Research Experiences for Undergraduates in Chemistry at North Carolina State University

该化学部奖支持北卡罗来纳州州立大学的本科生研究经验（REU）网站，其中以前的REU网站于1997-1999年获得资助。 托马斯Gunnoe是该网站的项目总监;玛丽亚奥利弗Hoyo是联合项目总监。12名教师将担任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。 重点将放在从缺乏研究机会的本科院校招收学生上，利用与北卡罗来纳州内许多HBCU和PMCU的现有关系。 此外，还计划与波多黎各的一些大学发展关系。 这些关系将被用来加强该计划的少数民族招聘工作。提供的研究项目是在分析，无机，有机和物理化学领域。虽然该计划的主要重点将是学生直接参与研究项目，但学生还将参加每周研讨会，工业现场参观，安全指导以及其他教育和网络活动。 在节目结束时，每个学生将在一个小型研讨会，将包括海报和口头报告提出他/她的研究。 将采用长期和短期评估方法来确定该REU计划的有效性。

This Chemistry Division award supports a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at North Carolina State University, where a previous REU site was funded for 1997-1999. Thomas Gunnoe is the site's Program Director; Maria Oliver-Hoyo is the Co-Program Director. Twelve faculty will serve as REU student mentors. During the award period (2001-2003), each summer ten students will participate in a ten-week program. Strong emphasis will be placed on recruiting students from undergraduate institutions that lack research opportunities, using existing relations with many of the HBCUs and PMCUs within North Carolina. In addition, plans are underway to develop relationships with selected universities in Puerto Rico. These relationships will be utilized to bolster the program's minority recruiting efforts. The research projects offered are in the areas of analytical, inorganic, organic, and physical chemistry. While the primary focus of the program will be on the students' direct participation in a research project, students will also participate in weekly seminars, industrial site visits, safety instruction, and other educational and networking activities. At the conclusion of the program, each student will present his/her research at a mini-symposium that will include both poster and oral presentations. Both long- and short-term evaluation methods will be implemented to determine the effectiveness of this REU program.
