Research Experiences for Undergraduates in Chemistry at the City University of New York - Staten Island

这一化学系奖项支持纽约城市大学斯塔滕岛学院的本科生新研究体验(REU)网站。Ruth Stark是该网站的项目总监；James Batteas是联合项目总监。将有10名教员担任REU的学生导师。在颁奖期间(2001-2003)，每年暑假将有十名学生参加为期十周的计划。招生工作将在全国范围内展开，以吸引不同的学生群体。研究的重点将是合成和天然聚合物--它们的合成、表征和物理性质。为学生参与者计划的其他活动包括关于化学文献的研讨会、技术写作和科学演讲。还计划举办研讨会和实地考察。学生参与者将在当地的研讨会上以海报演示结束该计划。还需要一份最终的书面研究报告。该计划的评估将包括自我评估、基准和正式的外部审查。

This Chemistry Division award supports a new Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at City University of New York, College of Staten Island. Ruth Stark is the site's Program Director; James Batteas is the Co-Program Director. Ten 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 extend nationally in order to attract a diverse group of students. The research focus will be on both synthetic and natural polymers--their synthesis, characterization, and physical properties. Other activities planned for the student participants include workshops on the chemical literature, technical writing, and giving a scientific talk. Seminars and field trips are also planned. Student participants will conclude the program with a poster presentation at a local symposium. A final written research report is also required. Evaluation of the program will include self-assessment, benchmarking, and a formal external review.
