Research Experience for Undergraduates in Physics and Engineering at Hope College

霍普学院REU项目旨在为学生提供一个有重要研究经验的机会，这将增强他们从事研究事业的愿望。提供给学生的项目来自广泛的专业；核物理，实验和理论，非科学家的技术教育，断裂力学，飞机安全，生物力学和相对论天体物理学。8名REU学生研究人员，以及其他来源支持的类似数量的研究人员，将与实验室的教职员工并肩工作，并进行日常的个人接触。大多数学生在某一特定研究领域几乎没有经验。与此同时，我们只有本科生来帮助我们进行研究，所以他们快速学习并尽早开始贡献是很重要的。因此，他们将被赋予独立思考的责任和自由，同时受到密切监督。这个过程在过去是成功的，许多学生都是评审出版物的共同作者。学生们将展示他们的成果并准备海报。有资金支持参加会议的旅费。学生将获得津贴、住房和旅行津贴。

The Hope College REU program is intended to provide students with an opportunity to have a significant research experience which will enhance their desire to undertake a research career. The projects available to the students come from a wide variety of specialties; nuclear physics, both experimental and theoretical, technical education of the nonscientist, fracture mechanics, aircraft safety, biomechanics and relativistic astrophysics. The eight REU student researchers, and a similar number supported by other sources, will work side-by-side with the faculty in the lab with daily personal contact. Most of the students arrive with little or no experience in the special area of research. At the same time, we have only the undergraduates to help us do the research we undertake so that it is important that they learn quickly and start contributing early. Thus, they will be given responsibility and freedom to think for themselves while being supervised closely. The process has been successful in the past with many students being co-authors on refereed publications. Students will present their results and prepare posters. Funds are available to support travel to a meeting. Students will receive stipends, housing and travel allowance.
