Physics REU Site Project

这一行动将为俄勒冈州立大学物理系的REU网站提供进一步的支持。八名学生将通过全国招生程序被选中，参与一个为期九周的暑期物理研究项目。重点研究的物理领域包括AMO、计算、固态和核。学生将一起住在校园宿舍里。每名REU学生将与其研究实验室的一名教员建立密切的指导关系。除了研究经验，参与者还将完成一个特别的短期暑期课程，将计算机连接到实验室设备，这是许多研究项目中必不可少的技能，他们还将接受机器车间技术的指导。最后的“小型会议”将给学生一个机会向他们的同事和物理系的教职员工和学生描述他们的研究。该计划将通过书面调查和口头采访进行评估。

This action will provide further support for the REU Site in the Physics Department of Oregon State University. Eight students will be selected through a national recruitment process to be involved in a nine-week summer research program in physics. Fields of physics to be emphasized include AMO, computational, solid state, and nuclear. Students will be housed together in campus dormitories. Each REU student will work in a close mentoring relationship with one of the faculty in their research labs. In addition to the research experience, the participants will complete a special short summer course in interfacing computers to laboratory devices, a skill that is essential in many research programs, and they will also receive instruction in machine-shop techniques. A final "mini-conference" will give the students an opportunity to describe their research to their colleagues and to the faculty and students of the Physics Department. The program will be evaluated through written surveys as well as through oral interviews.
