Research Experiences for Undergraduates in Chemistry at Santa Clara University

Amy Shachter博士和圣克拉拉大学化学系的其他成员正在得到支持，以建立一个化学本科生研究经验（REU）网站。在1996- 1998年期间，7名本科生每年夏天将花10周时间积极从事有机、无机、生物化学和光化学的基础研究项目。除了个性化的研究项目外，学生还参加每周的研究会议，使用最先进仪器的培训课程，以及由大学应用伦理学中心的伦理学家指导的特殊伦理学课程。重点是提高对科学中伦理问题的认识，并将伦理纳入科学决策过程。

Dr. Amy Shachter and other members of the Chemistry Department at Santa Clara University are being supported to establish a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site in chemistry. For the period 1996-98, seven undergraduate students will spend ten weeks each summer actively engaged in basic research projects in organic, inorganic, biochemistry, and photochemistry. In addition to individualized research projects, students participate in weekly research meetings, training sessions in the use of state-of-the-art instrumentation, and a special ethics program directed by ethicists from the University's Center for Applied Ethics. The focus is to increase awareness of ethical concerns in science and to incorporate ethics in the scientific decision-making process.
