Research Experiences for Undergraduates in Chemistry at North Dakota State University

该项目由化学部门资助，支持博士。Gregory R. Cook， Mukund Sibi和北达科他州立大学化学系的其他成员建立并实施了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指导下，每人花10周时间进行暑期研究。参与者将参加一个专业发展计划，包括：校外演讲者和北达科他州教师的研讨会，科学写作和研究生学习研讨会，以及企业和政府实验室的实地考察。参与者将与研究生、博士后、研究人员、其他本科生及其导师一起参与研究项目。与达科他技术公司合作，参与者还可以在公司实验室进行研究实习。学生们将参加每两周一次的研究小组会议，并就他们的研究发表正式的演讲和海报。学生将对独立化学研究的要求有一个现实的理解，并在进行这些研究时获得自信。

This project, funded by the Chemistry Division, supports Drs. Gregory R. Cook, Mukund Sibi and other members of the Chemistry Department at the North Dakota State 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. Participants will take part in a professional development program including: seminars by off-campus speakers and North Dakota faculty, workshops on scientific writing and graduate study and field trips to corporate and government laboratories. Participants will be involved in research projects along with graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, research staff, other undergraduates and their faculty mentors. In partnership with Dakota Technologies, Inc, research internships in a corporate lab will also be available to participants. Students will participate in biweekly research group meetings as well as present a formal talk and a poster on their research. Students will achieve a realistic understanding of the demands of independent chemical research and gain self confidence in pursuing such studies.
