This Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site project is in the field of chemistry. For a one-year period beginning in April 1992, eight (8) undergraduates students will spend ten (10) weeks engaged in research, under the direction of seven (7) members of the chemistry faculty. At least six of the 8 REU Program participants will be chosen from a pool of applicants who attend institutions other than Trinity University, and every attempt will be made to bring four students from underrepresented minorities into this program each year. The research programs in which these students will be engaged are designed to offer them operational knowledge of modern chemical instrumentation, opportunities for contributions to publishable research, and experiences in effective communication of their results. As a result of their experiences, REU student participants will understand in greater depth the wealth of choices available to them in the chemical profession, and they will have an increased orientation toward further education in the chemical sciences.
