NON-TECHNICAL DESCRIPTIONThe REU site in the School of Physics at Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) enrolls undergraduate students in an immersive summer research experience that provides participants with insights into physics research and encouragement to embark on graduate study. In keeping with the nation's interests in creating a highly-trained, diverse workforce in the STEM disciplines, a partnership between Georgia Tech and the institutions in the Atlanta University Center (AUC) provides an opportunity to recruit and train a diverse group of participants from across the nation. Other components of the site include team-building activities, regular group meetings, a research seminar series, a workshop series (e.g., ethics, presentation skills, graduate opportunities), undergraduate research symposia, and field trips to industrial and/or government laboratories.TECHNICAL DESCRIPTIONUndergraduates will participate in an array of projects in physics, ranging from atomic, molecular and optical physics to condensed matter physics; from biophysics to astrophysics; and from condensed matter to computational physics. The program seeks to enhance interactions between Georgia Tech and the AUC and thereby enhance the capacity for research at predominantly undergraduate minority-serving institutions. Undergraduate summer projects are designed to give the participants maximum flexibility in their experimental approach and to foster development of a beginning researcher into an independent investigator.

非技术实习在物理学院的REU网站在技术（格鲁吉亚理工学院）的格鲁吉亚学院招收本科生在沉浸式的夏季研究经验，为参与者提供深入了解物理研究和鼓励研究生学习。在符合国家的利益，创造一个训练有素的，多样化的劳动力在干学科，格鲁吉亚技术和亚特兰大大学中心（AUC）的机构之间的伙伴关系提供了一个机会，招募和培训来自全国各地的参与者的多元化群体。网站的其他组成部分包括团队建设活动、定期小组会议、研究研讨会系列、讲习班系列（例如，技术培训本科生将参与一系列物理学项目，从原子、分子和光学物理到凝聚态物理;从生物物理到天体物理;从凝聚态物理到计算物理。该计划旨在加强格鲁吉亚理工学院和AUC之间的互动，从而提高主要为本科少数民族服务的机构的研究能力。本科生暑期项目的目的是让参与者在他们的实验方法最大的灵活性，并促进一个开始的研究人员发展成为一个独立的调查。
