Portland State University continues its operation of a multidiscipline Research Experience for Undergraduate (REU) site. The objective of this REU site is focused on inspiring undergraduate students to pursue careers in science and engineering by involving them in "real-life" nanometrology related research. Recruitment is nationwide, with an emphasis on students from community colleges in the greater Portland area and from four-year colleges where few research opportunities exist. The REU Site offers a variety of interdisciplinary research projects covering nanomaterial synthesis (including electronic, optical, and biological materials), nanodevice fabrication, and the development of nanometrology tools with an emphasis on microscopy and spectroscopy. In working toward this objective, the PSU-REU site is committed to bringing together students from different disciplines, ethnic backgrounds, and institutions. Through a concentrated summer program, REU participants learn the use of major research instruments such as electron microscopes and conduct research in close contact with faculty mentors. Other student activities include a workshop on laboratory safety, database searching and computer tools; a short course on the application of microscopy and microanalysis; a field trip to local high tech companies and a research symposium where students present the results of their work.

波特兰州立大学继续为本科（REU）网站的多学科研究经验运作。 REU网站的目的是激发本科生通过参与“现实生活”纳米量学研究的研究，从而从事科学和工程学的职业。招聘是全国性的，重点是大波特兰地区社区大学的学生以及几乎没有研究机会的四年制大学。 REU站点提供了各种跨学科研究项目，其中涵盖纳米材料合成（包括电子，光学和生物材料），纳米涂片设备，并开发了纳米测量工具的开发，重点是显微镜和光谱学。在朝着这一目标努力的过程中，PSU-REU网站致力于将来自不同学科，种族背景和机构的学生召集在一起。通过集中的夏季计划，REU参与者将学习使用主要研究工具，例如电子显微镜，并与教师导师密切接触。其他学生活动包括实验室安全，数据库搜索和计算机工具的研讨会；有关显微镜和微分析的短期课程；前往当地高科技公司和一项研究研讨会的实地考察，学生们展示了他们的工作结果。
