Undergraduate Research

这笔赠款将继续支持华盛顿大学的本科生物理研究体验项目。该项目为潜在的学生提供了各种各样的研究机会：天体物理和宇宙学、原子物理、核物理、凝聚态物理、粒子物理和物理教育。每名学生都有一名教员指导，这名指导教师通常得到感兴趣的博士后和高级研究生的支持。该项目为期10周，包括机械车间课程、教师关于物理学研究机会的系列讲座，以及周一的非正式聚会。特别努力鼓励妇女和少数群体成员申请和参与。由于新的华盛顿大学物理/天文学大楼达到或超过最新的ADA标准，我们也强调我们有能力满足身体残疾学生的需求。由于通常每10名学生中就有1人在华盛顿大学物理教育集团工作，我们的项目也对在职中小学教师的培训产生了影响。

This grant will continue support for the Research Experiences for Undergraduates physics program at the University of Washington. The program offers prospective students a wide variety of research opportunities: astrophysics and cosmology, atomic physics, nuclear physics, condensed matter physics, particle physics, and physics education. Each student is paired with a faculty advisor, who often is supported by interested postdocs and advanced graduate students. The program lasts 10 weeks and includes a machine shop course, a faculty lecture series on research opportunities in physics, and informal Monday gatherings. Special efforts are made to encourage women and minority group members to apply and participate. As the new UW physics/astronomy building meets or exceeds the latest ADA standards, we also emphasize our ability to accommodate the needs of physically challenged students. As typically one student in 10 works with the UW Physics Education Group, our project also has an impact on the training of in-service elementary and secondary teachers.
