REU Site: Doing Polymer Science with Collaborations at Four-Year Schools

9988060马蒂亚斯南密西西比大学（USM）通过本科生（REU）网站的研究经验提供本科研究的机会。 REU网站由大学聚合物科学系主办。 每年在全国范围内招募10名学生进行为期10周的暑期研究体验，招募重点是本科院校的学生。 REU网站的参与者包括科学教育专业的学生，或职前教师，以及以教学为目标的科学专业学生，以及通过与USM教师开展研究合作来参与学生所在机构的教师。USM的项目为非USM本科生提供了一个学习如何在USM教师的监督下进行聚合物研究的机会。 它还提供了一个机会，通过培训与USM REU计划学生合作的教师，并将与USM教师开发的研究项目扩展到其他学生，来加强小型学院和大学的本科研究

9988060MathiasThe University of Southern Mississippi (USM) provides opportunities for undergraduate research through a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site. The REU Site is hosted by the Department of Polymer Science at the University. Ten students are recruited nationwide every year for a ten-week summer research experience, with a recruitment focus on students from undergraduate institutions. The REU Site participants include science education majors, or pre-service teachers, and science majors whose goal is to teach, as well as participation of faculty from the students' home institutions through development of research collaborations with the USM faculty.The program at USM provides non-USM undergraduates an opportunity to learn how to do polymer research by actually doing it under the supervision of the USM faculty. It also provides an opportunity for enhancing undergraduate research at small colleges and universities by training faculty there who work with students in the USM REU program and extend the research projects developed with USM faculty to involve other students
