Past NSF Research Experience for Undergraduates

Over the last twelve years the LRSM has organized an NSF-REU Summer Fellowship program with a total enrollment of 396 students, 45% of whom were minorities, 40% women, and a combined total of 60% from under-represented groups. Each student spends 10 weeks working with an LRSM-affiliated faculty member on an independent research project. During the program a team of nine faculty members present a weekly lecture on some aspect of materials research and, during the final week, each student is required to make a presentation of his/her research to the other students and interested faculty. Each student must also submit a final report and a prize is given for the best paper. This program is being continued as part of our MRSEC educational outreach.
