This Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at Texas A&M University - Commerce provides opportunities to eight students from community colleges each summer for ten weeks of research on topics in astrophysics, astronomy, computational physics, engineering physics, optics, material sciences and nuclear physics. 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 written a research report and presented the results of their work in a talk. This REU site will have a number of broader impacts with its focus on providing research opportunities to undergraduates to help prepare them for future science, technology, engineering, and mathematics careers. Additionally, the site focuses on providing research opportunities to students from community colleges and assists them with the transition to a four-year college. The site has put strategies in place to ensure that non-traditional students, many of whom have families, are able to participate in a summer research experience.

这项针对德克萨斯农工大学本科生（REU）网站的研究经验 - 商业为每年夏天的八名学生提供了关于天体物理学，天文学，计算物理学，工程物理学，光学，材料，材料科学和核物理学的八个学生的机会。除了与经验丰富的导师一起参加研究之外，REU学生还将每周参加活动，以确保他们的研究保持正轨，而且还具有吸引人的大学和学术经验。在计划结束时，每个学生都会写一份研究报告，并在演讲中介绍他们的工作结果。此REU网站将产生更广泛的影响，其重点是提供研究机会，以帮助他们为未来的科学，技术，工程和数学职业做好准备。此外，该网站着重于为社区大学的学生提供研究机会，并协助他们过渡到四年制大学。该网站已经制定了策略，以确保非传统学生（其中许多都有家庭）能够参加夏季研究经验。
