Research Experience for Undergraduates in Sensor Technologies

本提案要求更新传感器技术研究领域九名本科生的REU计划。REU活动将成为传感器技术中心的一部分，该中心为教师和学生提供设施（实验室，设备和仪器），以进行互动和协作，交流思想和共享资源。项目主题包括光学、机械和热传感器；micromaching;包装;神经网络。基于传感器;还有传感器接口。这个创新中心及其相关教师可以为本科生提供实质性的教育和研究经验。这些学生不仅将从宾夕法尼亚大学中选拔，还将从研究能力薄弱的该地区25所当地大学中选拔。

This proposal requests renewal of a REU Program for nine undergraduate students in the research area of Sensor Technologies. The REU activity will be part of the Center for Sensor Technologies which provides the facilities (laboratories, equipment, and instrumentation) for faculty and students to interact and collaborate, exchange ideas, and share resources. Project topics include optical, mechanical, and thermal sensors; micromaching; packing; neural network.based sensors; and sensor interfacing. This innovative center and its associated faculty can provide undergraduate students substantive educational and research experiences. The students will be chosen from not only the University of Pennsylvania but from over 25 local colleges in the region where research capability is sparse.
