The Northwest Leader in National Science Foundation-funded Undergraduate Research
The National Science Foundation Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program helps students learn what the world of academia and research will really be like. Unlike in classrooms or in their labs, students who do research learn that there is no right or easy answer. “They gain ownership in an individual project and are given freedom to explore tangents,’’ says Kip Findley, who serves as the co-director of the REU program in advanced materials and as an undergraduate research professor. “In classroom labs, we know the results that reinforce the fundamentals in the classroom. In real research, you sometimes draw the target after you shoot." Students participating in REU receive a stipend as well as support through on-campus housing and travel expenses while having the opportunity to participate in a faculty-directed research project.
