Research Experience for Undergraduate in the Science of Microfabrication

康奈尔大学的国家纳米辐照设施(NNF)在最初的12年里为来自全国各地的大学、政府实验室和行业的数千名研究生和访问科学家提供了一个出色的研究环境。通过REU SITE项目，NNF的教职员工、主任和全职工作人员将向本科生介绍这一科学和工程领域，并有机会体验这种研究环境。选拔过程将把包括少数族裔在内的聪明的年轻本科生带到康奈尔大学校园，为期九周，参与各种与微制造相关的研究项目。他们将与研究生和教职员工见面并工作，参加一个关于微制造实用方面的短期课程，并第一手观察几个学科之间的相互作用，这些学科必须结合在一起，才能成功完成这一领域的研究。这是为了激发学生对纳米制造的兴趣，并有助于在这一高科技科学领域提供训练有素的专业人员。

The National Nanofabircation Facility (NNF) at Cornell University has, in its first twelve years, provided an outstanding research environment for thousands of graduate students and visiting scientists from universities, government laboratories and industry throughout the country. Through this REU Site Project, the faculty, the director and the full-time staff of the NNF, will give undergraduate students an introduction to this field of science and engineering and an opportunity to experience this research environment. The selection process will bring bright young undergraduate students, including minorities, to the Cornell campus for nine weeks to participate in a variety of research projects related to microfabrication. They will meet and work with graduate students and faculty members, attend a short course on the practical aspects of microfabrication, and observe firsthand the interaction of the several disciplines that must come together for the successful completion of research in this field. This is intended to stimulate student interest in nanofabrication and contribute to the availability of trained professionals in this high technology area of science.
