Establishment of an REU Site within the Center for Materials for Information Technology at The University of Alabama

阿拉巴马大学塔斯卡卢萨分校建立了一个本科生跨学科研究经验(REU)网站。REU网站隶属于材料信息技术中心(MINT)，该中心是美国国家科学基金会资助的材料研究科学和工程中心。每年招募10名本科生进行为期10周的暑期研究，招生重点是未被充分代表的少数民族和来自东南部的学生。学生参与各种物理科学和工程领域的研究项目，重点是研究用于信息存储的磁性材料。此外，学生还参加每周一次的研讨会、校园内的社会活动，并在暑期结束时介绍他们的工作成果。

The University of Alabama-Tuscaloosa establishes an interdisciplinary Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site. The REU Site is affiliated with the Center for Materials Information Technology (MINT), an NSF-funded Materials Research Science and Engineering Center. Ten undergraduate students are recruited every year for a ten-week summer research experience, with a student recruitment focus on underrepresented minorities and students from the Southeast. Students participate in a variety of research projects within the physical sciences and engineering, with a focus on the study of magnetic materials for information storage. In addition, students participate in weekly seminars, on-campus social activities and give presentations on the results of their work towards the end of the summer.
