This three-year REU site program at the University of Maine will engage eight undergraduates per year in hands-on research experiences in sensor science and engineering. The REU program will be integrated with the PIs' Graduate Teaching Fellows in K-12 Education (GK-12) and Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) programs. REU participants will have the opportunity to interact with faculty research mentors, graduate students, post-docs, technicians, visiting scientists, and middle and high school teachers. REU students, GK-12 fellows, IGERT fellows, and RET participants will participate in field trips to Maine companies that perform sensor research such as The Jackson Laboratory and Spectral Solutions. They will also participate in weekly seminars in the area of sensors given by invited speakers, faculty research mentors, graduate students, and visiting scientists. Weekend recreational activities will be an integral part of the program and will enhance the REU students' sense of community and improve their research group dynamics.In addition to the research experience, REU students will participate in two complementary courses, INT 398 Undergraduate Research Participation and ECE 465 Introduction to Sensors. Each student will receive three credits for each course. At the end of the research experience, students will present their research in conference format and submit a written report or co-author paper(s) for publication in peer-reviewed journals and/or symposia.Recruitment efforts will be targeted to women and minorities and students at non-PhD granting institutions. Research results will be disseminated through campus presentations and more broadly through professional journals and symposia. Society will benefit as undergraduates, as a result of their participation in their research experiences, choose to continue in graduate school or to excel in technologically and scientifically challenging careers that advance such areas as homeland security, food safety, transportation, communications, and medicine.

缅因州大学的这项为期三年的REU网站计划将每年与八名本科生与传感器科学与工程学的动手研究经验。 REU计划将与PIS的研究生教学研究员（GK-12）和教师（RET）计划的研究经验集成。 REU参与者将有机会与教职员工研究导师，研究生，博士后，技术人员，访问科学家以及中学和高中教师互动。 REU学生，GK-12研究员，Igert Fellows和RET参与者将参加缅因州公司进行传感器研究（例如杰克逊实验室和光谱解决方案）的实地考察。 他们还将参加由受邀演讲者，教师研究导师，研究生和访问科学家提供的传感器领域的每周研讨会。周末的娱乐活动将是该计划不可或缺的一部分，并将增强REU学生的社区意识并改善其研究小组动态。除了研究经验外，REU学生将参加两项互补课程，INT 398本科生研究参与和ECE 465传感器引入。 每个学生将为每个课程获得三个学分。 在研究经验的结尾，学生将以会议格式介绍他们的研究，并提交书面报告或合着者论文，以在同行评审期刊和/或专题讨论中发表。 研究结果将通过校园演讲，更广泛地通过专业期刊和研讨会来传播。 由于他们参与研究经验，社会将受益于本科生，因此选择继续研究生院，或在技术和科学上挑战性的职业中表现出色，这些职业会推进国土安全，食品安全，运输，交通，通讯和医学等领域。
