Research Experiences for Undergraduates in Chemistry at Wichita State University

这个化学部奖支持一个新的研究经验的本科生（REU）网站在威奇托州立大学。 Paul Rillema是该网站的项目总监; Erach Talaty是联合项目总监。九名教师将可作为REU学生导师。 在奖励期间（2001-2003年），每年夏天10名学生将参加为期10周的计划。 招聘工作将在堪萨斯州的54所高等院校进行。 将特别努力吸引妇女和少数民族。 研究重点将涵盖化学的所有基础领域，并涉及一系列主题，如太阳能转换，无机铁磁，质谱分子缔合，卟啉电化学，杂环化学，生物有机反应机理和理论计算。 为学生参与者计划的其他活动包括研讨会和校外访问。 学生参与者将在当地的研讨会上以口头报告结束课程。还需要一份最终的书面研究报告。 该计划的评估将包括来自学生和参与教师的投入。

This Chemistry Division award supports a new Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at Wichita State University. Paul Rillema is the site's Program Director; Erach Talaty is the Co-Program Director. Nine faculty will be available to serve as REU student mentors. During the award period (2001-2003), each summer ten students will participate in a ten-week program. Recruitment efforts will be 54 institutions of higher learning in the state of Kansas. There will be a special effort devoted to attract women and minorities. The research focus will cover all the basic areas of chemistry, and involve a range of topics such as solar energy conversion, inorganic ferromagnetic, molecular association by mass spectrometry, electrochemistry of porphyrins, heterocyclic chemistry, mechanisms of bio-organic reactions and theoretical calculations. Other activities planned for the student participants include workshops and off-campus visits. Student participants will conclude the program with a oral presentation at a local symposium. A final written research report is also required. Evaluation of the program will include input from both the students and the participating faculty.
