Undergraduate Research in Experimental Physics: Summer Bridge Program

9322089为本科生提供的参与正在进行的实验物理研究项目的机会是建立在一个暑期REU项目中的。学生可以在亚利桑那大学物理系资深教员的指导下，从各种各样的前沿物理活动中进行选择。学生的主要受众将是那些在皮马社区学院完成了相当于一年级或二年级理工科课程的学生，为转到四年制学位课程做准备。这项计划也将提供给来自亚利桑那州南部以外地区的类似准备的学生，他们将在夏季居住在图森。物理系的研究生助教将担任学生的导师。特别指导和技能活动将被单独定制，以使学生能够对研究项目做出重大贡献。在许多情况下，学生有机会在完成夏季REU项目后继续他们与研究项目的联系，最常见的是作为受薪实验室助理。招聘活动将特别重视妇女和任职人数偏低的少数群体。由于大多数学生将在他们科学教育的非常早期就开始这个项目，我们鼓励他们继续发展，允许过去的参与者在随后的暑期课程中申请入学。***

9322089 Thews Opportunities for undergraduate students to participate in ongoing research projects in experimental physics are structured in a summer REU program. Students may choose from a wide variety of forefront physics activities, under the direction of senior faculty members from the Department of Physics at the University of Arizona. The main student audience will be those who have finished the equivalent of the first or second year curriculum in science or engineering at Pima Community College, in preparation for transfer to a 4-year degree program. This program will also be available to similarly prepared students from regions outside southern Arizona who will be resident in Tucson during the summer. Graduate Teaching Assistants from the physics department will serve as mentors for the students. Special orientation and skills activities will be individually tailored to enable the students to make significant contributions to the research projects. Opportunities exist in many cases for the students to continue their associations with the research project after the completion of the summer REU program, most often as paid laboratory associates. Recruitment activities will place special emphasis on women and underrepresented minorities. Because most students will start in this program at a very early point in their scientific education, we encourage continuity in their development by allowing past participants to apply for admission in subsequent summer sessions. ***
