Wyoming Infrared Observatory's Undergraduate Research Assistantship Program

怀俄明红外天文台（WIRO）将于1994年、1995年和1996年夏季为本科生开展暑期研究项目。该项目将面向全国的本科生，并将重点考虑女性、少数族裔和大二学生。该计划是怀俄明州红外天文台夏季本科生研究助理计划（SURAP）的延续。本课程将同时举办研讨会/实验课程，以指导和连贯地关注该研究经历对学生正规本科教育的作用。所有参与者将被要求参加一个小组观测项目，协助他们的导师使用2.3米望远镜，鼓励他们在夏季完成他们的研究，并参与该项目的目标，以产生可发表的结果。所有参与者还必须参加科学伦理课程。首席研究员计划通过“怀俄明州天文学学期”计划逐步扩大SURAP，以进一步提高总体研究经验。在过去的六年里，WIRO的研究教程已经实现了这些目标，并打算继续我们在本科生研究经验（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.
