University of Washington Physics REU Site

华盛顿大学将在2004-2006年的夏季继续为本科生举办物理研究体验项目。每名学生参与者都与威斯康星州大学的一名教职员工合作，参加为期10周的项目。学生们将深入参与教员的研究，这些研究可能来自物理学的任何部分，在某些情况下还可能来自其他相关的物理科学。这允许学生第一手参与科学过程，包括但不限于：设计、建造和/或调试新型仪器、数据收集和分析、数值建模、从头计算、统计建模软件的开发和理论。年轻科学家的教育对美国科学的持续成功至关重要。威斯康星大学物理系的REU项目在其存在的九年中指导了120多名学生，绝大多数学生继续在物理科学研究生学校学习，参与中等教育，或转到生物科学深造。通过将重点放在缺乏研究机会的较小学院的学生身上，该项目进一步扩大了美国的理科人才库。此外，还努力吸引妇女和少数民族学生。该项目由华盛顿大学原子核理论研究所和物理系联合管理。

The University of Washington will continue to host a Physics Research Experiences for Undergraduates Program for the summers of 2004 - 2006. Each student participant is partnered with a UW faculty member for the 10-week program. The students become deeply involved in the faculty member's research, which may come from any part of physics and in some cases other related physical sciences. This allows the student first-hand involvement in the scientific process, including but not limited to: design, construction, and/or commissioning of novel instrumentation, data collection and analysis, numerical modeling, ab initio computation, development of software for statistical modeling, and theory.The education of young scientists is of paramount importance to the continuing success of science in the United States. The REU program at the UW Physics Department has supervised over 120 students in its nine years of existence, with the vast majority of the student participants continuing to graduate school in the physical sciences, becoming involved in secondary education of science, or moving to the biological sciences for advanced study. By placing some emphasis on students from smaller colleges that lack research opportunities, this program further broadens the talent pool for science in the United States. In addition, efforts are made to attract women and minority students. This program is administered jointly by the Institute for Nuclear Theory and the Department of Physics at the University of Washington.
