> OBJECTIVES:
>  Over the ten-week summer research period, participants attend a
> series of informal seminars covering research topics as well as
> others, such as preparing for graduate school.  These seminars are
> intended to foster discussion among REU students and faculty, and to
> serve as a basis for further social and scientific interaction.
> Students whose projects are primarily experimental are encouraged to
> attend mini-courses in electronics and in machine shop techniques. The
> core research experience takes place in the context of research
> groups working at the University's research facilities.  Students
> present their work at an informal symposium at the end of the summer.
> They are encouraged to work with their research advisers toward
> completion of publications, submission of abstracts, and presentations
> of their work at professional and student conferences.
>
> ELIGIBILITY
>  Most students major in physics or engineering, and will have
> completed at least four semesters of college physics or math, with an
> overall GPA of 3.0 or higher.  Preference will be given to students
> interested in research, considering an advanced degree.  Members of
> underrepresented minority groups, students with disabilities, and
> women are encouraged to apply.  Participants in the REU program must
> be U.S. citizens or permanent residents.  Students who will have
> completed the bachelor's degree by May of this academic year are not
> eligible for REU programs.
>
> FUNDING
>  The stipend will be competitive with similar programs. A single room
> in an on-campus residence hall with other REU students is
> provided, along with supplemental compensation for meals/incidentals
> for those living on campus. Travel expenses to Rochester are provided
> for non-Rochester students.  (des)
