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

该化学分部奖支持南卡罗来纳大学本科生研究经验（REU）站点的延续。凯瑟琳·墨菲（Catherine Murphy）是该网站的项目总监，汉斯-康拉德·祖尔·洛伊（Hans-Conrad zur Loye）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），每年夏天将支持10名学生参加为期10周的项目。通过与南卡罗来纳大学的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，以研究具有纳米尺度有序结构的材料的新特性。计划的活动包括专题讨论会，实验室和讲座辅导，以及促进学生与教师互动和学生与学生交流的社交活动。一系列的评估计划贯穿整个夏季项目和夏季之后，其中包括来自研究导师和学生的评估，并在项目结束后跟踪学生的进展。

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.
