Research in the Chemical Sciences for Undergraduates at Louisiana State University

该奖项为路易斯安那州立大学(LSU)提供资金，以支持在Steven F.Watkins博士和Kerry M.Dooley博士的指导下，在化学科学领域建立一个为期三年的REU站点。这是对一个成功的化学科学夏季研究场地的更新，将培训42名本科生(每年14名)。这个为期九周的暑期项目由路易斯安那州立大学的化学工程师、化学家和生物化学家共同努力，为来自美国各地的不同类型的学生提供了机会，以有意义的方式为资金充足的积极研究项目做出贡献。REU网站建立在过去成就的基础上，最引人注目的是，超过60%的实习生选择了化学工程或密切相关学科的顶尖研究生院。该项目特别成功地利用了来自行业的区域资源，并通过迷你提案、期末报告、口头演示和海报强调书面和口头沟通技能。

This award provides funding to Louisiana State University (LSU) for the support of a three-year, REU Site in the Chemical Sciences, under the direction of Dr. Steven F. Watkins and Dr. Kerry M. Dooley. This is a renewal of a successful site for summer research in the chemical sciences and will result in the training of 42 undergraduate students (14 per year). The nine-week summer program is a joint effort by chemical engineers, chemists, and biochemists at LSU and offers a diverse cadre of students, who are drawn from all parts of the U.S., the opportunity to contribute in a meaningful way to well-funded, active research projects. The REU site builds on past achievements, most notably that more than sixty percent of its interns haven chosen to attend top graduate schools in chemical engineering or a closely related discipline. The program is particularly successful in leveraging regional resources from industry and its emphasis on written and verbal communications skills through mini-proposals, final reports, oral presentations and posters.
