Research Experiences for Undergraduates: Integrated Computational and Experimental REU Site at Duquesne University

该奖项支持迪克讷大学2004-2006年夏季的本科生研究经验（REU）网站。 项目负责人是Jeffrey D。Evanseck由共同PI Jeffry D.马都拉 十名学生将参加为期十周的课程。 将招收大二和大三学生、代表人数不足的学生和女学生。 来自迪克讷大学化学和生物化学系、卡洛学院、查塔姆学院和佛罗里达纪念学院的教师将担任导师。 该研究计划旨在将计算和实验研究整合到广泛的科学主题中，如纳米技术，国土安全，先进仪器，制药，法医科学和化学生物学。 每个学生将与实验室的实验教师导师一起工作，并与理论教师联络员协商，将计算组件集成到他们的研究中。 将举办计算方法讲习班和每周研讨会。 道德操守部分将以区域道德操守论坛结束。 学生们将参加一个区域本科生研究研讨会。 该计划的有效性将通过学生的参与，学生和教师的评价和参与者的职业发展进行评估。该奖项由国防部与NSF REU计划合作支持。

This award supports a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at Duquesne University for the summers of 2004-2006. The program director is Jeffrey D. Evanseck assisted by co-PI, Jeffry D. Madura. Ten students will participate in a ten-week program. Sophomore and junior students, under-represented and women students will be recruited. Faculty from the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Duquesne University, Carlow College, Chatham College and Florida Memorial College will serve as mentors. The research program is designed to integrate computational and experimental research into broad scientific themes such as nanotechnology, homeland security, advanced instrumentation, pharmaceuticals, forensic sciences and chemical biology. Each student will work with an experimental faculty mentor in the laboratory and consult with a theoretical faculty liaison to integrate a computational component into their study. Workshop meetings on computational methods and weekly seminars will be incorporated. An ethics component will conclude with a regional ethics forum. The students will participate in a regional undergraduate research symposium. The effectiveness of the program will be assessed by student participation, student and faculty evaluations and the career progress of the participants. This award is supported by the Department of Defense in partnership with the NSF REU program.
