Wyoming Infrared Observatory's Undergraduate Research Assistantship Program

一项针对本科生的暑期研究计划将于1994年、1995年和1996年的夏季在怀俄明州红外天文台(WIRO)进行。该计划将面向全国的本科生，并将大力考虑女性、代表性不足的少数族裔和大二学生。该计划是怀俄明州红外线天文台夏季本科生研究助学金计划(SURAP)的延续。与本课程同时进行的研讨会/实验室课程将提供指导和连贯的重点，说明这项研究经验对学生正规本科教育所起的作用。所有参与者将被要求参加一个小组观测项目，在2.3米望远镜上协助他们的顾问，鼓励他们在夏季内完成他们的研究，并参与该计划的目标，以产生可发表的结果。所有参与者还将被要求参加一门科学伦理课程。首席研究员计划通过“怀俄明州天文学期”项目逐步扩大苏拉普项目，以进一步提升整体研究经验。在过去的六年里，WIRO的研究教程已经达到了这些目标，并打算继续我们在本科生研究体验(REU)计划中的卓越标准。

A summer research program for undergraduate students will be carried out at the Wyoming Infrared Observatory (WIRO) for the summers of 1994, 1995, and 1996. The program will be available to undergraduates throughout the nation and a strong consideration will be made for women, under-represented minorities, and sophomore students. This program is a continuation of the Wyoming Infrared Observatory's Summer Undergraduate Research Assistantship Program (SURAP). A concurrent seminar/laboratory course will accompany this program to provide direction and a coherent focus on the role this research experience plays toward the student's formal undergraduate education. All participants will be required to participate in a group observational project, assist their advisors at the 2.3 meter telescope, encouraged to complete their research within the summer, and participate in the program's objectives to produce publishable results. A science ethics course will also be required of all participants. The Principal Investigator plans to gradually expand SURAP with an "astronomy semester at Wyoming" program to further enhance the total research experience. The WIRO tutorial in research has met these goals over the past six years and intends to continue our standard of excellence in the Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program.
