NON-TECHNICAL DESCRIPTIONThe REU site in the School of Physics at Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) enrolls undergraduate students in an immersive summer research experience that provides participants with insights into physics research and encouragement to embark on graduate study. In keeping with the nation's interests in creating a highly-trained, diverse workforce in the STEM disciplines, a partnership between Georgia Tech and the institutions in the Atlanta University Center (AUC) provides an opportunity to recruit and train a diverse group of participants from across the nation. Other components of the site include team-building activities, regular group meetings, a research seminar series, a workshop series (e.g., ethics, presentation skills, graduate opportunities), undergraduate research symposia, and field trips to industrial and/or government laboratories.TECHNICAL DESCRIPTIONUndergraduates will participate in an array of projects in physics, ranging from atomic, molecular and optical physics to condensed matter physics; from biophysics to astrophysics; and from condensed matter to computational physics. The program seeks to enhance interactions between Georgia Tech and the AUC and thereby enhance the capacity for research at predominantly undergraduate minority-serving institutions. Undergraduate summer projects are designed to give the participants maximum flexibility in their experimental approach and to foster development of a beginning researcher into an independent investigator.

非技术描述，佐治亚理工学院（Georgia Tech）物理学学院的REU网站（Georgia Tech）招募了本科生的本科生，这是一项沉浸式夏季研究经验，为参与者提供了对物理学研究的见解，并鼓励他们开始研究研究生研究。为了符合国家在STEM学科中创建一个受过良好训练，多样化的劳动力的利益，佐治亚理工学院与亚特兰大大学中心（AUC）的机构之间的合作伙伴关系提供了机会，提供了招募和培训来自全国各地的各种参与者的机会。该网站的其他组成部分包括团队建设活动，定期小组会议，研究研讨会系列，研讨会系列（例如，道德，演示技巧，研究生机会），本科研究专题讨论会以及工业和/或政府实验室的实地考察。物理学；从生物物理学到天体物理学；从冷凝物到计算物理学。该计划旨在增强佐治亚理工学院与AUC之间的相互作用，从而提高主要是本科少数族裔服务机构的研究能力。本科夏季项目旨在为参与者提供最大的灵活性，以实验性的方法，并促进初学研究人员为独立研究者的发展。
