An REU Site Expansion of RISE: Research Internships in Science and Engineering

0244074 schmidt该奖项为马里兰大学帕克分校为期三年的本科生研究经验（REU）网站提供资金，每年为10名学生提供为期10周的夏季研究经验。该计划的结构将使参与者能够灵活地将他们的智力兴趣应用于各种不同的研究主题。学生将成为团队的一部分。一个团队将由四名本科生组成，在一名教师导师、一名研究生和一名熟悉该教师研究的高级本科生的指导下进行研究。所进行的研究将在教师自己感兴趣和专业知识的领域进行。该计划的目的是提高选择研究生学习的女学生的数量，为在科学或工程领域从事研究工作做准备。该项目将招收物理科学或工程专业的大三和大四学生，并以先前资助的美国国家科学基金会奖（NSF资助号0120786）“科学与工程研究实习（RISE）”为基础，旨在建立主要由女生组成的支持性研究团队，以解决国家需要，增加在科学和工程研究领域中代表性不足的群体的学生的参与。

0244074 SchmidtThis award funds a three-year Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Site at the University of Maryland College Park for 10 students each year for a ten-week summer research experience. The program will be structured to enable participants' flexibility in applying their intellectual interests to a variety of different research topics. Students will be a part of teams. A team will consist of four undergraduates conducting research under the guidance of a faculty mentor, a graduate student, and an advanced undergraduate student familiar with the faculty member's research. The research conducted will be in the field of the faculty member's own area of interest and expertise. The program is specifically design to improve the number of female students choosing graduate study in preparation for a career in research in a field of science or engineering. The program will recruit junior-level and senior-level students majoring in the physical sciences or engineering and build on a previously funded NSF Award (NSF Grant No. 0120786), "Research Internships in Science and Engineering (RISE)" designed to create supportive research teams of primarily female students to address the national need to increase participation of students from population groups underrepresented in research fields in science and engineering.
