创性的研究和开发，造福社会。
