The Fairfield University Research Experiences for Undergraduates Program in Mathematics and Computational Science is an eight-week summer program designed to engage talented undergraduates in original mathematics and computing research, beyond the college curriculum. The program hosts nine students per summer, providing on-campus housing and student stipends. The participants spend their time working and learning in small groups, with each group in close consultation with an individual Fairfield University faculty mentor on research topics drawn from the mentor's field of expertise. The principal goal of the program is to prepare the participants for research-based scientific careers, and to engender in each student a deep understanding not only of the importance of individual scientific research, but also of the broader context of collaboration into which that research fits. This is achieved by providing the students with the experience of a research cohort. This collaborative research environment - students working with faculty and with each other - also allows for the general advancement of the mathematics and computing disciplines, and fosters the continuing scholarly and pedagogical development of all the academic professionals involved.

费尔菲尔德大学数学和计算科学本科生研究经验项目是一个为期八周的夏季项目，旨在让有才华的本科生参与大学课程之外的原创数学和计算研究。该计划每年夏天接待9名学生，提供校内住宿和学生津贴。参与者花时间在小组中工作和学习，每个小组都与费尔菲尔德大学的教师导师就导师专业领域的研究课题进行密切磋商。该计划的主要目标是为参与者做好以研究为基础的科学事业的准备，并使每个学生不仅对个人科学研究的重要性有深刻的理解，而且对该研究适合的更广泛的合作背景也有深刻的理解。这是通过为学生提供研究队列的经验来实现的。这种合作研究环境-学生与教师和彼此合作-也允许数学和计算学科的普遍进步，并促进所有相关学术专业人员的持续学术和教学发展。
