A new Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site will be located at Texas A&M University's campus in College Station, TX. The Geochemical and Environmental Research Group (GERG) and the Department of Oceanography will host 10 REU students for 10 weeks each summer, and the program will focus on innovative ocean observing technologies. Students will have access to a suite of ocean data acquisition technologies incorporated in TAMU's offshore buoy system, glider technology, remote real-time measurements from moored instrumentation, shipboard field surveys with CTD profiling and water sampling. A group project to develop and deploy a glider mission in the Gulf of Mexico onboard a research vessel will promote team building. Training modules on sensors, data analysis, graphical representation of oceanographic data, data management, and science writing will be provided. Students will participate in weekly REU seminars, and at the program end, they will demonstrate their communication skills with a final written report and a seminar presentation at the GERG REU Student Research Symposium. Although the program is open to students who are US citizens or permanent residents attending any university, local recruitment efforts will be coordinated with faculty in the NSF-funded Alliance for Graduate Education and the Professoriate (AGEP) program which supports mentoring of STEM majors across TAMU branch campuses (Kingsville, Corpus Christi, Prairie View and West Texas).

一个新的本科生研究体验（REU）站点将位于德克萨斯州a&m大学位于大学城的校园，地球化学和环境研究小组（GERG）和海洋系将在每年夏天接待10名REU学生，为期10周，该项目将侧重于创新的海洋观测技术。学生们将有机会获得一套海洋数据采集技术，包括TAMU的海上浮标系统、滑翔机技术、系泊仪器的远程实时测量、利用CTD剖面和水样进行的船上实地调查。在墨西哥湾的一艘研究船上开发和部署滑翔机任务的团体项目将促进团队建设。将提供有关传感器、数据分析、海洋数据图形表示、数据管理和科学写作的培训模块。学生将参加每周一次的REU研讨会，在项目结束时，他们将在GERG REU学生研究研讨会上以书面报告和研讨会演讲的形式展示他们的沟通技巧。虽然该项目对任何大学的美国公民或永久居民开放，但当地的招聘工作将与美国国家科学基金会资助的研究生教育和教授联盟（AGEP）计划的教师协调，该计划支持TAMU分校（金斯维尔，科珀斯克里斯蒂，Prairie View和西德克萨斯州）的STEM专业指导。
