Summer Research Experiences for Undergraduate Geology Majors

这个项目将提供一个夏天的研究经验， 8个地质学本科专业。 在与会者中，有两名至 四名学生和一到三名教师参与其中， 都是弗曼以外的学校 这些外部 参加者将从学校的地质课程中挑选 属于弗曼所在的两个财团 这些 学校包括米尔萨普斯学院，百年学院， 南方大学、伍斯特学院、奥伯林学院、 丹尼森大学和俄亥俄州卫斯理大学。 教师 参与将与一个或两个学生，指导他们在一个 10-周的研究工作。 随着暑假的临近，学生们 将被鼓励变得越来越独立。 的 每项工作的目标都是产生有效的、可核查的结果 这将有助于地质学的知识体系， 可以以一种 发表论文或期刊文章。 的总体目标 该计划将教育学生了解这一过程 研究并灌输给他一种对他的领域的兴奋 这将鼓励他继续读研究生。

This project will provide a summer's research experience for eight undergraduate geology majors. Of the participants, two to four of the students and one to three of the faculty involved, will be from schools other than Furman. These outside participants will be drawn from the geology programs of schools that belong to two consortia of which Furman is a member. These schools include Millsaps College, Centenary College, The University of the South, The College of Wooster, Oberlin College, Denison University, and Ohio Wesleyan University. Faculty involved will work with one or two students to direct them in a 10-week research effort. As the summer progresses, the student will be encouraged to become increasingly more independent. The goal of each effort will be to produce valid verifiable results that will contribute to the body of knowledge in geology and that can be presented to the scientific community in the form of a presented paper or journal article. The overall goal of the program will be educating the student to understand the process of research and instilling in him an excitement about his field that will encourage him to continue on to graduate school.
