Proposal No.: 9732420 PI: Hagan University: U of Central Florida ABSTRACT The REU Site at the Center for Research and Education in Optics and Lasers (CREOL) at the University of Central Florida (UCF) will expose ten undergraduate students per year, recruited nationally, to twelve weeks of research and other educational experiences in lasers and optics. A primary emphasis of these programs will be on encouraging talented undergraduate students, in particular women, minorities and persons with disabilities, to pursue graduate studies in the field of optics and lasers. Ten internationally recognized faculty in CREOL will be research supervisors in this program. CREOL is a world-leading center of excellence in optics and laser research. The program will include: (1) Introductory informal coursework on the basic principles of optics, lasers and optical materials; (2) Research seminars for undergraduates by the CREOL Faculty; (3) Bi-weekly industrial visits to the numerous optics and laser companies in the Orlando area; (4) Seminars and workshops and discussion sessions on issues of ethics in engineering research, research group tutorials; and (5) Continuous monitoring of the students' progress by the principal investigators, primarily via twice weekly tutorial discussion groups. The summer program will conclude with a poster session in which the REU students will present their research results to the CREOL and UCF Community. Research reports will be bound into the REU yearbook, which the students compile. The program will be followed up by helping students to obtain scholarships for graduate school. The program organizers will track the career progress of former participants. A new feature of the REU site is the formation of an External Oversight Committee, which will annually evaluate the quality of the students' experiences and the site's overall success in meeting its and NSF goals.

提案编号：9732420 PI：哈根大学：中佛罗里达大学 摘要 中佛罗里达大学 (UCF) 光学和激光研究与教育中心 (CREOL) 的 REU 站点每年将招收 10 名本科生在全国范围内，为期十二周的激光和光学研究和其他教育经验。 这些项目的主要重点是鼓励有才华的本科生，特别是女性、少数民族和残疾人，攻读光学和激光领域的研究生课程。 CREOL 的 10 名国际知名教师将担任该项目的研究主管。 CREOL 是世界领先的光学和激光研究卓越中心。 该计划将包括：（1）关于光学、激光和光学材料基本原理的非正式入门课程； (2) CREOL 学院为本科生举办的研究研讨会； (3) 每两周对奥兰多地区众多光学和激光公司进行工业参观； (4) 工程研究伦理问题的研讨会、讲习班和讨论会、课题组辅导； (5) 主要研究者主要通过每周两次的辅导讨论小组持续监测学生的进展。 夏季项目将以海报会议结束，REU 学生将在会上向 CREOL 和 UCF 社区展示他们的研究成果。 研究报告将被装订到学生们编写的 REU 年鉴中。 该计划的后续工作将帮助学生获得研究生院的奖学金。 项目组织者将跟踪前参与者的职业进展。 REU 网站的一个新特点是成立了外部监督委员会，该委员会将每年评估学生体验的质量以及该网站在实现其和 NSF 目标方面的总体成功程度。
