Recent advances in nanomaterials and device physics have brought about new frontiers in undergraduate education and training. To address these scientific challenges and to significantly broaden outreach to underrepresented minority and women's groups in science and engineering, the University of California-Los Angeles (UCLA) will conduct a REU Site program, An Integrated Diversity Undergraduate Research Experience in Functional NanoMaterials (FNM) in partnership with the Center for Function Accelerated nanoMaterial Engineering (FAME) at UCLA. FAME is a long-standing effective industry-academia partnership, with world-leading research and competencies in unconventional materials and new correlated physics for next-generation device technologies. The REU research projects will focus on world-class unconventional materials and device physics for next-generation um and nm-scale electronics and optoelectronics. UCLA will host 10 REU students over a 10-week summer program where they will participate in interdisciplinary research projects on functional nanomaterials. Mentoring and cohesive cohort-wide activities will be central tenets to this REU. FNM will implement weekly faculty-student updates and discussions, weekly REU site-wide professional development and cross-training workshops, in addition to external periodic surveys with feedback action items, and a cumulative symposium for the REU scholars.

纳米材料和器件物理学的最新进展为本科教育和培训带来了新的前沿。为了解决这些科学挑战，并显着扩大外展，以代表性不足的少数民族和妇女团体在科学和工程，加州大学洛杉矶分校（UCLA）将进行一个REU网站程序，在功能纳米材料（FNM）的综合多样性本科生研究经验与中心的合作伙伴关系功能加速纳米材料工程（FAME）在加州大学洛杉矶分校。FAME是一个长期有效的工业-学术合作伙伴关系，在非常规材料和下一代器件技术的新相关物理方面拥有世界领先的研究和能力。REU的研究项目将集中在世界级的非常规材料和下一代的微米和纳米级电子和光电子器件物理。 加州大学洛杉矶分校将在为期10周的暑期课程中接待10名REU学生，他们将参加功能纳米材料的跨学科研究项目。 指导和有凝聚力的群体范围内的活动将是该REU的中心原则。FNM将实施每周师生更新和讨论，每周REU网站范围内的专业发展和交叉培训研讨会，除了外部定期调查与反馈行动项目，并为REU学者累积研讨会。
