Research Experience for Undergraduates in Physics

伊利诺伊大学物理系本科生研究经验计划提供各种物理子领域的研究机会。大约一半的参与者来自UIUC以外的学院和大学，另一半是参加我们的高中论文课程序列的伊利诺伊州学生，尽管所有参与者都参与了相同的活动。课程以外的活动侧重于交流技能，让参与者接触到各种各样的物理学科。在为期十周的计划中，学生们被要求做口头报告，并就他们的研究项目写一篇日记风格的论文。举办了关于如何进行有效的演讲、如何撰写科学论文以及研究的伦理行为的研讨会(2003年夏季新增)。参与者每周与一名教职员工一起参加午餐会，教职员工讨论其研究领域的最新进展和存在的问题。还安排了可选的社交活动和实地考察。

The University of Illinois Department of Physics Research Experiences forUndergraduates program provides research opportunities in a variety ofphysics sub-fields. About half of the participants are from colleges anduniversities other than UIUC, and the other half are Illinois studentsparticipating in our senior thesis course sequence, although allparticipants are involved in the same activities. Activities outside thelaboratory focus on communication skills and expose participants to a widevariety of physics disciplines. During the ten-week program, students arerequired to give oral presentations and write a journal-style paper abouttheir research project. Workshops are conducted on how to give effectivepresentations, how to write a scientific paper, and ethical conduct ofresearch (new in Summer 2003). Participants attend weekly lunch meetingswith a faculty member, who discusses recent progress and open problems inhis or her research area. Optional social activities and field trips arealso arranged.
