Establishment of a Research Experience for Undergraduate Site

这是北卡罗莱纳州立大学本科生研究经验奖。该基金为从美国东南部65所潜在院校的候选人中选出的17名本科生提供支持。参与者包括在北卡罗莱纳州立大学的夏季会议。特别强调从妇女和少数民族等代表性不足的群体征聘人员。学术成就是参加该计划的首要要求，教师的推荐是一个重要因素。在教师的指导下，研究将涉及超分辨率光谱学，化合物半导体，原子碰撞，x射线吸收光谱学，超新星遗迹和凝聚态理论等领域的主题。参与该项目的教授在研究中与本科生有很强的互动记录。该计划在过去四年中取得了相当大的成功，例如，超过24篇与本科生共同撰写的出版物，几个学生论文的区域奖项，以及美国物理研究所颁发的全国杰出本科生研究项目的Apker奖获得者，以及1991年额外的Apker决赛选手。

This is a Research Experiences for Undergraduates Site Award at North Carolina State University. The funds provide support for seventeen undergraduate students selected from candidates from sixty five potential institutions in the Southeastern United States. Participation consists of a summer session at North Carolina State University. Special emphasis is placed upon recruitment from under-represented groups such as females and minorities. Scholastic achievement is the primary requirement for participation in the program, and recommendation by a faculty member is a significant factor. The research under supervision of faculty members will involve topics in the areas of super- resolution optical spectroscopy, compound semiconductors, atomic collisions, x-ray absorption spectroscopy, supernova remnants, and condensed matter theory. The professors involved in this program have a strong record of interaction with undergraduate students in research. The program has had considerable success in the past four years, for example, more than 24 publications with undergraduate student co-authors, several regional awards for student papers, and one winner of the Apker Award by the American Institute of Physics for the outstanding undergraduate research project in the nation, plus an additional Apker finalist in 1991.
