Research Experiences for Undergraduates in Chemistry at Syracuse University

该项目由化学部资助，支持Karin Ruhlandt-Senge博士和锡拉丘兹大学化学系的其他成员建立和开展一个新的化学本科生研究经验（REU）网站。在2000-2002年期间，36名本科生将在化学教师的监督下进行为期十周的暑期研究。该项目的主题将是分子和生物分子电子学，其中大多数锡拉丘兹化学系将参与，并将包括有机，无机和物理以及生物化学项目。 除了个人研究项目，学生将参加教师研讨会，审查主题领域的前沿研究，每周教师辅导参与者的研究项目，每周学生演讲，专门研究技术研讨会，每周研究小组会议和小型课程对化学研究感兴趣的主题，如使用X射线晶体学和玻璃仪器的建设。每个学生将提交一张海报，并准备提交给她/他的项目学生研究杂志的论文。

This project, funded by the Chemistry Division, supports Dr. Karin Ruhlandt-Senge and other members of the Chemistry Department at Syracuse University in establishing and conducting a new Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site in chemistry. For the period 2000-2002 36 undergraduate students will spend ten weeks each conducting summer research under the supervision of Chemistry faculty. The theme of the project will be Molecular and Biomolecular Electronics, in which most Syracuse chemistry faculty will participate, and will encompass projects in organic, inorganic and physical as well as biological chemistry. In addition to individual research projects students will attend faculty seminars reviewing frontier research in the theme area, weekly faculty tutorials on the participant's research project, weekly student presentations, workshops on specialized research techniques, weekly research group meetings and mini courses on topics of interest in chemical research such as the use of X-ray crystallography and construction of glass apparatus. Each student will present a poster and prepare a paper for submission to the Journal of Student Research on her/his project.
