项目摘要

This three year renewal Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site Program, SUNFEST: Summer Undergraduate Research in Sensor Technologies, at the University of Pennsylvania, will offer a diverse cohort of students from underrepresented groups who have limited opportunities for STEM-oriented research the opportunity to work on research projects involving sensor technologies with the goal to develop new materials and devices. Topics include sensor phenomena, modeling, materials, nano- and micro-technology, sensors for biomedical applications, sensory data processing and sensor systems for robotics. Sensor technology, which acts as a common intellectual focus and which addresses "real-life" applications, can have a huge scientific impact that can benefit society and the environment. The program will also serve as an intellectual hub for others' involvement, such as high school students from city high schools and their teachers. The SUNFEST program will act as a catalyst for broader involvement and a supportive environment for meaningful participation in scientific communities. Over 11 summer weeks, the University of Pennsylvania will host 10 undergraduate students who will be involved in high quality, cutting-edge research projects related to sensor technology. By working on a meaningful research project of their own in a dynamic and supportive environment, students will contribute to academically-based discovery that may lead to better devices and systems for medical, robotics, communications, environmental, energy and surveillance applications. To foster students' development as future researchers, they will participate in weekly group meetings and seminars in their labs. In addition, the REU offers enhancement activities, include workshops on writing proposals and technical reports, responsible conduct of research, applying to graduate school, and effective oral presentations.

宾夕法尼亚大学的这项为期三年的本科生续订研究经验(REU)SITE计划，Sunfest：传感器技术的夏季本科生研究，将为不同群体的学生提供机会，这些学生来自代表不足的群体，他们的STEM导向研究机会有限，他们有机会从事涉及传感器技术的研究项目，目标是开发新材料和器件。主题包括传感器现象、建模、材料、纳米和微技术、生物医学应用的传感器、感官数据处理和机器人传感器系统。传感器技术可以产生巨大的科学影响，造福社会和环境。传感器技术是一个共同的智力焦点，它解决了“现实生活”中的应用。该项目还将成为其他人参与的智力中心，比如城市高中的高中生和他们的老师。Sunfest计划将成为更广泛参与的催化剂，并为有意义地参与科学界提供一个支持性环境。在11个暑假周，宾夕法尼亚大学将接待10名本科生，他们将参与与传感器技术相关的高质量、尖端研究项目。通过在动态和支持性的环境中从事自己有意义的研究项目，学生将为基于学术的发现做出贡献，这些发现可能会导致更好的医疗、机器人、通信、环境、能源和监控应用的设备和系统。为了促进学生作为未来研究人员的发展，他们将参加每周一次的小组会议和实验室的研讨会。此外，研究生院还提供强化活动，包括关于撰写建议书和技术报告的讲习班、负责任的研究工作、申请研究生院以及有效的口头报告。
