Chemistry REU Site at Clemson: A Summer Undergraduate Research Program (SURP)

该化学部奖支持克莱姆森大学2005-2007年夏季的本科生研究经验（REU）网站。 该计划的主任是路易斯Echegoyen谁是协助共同PI卢尔德Echegoyen。 从其他机构招募的九名学生将参加为期十周的课程。 学生在全国范围内招募，重点是克莱姆森周围的十个州，那里有大量的机构是HBCU。此外，还针对波多黎各院校开展了特别招聘工作，新举措是从克莱姆森附近的两年制技术学院招聘。学生将参加小组活动，旨在丰富他们的研究经验，并促进学生与学生和教师与学生的互动。这些活动包括一个初步的研究报告，仪器车间，信息午餐研讨会和参观当地行业的研发设施。研究经验在最后的研讨会上达到高潮，学生们以海报的形式展示他们的工作成果。最终，该计划旨在鼓励和成功地准备参与者继续研究生水平的研究，并带领他们走向成功的科学和教学生涯。

This Chemistry Division award supports a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at Clemson University for the summers of 2005-2007. The program director is Luis Echegoyen who is assisted by co-PI Lourdes Echegoyen. Nine students, recruited from other institutions, will participate in a ten-week program. Students are recruited nationwide with emphasis on the ten-state region surrounding Clemson where a large number of institutions are HBCUs. In addition, special recruiting efforts target Puerto Rican institutions with a new initiative to recruit from 2-year technical colleges in the vicinity of Clemson. Students will participate in group activities aimed at enriching their research experience and at fostering student-student and faculty-student interactions. These activities include a preliminary research presentation, instrumentation workshops, informational lunch seminars and a visit to the R & D facilities at a local industry. The research experience culminates in a final symposium at which students present the results of their work in a poster format. Ultimately, the program is intended to encourage and successfully prepare participants to continue studies at the graduate level and to lead them to a successful scientific and teaching career.
