REU: Research Experiences for Undergraduates in Chemistry at the University of North Texas

该奖项支持北德克萨斯大学（UNT） 2003-2005年夏季本科生研究经历（REU）项目。安吉拉·威尔逊是项目主管。Thomas Cundari是该项目的联合负责人。12名学生将参加一个为期10周的项目。学生将在全国范围内招募，特别关注种族多样化的阿肯色州，路易斯安那州，德克萨斯州地区（ArkLaTex）。在不同的化学领域，包括有机、无机、物理、分析、聚合物和环境化学，提出了13个问题领域的研究。REU的经验将通过与化学领导者就伦理、非传统职业选择和工业化学家等主题进行讨论来增强。将提供计算化学和x射线晶体学方面的培训机会。一个外部咨询委员会将成立，以协助和建议REU计划。REU学生将与墨西哥学生一起参加由UNT化学系主办的每年夏天的活动，为他们的经历提供国际层面的体验。

PI: Wilson Institution: University of North TexasThis award supports a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at the University of North Texas (UNT) for the summers of 2003-2005. Angela Wilson is the program director. Thomas Cundari is the Co-PI of the project. Twelve students will participate in a ten-week program. The students will be recruited on a national basis with special focus on the ethnically diverse Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas region (ArkLaTex). Thirteen problem areas are proposed for research in various fields of chemistry including organic, inorganic, physical, analytical, polymer and environmental chemistry. The REU experience will be enhanced by discussions with chemical leaders on topics such as ethics, non-traditional career options and chemists in industry. Training opportunities in computational chemistry and x-ray crystallography will be provided. An external advisory board will be formed to assist and advise the REU program. The REU students will participate in activities with Mexican students, who are hosted each summer by the UNT chemistry department, providing an international dimension to their experience.
