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为本科生（REU）地点进行研究经验。 REU站点隶属于宾夕法尼亚州立大学物理学系。每年为十周的夏季研究经验招募十八名本科生。学生们在宾夕法尼亚州立大学的物理部和纳米级科学中心内参加了各种凝聚态物质和材料物理学的研究项目。学生还参加每周的研讨会，计算机模拟的研讨会，机械车间课程和设施之旅，包括前往费城富兰克林学院的旅行，并在研讨会上介绍他们的研究结果。REU网站每年还为五个老师提供五到至八岁的夏季研究经验。除了与特定教师顾问的研究活动外，还鼓励教师与其他教育学的其他教职员工互动，并就材料机制进行了为期两周的互动课程，以促进将材料主题纳入其教室课程。
