Welcome to the premier issue of the CMDITR Review of Undergraduate Research The premier issue of the Review features extended abstracts of students who participated in the National Science Foundation (NSF) Center on Materials and Devices for Information Technology Research (CMDITR) Summer 2004 Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program. As you may know, an REU experience often acts as a launching point or catalyst for entry by undergraduates into technical fields of study. The REU experience is symbiotic in nature as it supports not only the undergraduate participant who learns first-hand prior to committing to graduate study, but also the more senior members of his or her lab — faculty members, research scientists, post-doctoral fellows, and graduate students. While working with REU students, graduate students and postdocs practice teaching and mentoring skills needed to manage the labs they will be responsible for in the future. Faculty members and other researchers, who share their expertise with these enthusiastic learners, also benefit as they reflect on the excitement upon which their careers have been built. The CMDITR REU Summer Program placed undergraduate students from across the United States in CMDITR state-of-the-art research labs at Georgia Institute of Technology, University of Arizona, and University of Washington. The undergraduate students in this program worked on authentic interdisciplinary research contributing to advancements in information technology with researchers in the fields of chemistry, physics, optics, materials science and engineering, and mechanical engineering. The REU Program emphasized the teamwork nature of scientific research and was supplemented by a collection of activities including ethics training and workshops to effectively communicate science and engineering. The role of the Review is to offer a forum for participants involved in the CMDITR REU to share their research with their REU peers, future REU students, CMDITR graduate students and faculty members, and others interested in the work of CMDITR. The Review is also a forum that depicts the breadth and depth of CMDITR research.
