This project, funded by the Chemistry Division, supports Drs. Lowell Kispert, John B. Vincent and other members of the Chemistry Department at the University of Alabama Tuscaloosa in re-establishing a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site in chemistry. For the period 2000-2002 39 undergraduate students will spend ten weeks each conducting projects which are often interdisciplinary in nature under the direct supervision of Chemistry faculty with extensive experience in directing undergraduate research. Participants will be involved in research projects in environmental chemistry, chemistry of materials or biological chemistry. Technical training gained by project participants will foster responsibility, independence, maturity and confidence and create researchers who are able to search out new avenues of investigation, are competent communicators and independent thinkers.A weekly student/faculty panel will be held to investigate ethical issues that are pertinent to researchers in chemistry. The Ethics and Values Studies program will support development of an ethics and values curriculum using case studies to identify and analyze ethical dilemmas and foster ethical behavior.

这个项目由化学系资助，支持Lowell Kispert博士、John B.Vincent博士和阿拉巴马大学塔斯卡卢萨大学化学系的其他成员重新建立一个本科生研究经验(REU)网站。在2000-2002年期间，39名本科生每人将花费10周时间进行项目，这些项目往往是跨学科性质的，由具有指导本科生研究的丰富经验的化学教员直接指导。参与者将参与环境化学、材料化学或生物化学的研究项目。项目参与者获得的技术培训将培养责任感、独立性、成熟度和信心，并培养出能够探索新的调查途径、善于沟通和独立思考的研究人员。每周将举行学生/教师小组，调查与化学研究人员相关的道德问题。道德和价值观研究计划将支持道德和价值观课程的发展，使用案例研究来识别和分析道德困境并培养道德行为。
