This Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site program, hosted by the Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) Department at Montana State University (MSU) and focusing on a central theme of "Observing Our World with Light and Sound", offers state-of-the-art, interdisciplinary research experiences spanning the applications of this theme, as well as the development of enabling technologies, to diverse and talented cohorts of undergraduates from institutions with limited or no research opportunities. The ECE Department's diverse activities provide research opportunities catering to a wide spectrum of backgrounds and interests. Moreover, the research experience will open students' eyes to the nature of research, its role in understanding our world, and engineering solutions to the problems that we face. The interdisciplinary nature of the research efforts will also help the students to see how various academic disciplines come together to solve important problems.The primary objectives of this REU site program are to provide each undergraduate participant with a ten-week intensive and immersive, research experience within a highly collegial environment of collaboration with faculty mentors and other students. The program focuses on the development of the technical skills and critical-thinking abilities of the participants and on their exposure to substantive, representative research activities aimed at developing and utilizing electromagnetic (including light) and sound-based observational tools and techniques for a diverse range of applications. In addition, research will include a number of supporting technologies which enable the development of novel sensors such as micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS), lasers and photonics, nanotechnology, advanced image and signal processing, and machine learning. It will also emphasize development of the participants' technical communication abilities through several professional-development seminars and workshops and enhance their understanding of the ethical and societal context within which engineering research is performed. Industrial partners will be highlighted by including industrial researchers in the seminar series and including visits to local companies. The discoveries made during these collaborations will be communicated to the broader scientific community via publications and presentations.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该本科生研究体验 (REU) 现场项目由蒙大拿州立大学 (MSU) 电气与计算机工程 (ECE) 系主办，重点关注“用光和声音观察我们的世界”的中心主题，提供了-为来自研究机会有限或没有研究机会的机构的多样化且才华横溢的本科生群体提供跨越该主题应用以及使能技术开发的最先进的跨学科研究经验。欧洲经委会的多样化活动提供了满足广泛背景和兴趣的研究机会。此外，研究经验将使学生了解研究的本质、研究在理解我们的世界中的作用以及我们面临的问题的工程解决方案。研究工作的跨学科性质也将帮助学生了解不同学科如何结合在一起解决重要问题。REU 现场项目的主要目标是为每位本科生参与者提供为期十周的强化和沉浸式研究体验在与教师导师和其他学生合作的高度学院化环境中。该计划的重点是培养参与者的技术技能和批判性思维能力，以及他们接触实质性的、代表性的研究活动，旨在开发和利用电磁（包括光）和基于声音的观测工具和技术，用于不同的范围应用程序。此外，研究还将包括许多支持技术，这些技术有助于开发新型传感器，例如微机电系统（MEMS）、激光和光子学、纳米技术、先进图像和信号处理以及机器学习。它还将通过几次专业发展研讨会和讲习班强调参与者的技术沟通能力的发展，并增强他们对工程研究进行的道德和社会背景的理解。工业合作伙伴将通过让工业研究人员参加系列研讨会以及参观当地公司来强调。这些合作期间取得的发现将通过出版物和演示文稿传达给更广泛的科学界。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
