REU Site: Space Physics and Instrumentation at The University of Alabama in Huntsville

该项目将继续REU网站，每年有8名本科生参加暑期实习计划。学生们将学习空间等离子体物理、光学和材料科学。学生将构建和观察空间仪器的光学特性，以及从研究地球、太阳、行星际空间和遥远的天文物体的航天器和地面仪器产生的科学回报。学生将每周与他们的指导教师会面，讨论进展情况，并在暑期结束时正式介绍他们的结果，以及一份书面研究报告。

This project will continue an REU site, involving eight undergraduate students per year in a summer internship program. Students will study space plasma physics, optics and materials science. Students will construct and observe the optical characteristics of space instrumentation, as well as the resulting scientific return from spacecraft and ground-based instruments studying the Earth, Sun, interplanetary space, and distant astronomical objects. Students will meet weekly with their advising faculty to discuss progress, and give a formal presentation of their results at the end of the summer, as well as a written research report.
