The Wyoming Infrared Observatory Summer Research Program for Undergraduates

怀俄明红外天文台（WIRO）将是1987年夏天美国国家科学基金会资助的本科生研究经验（REU）站点。WIRO暑期项目为本科生提供了观测天体物理学项目、图像处理和仪器的研究机会。该计划的主要目标是：首先，向本科生介绍红外天体物理学研究的充实经验，包括介绍光度和光谱数据分析，图像处理和观测技术；第二，使本科生接触到现代天体物理学中几个不同的研究领域；第三，提供与活跃的专业人士直接合作的机会；第四，将这次研究经历与学生的正规教育联系起来。参加者将来自全国各地的学院和大学。同时进行的学术课程将帮助学生将这些经历置于更广泛的学术背景中，并为课程提供总体方向。怀俄明REU项目是美国国家科学基金会（NSF）努力的一个备受推崇的组成部分，该项目旨在直接让全国高校的本科生参与科学和工程方面的专业基础研究。

The Wyoming Infrared Observatory (WIRO) will be an NSF sponsored Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site for the summer of 1987. The WIRO summer program offers undergraduate students a research opportunity in observational astrophysics projects, image processing and instrumentation. The principal goals of the program are: first, to introduce the undergraduate to a fulfilling experience in infrared astrophysics research, including an introduction to photometric and spectral data analysis, image processing, and observational techniques; second, to expose the undergraduate to several of the diverse research fields in modern astrophysics; third, to offer an opportunity to work directly with active professionals; and fourth, to relate the importance of this research experience to the student's formal education. Participants will come from colleges and universities throughout the nation. A concurrent academic course will help the students place this experience in a wider academic context and provide a general direction of the program. The Wyoming REU program is a highly regarded component of the NSF's effort to directly involve undergraduates at the nation's colleges and universities with professional basic research in science and engineering.
