REU Site: Physics Research Experience for Undergraduates at the University of California, San Diego

加州大学圣地亚哥分校物理系计划在未来5年内每年为15名本科生提供暑期研究培训。来自全国各地的学生的申请将得到考虑。学生将参与由物理系教员指导的个人研究项目。学生专题将包括高能物理、凝聚态物理、生物物理、等离子体物理、天体物理和非线性物理的实验、理论和计算研究。这些研究项目将引导学生从依赖研究的状态转变为允许每个学生在研究技能和能力允许的情况下变得尽可能独立。到达后，学生们将与他们的教师导师一起准备和展示一个提议的项目。在暑期结束时，他们将撰写一份最终的研究报告，并在加州大学圣地亚哥分校学术充实办公室举办的校园本科生研究会议上发表演讲。REU计划包括由教员举办的物理研讨会，与一名计划主任的定期会议，关于计算机使用、实验室安全和图书馆研究的研讨会/讲习班，以及与其他部门的联合科学研讨会和会议。学生将有机会参加有关研究生院招生和奖学金程序、如何撰写研究论文、公开演讲、教学技术和GRE培训的研讨会。

The Department of Physics at the University of California, San Diego proposes to offer summer research training to fifteen undergraduate students per year for the next 5 years. Applications will be considered from students across the nation. Students will participate in an individual research project supervised by a Physics Department faculty member. Student projects will include experimental, theoretical, and computational research in high energy physics, condensed matter physics, biophysics, plasma physics, astrophysics and nonlinear physics. The research projects will be designed to guide students from a dependent research status to one that will allow each student to become as independent as their research skills and abilities permit. On arriving, students will work with their faculty advisor to prepare and present a proposed project. At the end of the summer, they will write a final research report and give a presentation at a campus wide Undergraduate Research Conference run by the UCSD Academic Enrichment Office. The REU program includes physics seminars by faculty, regular meetings with one of the program directors, seminars/workshops on computer usage, laboratory safety and library research, and joint scientific seminars and meetings with groups from other departments. Students will have the opportunity to attend workshops on graduate school admission and fellowship procedures, how to write a research paper, public speaking, instructional technology and GRE training.
