REU Site in Physics at UC Davis

加州大学戴维斯分校物理系将接待本科生进行暑期研究体验。最终目标是鼓励学生在大学毕业后继续学习物理。该项目将为学生提供在典型课程中看不到的物理观点：研究的喜悦和挫折的第一手经验，以及关于几种物理职业的信息。该项目将在未来三年每年资助10名学生，其中一半从北加州的两年制和四年制大学招收，其余从全国的四年制学院和大学招收。该计划的核心是一个研究项目，由一个或多个教师监督，在凝聚态物理，生物物理，地球物理，环境物理，核物理，高能物理，或宇宙学。补充活动将包括介绍当前物理研究领域的概述，鼓励讨论学生研究项目的午餐会议，以及参观附近的国家实验室和工业，以说明训练有素的物理学家的职业。该项目将以学生的研究报告结束，并在另一个针对社区学院科学和工程本科生的10名学生暑期项目的联合会议上进行。

The Physics Department of the University of California at Davis will host undergraduates for a summer research experience. The ultimate goal is to encourage students to continue studying physics through and beyond the college level. The program will give students views of physics not seen in typical coursework: first-hand experience of the joys and frustrations of research, and information about several types of physics careers. The program will support ten students per year for the next three years, with half recruited from two-year and four-year colleges in northern California and the remainder recruited nationally from four-year colleges and universities. The heart of the program is a research project, supervised by one or more faculty members, in condensed matter physics, biophysics, geophysics, environmental physics, nuclear physics, high energy physics, or cosmology. Supplementary activities will include introductory talks giving overviews of current physics research areas, lunch meetings to encourage discussion about the students' research projects, and visits to nearby national laboratories and industry to illustrate careers open to trained physicists. The program will conclude with research presentations by the students, given at a combined session with another ten-student summer program aimed at science and engineering undergraduates from community colleges.
