Research Experiences for Undergraduates in Chemistry at University of South Carolina, Columbia

这个化学部奖支持本科生（REU）在南卡罗来纳州的大学网站的研究经验的延续。 凯瑟琳·墨菲是该网站的项目总监，汉斯-康拉德·祖尔·洛耶是联合项目总监。15名教师将担任REU学生导师。 在奖励期间（2002-2004年），每年夏天将有10名学生参加为期10周的方案。 通过与南卡罗来纳州大学的NSF AMP项目合作，计划增加少数族裔的参与。 学生将参与各种合成和表征方法，以研究具有纳米级有序结构的材料的新特性。计划的活动包括研讨会，实验室和讲座辅导，以及社会功能，以刺激学生与教师的互动和学生与学生的沟通。 一系列的评估计划在整个夏季计划和夏季之后，其中包括从研究导师和学生的评价，并遵循学生的进度后，程序。

This Chemistry Division award supports the continuation of a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at the University of South Carolina. Catherine Murphy is the site's Program Director and Hans-Conrad zur Loye is the Co-Program Director. Fifteen faculty will serve as REU student mentors. Over the award period (2002-2004), ten students will be supported each summer in a ten-week program. Increased minority participation is planned through working with the NSF AMP program at the University of South Carolina. Students will participate in a variety of synthesis and characterization approaches to study the novel properties of materials with structures ordered on the nanometer scale. Planned activities include a symposia, laboratory and lecture tutorials, and social functions to stimulate student-faculty interaction and student-student communications. A series of assessments are planned throughout both the summer program and following the summer, which includes evaluations from both the research mentors and the students and following the progress of the student after the program.
