Research Mentoring in Physics and Meterology at Jackson State University

杰克逊州立大学（JSU）是历史上独一无二的 黑人学院和大学在其本科 气象计划。 物理学课程也证明了 高素质的学生 通过这两个方案， 物理和大气科学系已作出 为少数群体的工作做好准备 部队和研究生课程。 缅因州的目标， 拟议的项目是准备和激励少数民族 本科生攻读高级学位和/或专业 物理学和大气科学。 项目 目标包括以下内容：（1）提供 对高能力本科生的早期研究 通过与专门的导师和榜样合作获得经验 在JSU学年期间;（2）发展 学术充实活动，将保持和提高 学生对物理和大气的兴趣 （3）为学生提供机会， 在夏季的几个月里参加校外研究， 以及（4）物理和大气研究生的生产 科学谁将准备继续研究生学习， 这些领域 学生将被要求参加特殊课程， 由监督的研究项目组成，并正式 技术写作和文献调查方面的培训， 实验室实验 除了书面报告，学生 至少要做一次口头报告。 学生将前往至少一个会议或会议 与他们的研究经验有关，并将受到鼓励 在可能和适当的情况下提交文件。 领域 将组织旅行、研讨会等。 参与 教师导师将陪同学生， 会议和专业会议。

Jackson State University (JSU) is unique among Historically Black Colleges and Universities in its undergraduate meteorology program. The physics program too is turning out highly-qualified students. Through the two programs, the Department of Physics and Atmospheric Sciences has made significant contributions is preparing minorities for the work forces and for graduate programs. The maine goal of this proposed project is to prepare and motivate minority undergraduates to pursue advanced degrees and/or professional careers in physics and atmospheric sciences. The project objectives include the following components: (1) the offering to high ability undergraduate students early research experience by working with dedicated mentors and role models during the academic year at JSU; (2) the development of academic enrichment activities which will maintain and enhance the interest of the students in physics and atmospheric sciences' (3) the provision of opportunities for students to participate in off-campus research during the summer months, and (4) the production of graduates in physics and atmospheric science who will be prepared to pursue graduate studies in these fields. Students will be required to take special courses which will consist of supervised research projects, and formalized training in technical writing and literature survey as well as laboratory experimentation. Besides written reports, students will make at least one oral presentation of their research. Students will travel to at least one conference or meeting related to their research experiences, and will be encouraged to present papers where possible and appropriate. Field trips, seminars, etc. will be organized. Participating faculty mentors will be expected to accompany students to conferences and professional meetings.
