            <p>As a participant in the REU program, the student is expected to:</p>

              <ol start="1" type="1">
                <li>participate in regular research 
                  group meetings,</li>
                <li>maintain a research log and 
                  web page,</li>
                <li>conduct experiments,</li>
                <li>write research project progress 
                  reports and submit an interim report,</li>
                <li>submit final research report 
                  and;</li>
                <li> give full presentation of 
                  the research results to project director, mentors, 
                  and REU peers. </li>
              </ol>
              <p> In addition to the core research 
              proposal writing and reporting, students will participate 
              in activities workshops, laboratory tours, and field 
              trips.</p>

            <h1>The REU Research Process</h1>
            <p>Once research 
              topics are assigned, the REU student will go through 
              the full research process to include, literature 
              survey, writing a proposal, preparing and competing 
              for a project budget, writing an interim progress 
              report and a final report and giving a presentation 
              in a conference setting.<b>The philosophy of this 
              program is to incorporate original thinking, team 
              effort and project execution via hands-on research</b>. 
              REU student participants will be exposed to research 
              skills relating to: </p>
              <ul>
                <li>the operation of a state-of-the-art 
                  radar system</li>
                <li>developing and building electromagnetic 
                  and electronic instrumentation for research</li>
                <li> designing new experiments</li>
                <li> conducting data analysis, 
                  including analytical techniques such as signal 
                  processing and image processing</li>
                <li> the critical interpretation 
                  of radar images (image processing)</li>
                <li> the careful documentation 
                  of research results</li>
              </ul>
