This renewal Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site at the University of Maine (UMaine) focuses on sensor science and engineering research which is of high interest to the consumer, national defense, and homeland security, and reflects one of the top research strengths at UMaine. UMaine's sensor science and engineering research ranges from basic theoretical studies to the design, fabrication, and testing of prototype sensors for chemical and biological agents related to environmental contamination and terrorism; biomarkers for cancer detection, diagnosing nerve damage; high temperature sensors for monitoring and improving the efficiency of jet engines and turbines for power generation (coal or natural gas); and optical sensors for environmental monitoring. Other areas of research relate to using artificial intelligence to combine and analyze large data sets obtained from networked sensors, and exploring climate change through supercomputer visualizations. The program will provide state-of-the art, interdisciplinary research and problem solving opportunities for a diverse cohort of REU participants. Undergraduates will utilize their new knowledge to solve real-life research problems that impact society. Society will benefit as undergraduates, as a result of their research experiences, choose to continue in graduate school to excel in technologically and scientifically challenging careers that advance such areas as homeland security, food safety, transportation, communications, and medicine.The REU program will offer a 10-week intensive summer research experience, for a total of 30 students, over a three year period. The program will include: 1) individual research projects with faculty research mentors utilizing specialized sensor science and engineering research facilities, 2) ethics training, 3) student meetings, 4) seminars, 5) field trips, 6) student presentations, and 7) career guidance, networking opportunities, and mentorship. A special effort will be made to recruit women and minorities and provide research experiences for students at non-PhD granting institutions. The REU participants will also interact with middle and high school teachers who were past REU and GK-12 participants to share their research experiences with middle and high school students, and provide a further role model for these students.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

这个更新的研究经验为本科生（REU）网站在缅因州（U缅因州）的大学侧重于传感器科学和工程研究，这是高度感兴趣的消费者，国防和国土安全，并反映了在U缅因州的顶级研究实力之一。UMaine的传感器科学和工程研究范围从基础理论研究到与环境污染和恐怖主义有关的化学和生物制剂的原型传感器的设计，制造和测试;癌症检测的生物标志物，诊断神经损伤;用于监测和提高喷气发动机和涡轮发电效率的高温传感器（煤或天然气）;以及用于环境监测的光学传感器。其他研究领域涉及使用人工智能来联合收割机和分析从网络传感器获得的大型数据集，以及通过超级计算机可视化来探索气候变化。该计划将提供国家的最先进的，跨学科的研究和解决问题的机会，为REU参与者的多样化队列。本科生将利用他们的新知识来解决影响社会的现实研究问题。社会将受益于本科生，由于他们的研究经验，选择继续在研究生院在技术和科学上具有挑战性的职业生涯中脱颖而出，推动国土安全，食品安全，交通，通信和医学等领域。REU计划将提供为期10周的密集夏季研究经验，共有30名学生，为期三年。该方案将包括：1）利用专门的传感器科学和工程研究设施与教师研究导师进行的个人研究项目，2）道德培训，3）学生会议，4）研讨会，5）实地考察，6）学生演示，以及7）职业指导，网络机会和导师。将作出特别努力，招聘妇女和少数民族，并为非博士授予机构的学生提供研究经验。REU的参与者还将与过去的REU和GK-12参与者的初中和高中教师进行互动，与初中和高中学生分享他们的研究经验，并为这些学生提供进一步的榜样。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估来支持。
