This Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at the Rochester Institute of Technology provides eight undergraduate students each summer the opportunity to participate in research on topics in physics, mathematics, astrophysics, remote sensing, biomedical imaging, environmental science, vision science, nano-technology, materials science, color science, computer vision and graphics, and microelectronic engineering. In addition to participating in research with an experienced mentor, the REU students will engage in weekly activities to ensure not only that their research stays on track but that they have an engaging collegial and scholarly experience. By the end of the program, every student will have practiced a one-minute "elevator pitch"; given a formal presentation about their work; and prepared a conference poster and a 4-page letter style paper. The REU site will further support five students to present their work at national conferences after the summer.This REU site will have a number of broader impacts. The site has a strong plan to recruit undergraduate students from groups underrepresented in physics, particularly deaf or hard of hearing students and American Indian students. Steps have been taken to provide a culturally safe environment for all students. The proposed evaluation of the project seeks to answer a number of questions that will inform this project and others like it.

罗彻斯特理工学院的本科生研究体验（REU）网站每年夏天为八名本科生提供参与物理学、数学、天体物理学、遥感、生物医学成像、环境科学、视觉科学、纳米技术、材料科学、色彩科学、计算机视觉和图形学以及微电子工程等主题研究的机会。除了与经验丰富的导师一起参与研究外，REU的学生还将参加每周的活动，不仅确保他们的研究保持在轨道上，而且确保他们有一个引人入胜的大学和学术经历。到课程结束时，每个学生都将练习一分钟的“电梯演讲”；对他们的工作进行正式的介绍；准备了一张会议海报和一份四页的信件式论文。REU网站将进一步支持五名学生在夏季后的国家会议上展示他们的工作。该REU站点将产生许多更广泛的影响。该网站有一个强有力的计划，从物理学中代表性不足的群体中招收本科生，特别是聋哑或重听学生和美国印第安人学生。已采取措施为所有学生提供一个文化安全的环境。该项目的建议评估旨在回答一些问题，这些问题将为本项目和其他类似项目提供信息。
