Penn State University continues operation of a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site. The REU Site is affiliated with the Department of Physics at Penn State. Eighteen undergraduate students are recruited every year for a ten-week summer research experience. Students participate in a variety of research projects in condensed matter and materials physics, both within the Physics Department and the Center for Nanoscale Science at Penn State. Students also attend weekly seminars, workshops on computer simulations, machine shop courses and facility tours, including a trip to the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia, and present the results of their research at a symposium.The REU Site also supports five teachers every year for a five-to-eight week summer research experience. In addition to research activities with a specific faculty advisor, teachers are encouraged to interact with other faculty members on pedagogy and to enroll in a two-week long interactive course on the mechanics of materials that facilitates incorporation of materials topics into their classroom curriculum.

宾夕法尼亚州立大学继续运营本科生研究体验 (REU) 网站。 REU 站点隶属于宾夕法尼亚州立大学物理系。每年都会招募十八名本科生进行为期十周的暑期研究体验。学生参加宾夕法尼亚州立大学物理系和纳米科学中心的各种凝聚态和材料物理研究项目。学生还参加每周的研讨会、计算机模拟讲习班、机械车间课程和设施参观，包括参观费城富兰克林研究所，并在研讨会上展示他们的研究成果。REU 站点每年还支持五名教师进行一项研究五到八周的暑期研究经验。除了与特定教师顾问进行研究活动外，还鼓励教师与其他教师就教学法进行互动，并参加为期两周的材料力学互动课程，以促进将材料主题纳入课堂课程。
