REU Site: Berkeley SETI Research Center

该项目将支持加州大学伯克利分校伯克利SETI研究中心的本科生的研究经验。该项目每年将支持8名学生与科学家一起进行为期10周的与寻找外星智慧有关的个人项目。学生将在许多研究领域接受培训，并为未来的科学事业做好准备。这些学生中的许多人将从地区社区学院和其他研究机会有限的学校招募。该项目将在与SETI相关的各个领域对学生进行培训。特别是学生将从事天文学，天体物理学，电气工程，机械工程和计算机科学领域的项目。学生将使用来自各种观测的大型数据集。学生们将在暑期后与导师保持联系，为他们在STEM领域的职业发展提供宝贵的建议。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并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，被认为值得支持。

This project will support research experiences for undergraduate students at the Berkeley SETI Research Center at the University of California-Berkeley. The project will support eight students per year for a 10-week experience working with scientists on individual projects related to the search for extra-terrestrial intelligence. The students will be trained in many areas of research and will be prepared for a future career in the sciences. Many of these students will be recruited from area community colleges and other schools with limited research opportunities.The project will train students in a variety of areas associated with SETI. In particular the students will be engaged in projects drawn from the areas of astronomy, astrophysics, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, and computer science. The students will be working with large data sets from a variety of observations. The students will maintain contact with their mentors after the summer, allowing them to gain valuable advice for furthering their careers in STEM.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.
