Research Experiences for Undergraduates in Chemistry at Santa Clara University

Amy Shachter博士和圣诞老人化学系的其他成员 克拉拉大学正在支持建立一个研究经验 为本科生（REU）在化学网站。 在1996-98年期间， 七名本科生每年夏天将花十周时间积极地 从事有机、无机、生物化学、 和光化学。 除了个性化的研究项目， 学生参加每周的研究会议， 使用最先进的仪器和一个特殊的道德方案 由大学应用伦理学中心的伦理学家指导。 重点是提高对科学伦理问题的认识， 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.
