This award supports the renewal of the Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) and Research Experience for Teachers (RET) site in physics at Brigham Young University. The program will develop students' abilities in physics research by hands-on experiences. Direct mentoring and group training will help the students acquire the skills needed to get started in research. Group training will include instruction in experimental and computational techniques, preparation for graduate school, and scientific writing and presentations. Students will also benefit from close mentoring by faculty. This contact will give them role models for professional ethics and standards and opportunities to discuss many aspects of graduate school opportunities and careers in physics and related fields. The RET component will impact the experience of secondary teachers who participate in the program but also the students they teach. RET participants will be encouraged to look for ways to incorporate their summer experiences in their classroom.Participating students and teachers will participate in a ten-week summer physics research program in computational plasma physics, ultrafast nonlinear optics, experimental and computational condensed matter physics, x-ray and XUV sources and optics, microfabrication technology, visible astronomy, or materials science. Participants will experience the joy of research by being involved in a research project from proposal presentation through performing the research and reporting results.

该奖项支持杨百翰大学物理学本科生研究经验（REU）和教师研究经验（RET）网站的更新。 该计划将通过实践经验培养学生的物理研究能力。直接指导和小组培训将帮助学生获得开始研究所需的技能。小组培训将包括实验和计算技术的指导，研究生院的准备，科学写作和演示。 学生也将受益于教师的密切指导。这种接触将为他们提供职业道德和标准的榜样，并有机会讨论研究生院的机会和物理及相关领域的职业生涯的许多方面。 可再生能源技术的组成部分将影响参与该方案的中学教师的经验，也影响他们所教的学生的经验。RET将鼓励参与者寻找将他们的暑期经验融入课堂的方法，参与的学生和教师将参加为期十周的暑期物理研究计划，涉及计算等离子体物理，超快非线性光学，实验和计算凝聚态物理，X射线和XUV源和光学，微细加工技术，可见光天文学或材料科学。参与者将通过参与研究项目，从提案提交到执行研究和报告结果，体验研究的乐趣。
