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

0244074施密特该奖项资助马里兰大学学院公园本科生(REU)网站为期三年的研究体验，每年为10名学生提供为期10周的暑期研究体验。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教职员工研究的高级本科生的指导下进行研究。进行的研究将在教员自己感兴趣和专长的领域内进行。该计划是专门为增加选择研究生学习的女学生的数量而设计的，为在科学或工程领域的研究生涯做准备。该计划将招收物理科学或工程专业的初级和高级学生，并以之前资助的国家科学基金会奖(国家科学基金会资助金编号0120786)--“科学与工程研究实习(RISE)”为基础，旨在创建以女性学生为主的支持性研究团队，以满足全国范围内增加科学和工程研究领域中代表性不足群体的学生参与的需求。

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.
