| Description: | PSU's REU program provides opportunities for undergraduate students--with an emphasis on underrepresented minorities and females--to be involved in research projects with the faculty at PSU. It is expected that this special program will not only allow students to quickly engage in actual research work in a multidisciplinary environment, but will also train the students in using microscopy and microanalysis techniques for materials characterization. Ultimately, this will motivate students to pursue advanced degrees and research careers in science and engineering areas. The program consists of 8 weeks of full-time (40 hours per week) research, a week-long SEM and FIB training session when you first arrive, and weekly seminars throughout the course of the summer. There are weekly group meetings for participants to connect with one another and share their research, as well as a field trip to a local high-tech company like FEI Company or Intel. Lastly, participants will give a formal presentation at the end of the summer in the REU Summer Symposium. |
