Research Experience for Undergraduates

9732316 Cuhel威斯康星大学密尔沃基大湖研究中心(CGLS)的本科生研究体验(REU)网站每年在一个有凝聚力的多学科环境中为10名学生提供环境水生科学研究培训。对湖泊和海洋环境的化学、地质学和生物学感兴趣的学生将与指导活跃的研究实验室的导师配对。他们将在CGLS活跃的一个跨学科研究项目中，共同开发一个与导师的兴趣和能力相适应的学习项目。在介绍了CGLS并在R/V NEESKAY科考船上进行了一天的密歇根湖开放采样体验后，他们将开始一项结合现场、实验室和图书馆的调查，提高学生的自力更生能力。在伞形项目中工作的学生团队将学习合作努力的本质，以及应用他们的个人技能来实现集体目标的奖励。定期安排的正式和非正式层面的学生和教职员工互动将可用。将举办关于仪器、研究生院和就业机会、写作和成果的公开展示以及相关主题的讲习班。在为期10周的课程结束时，每个学生将提交一张海报，向公众介绍他们的工作的5分钟口头演讲，以及一篇典型期刊文章格式的简短但详细的论文。

9732316 Cuhel The Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Site at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee's Center For Great Lakes Studies (CGLS) provides environmental aquatic science research training for 10 students per year in a cohesive, multidisciplinary environment. Students interested in chemistry, geology, and biology of lake and ocean settings are paired with mentors supervising active research laboratories. Together they will develop a program of study compatible with the advisor's interests and capabilities within one of the interdisciplinary research programs active at CGLS. After an introduction to CGLS and a day of open Lake Michigan sampling experience aboard the research vessel R/V NEESKAY, they will begin a combined field, laboratory, and library investigation with increasing student self-reliance. Teams of students working within an umbrella project will learn the essential nature of collaborative effort and the reward of applying their individual skills to accomplish collective goals. Regularly scheduled student and faculty interactions at both formal and informal levels will be available. Workshops on instrumentation, graduate school and career opportunities, writing and public presentation of results, and related topics will be offered. At the close of the 10-week session, each of the students will present a poster, a5 minute oral talk describing their work to a public audience, and a short but detailed paper in the format of a typical journal article.
