Research Experience for Undergraduates at the Princeton Institute for the Science and Technology of Materials

普林斯顿大学继续一个本科生研究体验(REU)网站。REU网站自1997年以来一直得到资助。REU网站隶属于普林斯顿材料科学与技术研究所(PRISM)。对物理、化学、分子生物学和工程学感兴趣的学生参与的研究项目横跨材料科学的广度，包括电子材料、生物材料、聚合物、陶瓷、能源系统材料、材料成像和建筑保护材料。每年在全国范围内招收25名本科生进行为期9周的暑期研究。与研究经验相辅相成的是关于材料科学和工程以及科学政策等当前主题的短期课程和研讨会，以及参观附近的研究实验室。暑期项目的高潮是由学生公开展示他们的研究项目的结果。该计划还邀请三名中学教师参加为开发适合向高中生介绍材料科学和工程学的课程材料而量身定做的研究活动。该奖项由材料研究部和数学和物理科学局多学科活动办公室共同资助。

Princeton University continues a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Site. The REU Site has been funded since 1997. The REU Site is affiliated with the Princeton Institute for the Science and Technology of Materials (PRISM). Students interested in physics, chemistry, molecular biology, and engineering participate in research projects that span the breadth of materials science and include topics in electronic materials, biomaterials, polymers, ceramics, materials for energy systems, imaging of materials and materials for architectural conservation. Twenty-five undergraduate students are recruited nationwide every year for a nine-week summer research experience. Complementing the research experience are short courses and seminars on current topics in materials science and engineering, and on science policy, as well as visits to nearby research laboratories. The summer program culminates in public presentations by students about results from their research projects. The program also brings in three secondary school teachers to participate in research activities tailored for the development of curricular material appropriate to introduce materials science and engineering to high school students.This award is co-funded by the Division of Materials Research and the Office of Multidisciplinary Activities of the Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences.
