This grant will continue support for the Research Experiences for Undergraduates at Hope College. A key factor in the program is the close professional partnership between the student and faculty mentor, which covers active involvement in planning experiments, doing experiments, and interpretation of results for presentation and/or publication. Each participant will spend ten weeks (minimum of 40 hours/week) during the summer on research activities. The students will work with a mentor in a broad spectrum of research areas supported within the department (heavy-ion physics, nuclear theory, theoretical astrophysics, science education, and material properties). The projects are designed to introduce students to a variety of topics and techniques, as well as provide experience in the selection of a research problem, the design of experiments and equipment, the analysis data, and interpretation in light of models and theory. Communication skills will be emphasized by the presentation of student seminars at the beginning and end of the ten week period and the preparation of final written report.

这笔赠款将继续支持希望学院本科生的研究经验。 该计划的一个关键因素是学生和教师导师之间密切的专业伙伴关系，其中包括积极参与规划实验，做实验，并解释演示和/或出版的结果。 每个参与者将花费十个星期（至少40小时/周）在夏季的研究活动。 学生将与导师在部门内支持的广泛研究领域（重离子物理学，核理论，理论天体物理学，科学教育和材料特性）合作。 这些项目旨在向学生介绍各种主题和技术，并提供选择研究问题，实验和设备设计，分析数据以及根据模型和理论解释的经验。 沟通技巧将通过在十周期间的开始和结束时介绍学生研讨会以及准备最终书面报告来强调。
