REU Site: Berkeley SETI Research Center

该项目将为加州大学伯克利分校的伯克利SETI研究中心的本科生提供研究体验。该项目每年将支持8名学生，让他们有10周的时间与科学家合作，开展与寻找外星智能有关的个别项目。这些学生将在许多研究领域接受培训，并为未来的科学职业生涯做好准备。这些学生中的许多人将从地区社区大学和其他研究机会有限的学校招募。该项目将在与SETI相关的各种领域培训学生。特别是学生将参与天文学、天体物理学、电气工程、机械工程和计算机科学等领域的项目。学生们将使用来自各种观测的大型数据集。学生们将在暑假结束后与导师保持联系，让他们获得宝贵的建议，以促进他们在STEM的职业生涯。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This project will support research experiences for undergraduate students at the Berkeley SETI Research Center at the University of California-Berkeley. The project will support eight students per year for a 10-week experience working with scientists on individual projects related to the search for extra-terrestrial intelligence. The students will be trained in many areas of research and will be prepared for a future career in the sciences. Many of these students will be recruited from area community colleges and other schools with limited research opportunities.The project will train students in a variety of areas associated with SETI. In particular the students will be engaged in projects drawn from the areas of astronomy, astrophysics, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, and computer science. The students will be working with large data sets from a variety of observations. The students will maintain contact with their mentors after the summer, allowing them to gain valuable advice for furthering their careers in STEM.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.
