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.

非技术说明佐治亚理工学院 (Georgia Tech) 物理学院的 REU 站点招收本科生参加沉浸式夏季研究体验，为参与者提供对物理研究的见解，并鼓励他们开始研究生学习。为了符合国家在 STEM 学科中培养训练有素、多元化的劳动力队伍的利益，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招募和培训来自世界各地的多元化参与者的机会国家。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、演讲技巧、研究生机会）、本科生研究研讨会以及工业和/或政府实验室实地考察。技术描述本科生将参与一系列物理学项目，从原子、分子和光学物理学到凝聚态物理学；从生物物理学到天体物理学；从凝聚态到计算物理学。该项目旨在加强佐治亚理工学院和 AUC 之间的互动，从而提高主要为少数民族服务的本科院校的研究能力。本科生暑期项目旨在为参与者的实验方法提供最大的灵活性，并促进初级研究人员发展成为独立研究者。
