Physics REU Site Project

这一行动将为俄勒冈州州立大学物理系的REU网站提供进一步的支持。 八名学生将通过全国招聘程序被选中参与为期九周的夏季物理研究计划。 物理学的重点领域包括AMO，计算，固态和核。 学生们将一起住在校园宿舍里。 每个REU学生将与他们的研究实验室中的一名教师建立密切的指导关系。 除了研究经验，参与者将完成一个特殊的短期暑期课程，在计算机接口到实验室设备，在许多研究项目中是必不可少的技能，他们也将接受机械车间技术的指令。 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师和学生描述他们的研究。 该计划将通过书面调查以及通过口头采访进行评估。

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.
