REU Site: Optics and photonics: Technologies, Systems, and Devices

本科生研究经验（REU）网站：光学和光子学：技术，系统和设备，由技术（NJIT）的新泽西研究所主办的重点是从事本科生从代表性不足的人口和研究机会有限的机构，如社区学院，在光学和光子技术的关键新兴课题的研究，系统和设备，并鼓励他们考虑在电气和计算机工程及相关领域的继续研究生教育。光学和光子技术、设备和系统是现代通信系统、传感器、计算、医疗保健系统和环境系统的推动者。通过专注于下一代光学和光子学技术和系统，该计划旨在增加进入劳动力市场的学生人数。这个REU网站为本科生提供了机会，从事光学和光子学研究，与教师导师和他们的研究团队，在三个重点领域密集和独特的10周暑期课程：1）光通信和网络; 2）光学和光子器件;和3）光学系统。REU学生的实验室经验将通过技术研讨会和非技术主题的研讨会来增强，例如演讲技巧和道德。每个学生将准备一份最终报告，并在NJIT的国际本科生暑期研究研讨会上介绍他或她的项目。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为是值得支持的。

This renewal Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site: Optics and photonics: Technologies, Systems and Devices, hosted by New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) focuses on engaging undergraduate students from underrepresented populations and from institutions with limited research opportunities, such as community colleges, in research in the key emerging topics of optics and photonics technologies, systems and devices and inspiring them to consider continuing graduate education in electrical and computer engineering and related areas. Optical and photonic technologies, devices and systems are enablers for modern communication systems, sensors, computing, healthcare systems, and environmental systems. By focusing on next generation optical and photonics technologies and systems, this program seeks to increase the number of students entering the workforce with skills in this area. This REU Site offers opportunities for undergraduate students to engage in optics and photonics research, with faculty mentors and their research teams, during an intensive and unique 10-week summer program in three focus areas: 1) optical communication and networking; 2) optical and photonic devices; and 3) optical systems. The REU students' laboratory experience will be enhanced by technical seminars and workshops on non-technical topics, such as presentation skills and ethics. Each student will prepare a final report and give a presentation on his or her project at the end of the program at NJIT's International Undergraduate Summer Research Symposium.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
