REU Site - Undergraduate Research on Nanodevices

该奖项为阿肯色州费耶特维尔大学纳米器件REU站点提供了为期3年的资金，由William D. Brown博士指导。每年将有12名大三和大四的本科生参加为期10周的暑期跨学科本科生研究体验，这将激发基于“实践教学”范式学习纳米科学的高水平兴趣。它将特别讨论纳米科学背景下的表面科学和量子理论的教学。此外，学生们将学习通过一个类似行业的有组织的培训过程来构建一个教育框架，培养他们的团队合作、沟通和领导能力。他们还将在课堂环境中接触到广泛的理论，以支持该计划的实验研究。

This award provides funding for a 3 year, REU Site on Nanodevices at the University of Arkansas-Fayetteville, under the direction of Dr. William D. Brown. Twelve junior and senior undergraduate students per year will participate in a 10 week summer cross-diisciplinary undergraduate research experience that will initiate a high level of interest to learn nanoscience based on the "teaching through doing" paradigm. It will specifically address the teaching of surface science and quantum theory in the context of nanoscience. In addition, the students will learn to construct an educational framework through an industry-like organized training process that develops their teamwork, communication, and leadership skills. They will also be exposed to the wide range of theory in a classroom environment support the program's experimental studies.
