REU Site: Physics Research Experiences for Undergraduates and Teachers

弗吉尼亚州的威廉和玛丽学院将为初级本科生提供为期十周的物理研究计划。预计约有20名本科生将参加研究计划：10人将获得该补助金的支持，5人获得其他赠款的支持，5人获得DeWilde奖学金的支持。DeWilde奖学金由物理系的私人捐赠基金资助，该基金的创立在很大程度上要归功于威廉和玛丽大学REU项目的成功。包括与MINOS中微子项目有关的2名教师RET计划。 威廉和玛丽物理系，一个大型的，全国排名博士。授予计划，与应用科学部门一起，并与美国宇航局兰利研究中心和杰斐逊实验室合作，提供原子-原子，原子-离子和原子-表面散射，表面物理，超声，激光物理和激光-原子相互作用，凝聚态物理与各种技术，核和粒子物理，聚合物物理，无损评估，等离子体物理，非线性动力学、量子计算和量子信息以及天体物理学/宇宙学。该计划为本科生提供了一个参与真实的研究并深入参与特定研究领域的机会。学习的演讲技巧（摘要准备，简短的论文演讲，长论文准备和演讲）是在整个生产生涯中有用的技能。几乎所有的约250名以前的参与者都继续在科学研究生院。部分项目活动将与汉普顿大学联合举办。这些教师将在苏丹带领公众图尔斯参观，并将编写课程材料，将他们的经验与其他高中教师结合起来。该项目由数学和物理科学理事会多学科活动办公室和物理司共同资助。

The College of William and Mary in Virginia will offer a ten-week program of physics research for junior-level undergraduates. Approximately 20 undergraduates are expected to participate in the research program: 10 to be supported by this grant, 5 supported by other grants, and 5 supported by the DeWilde Fellowships. DeWilde Fellowships are funded by a private endowment to the physics department that owe their creation in large part to the success of the REU program at William and Mary. A 2 teacher RET program associated with the MINOS neutrino project is included. The William and Mary physics department, a large, nationally ranked Ph.D. granting program, together with the applied science department, and in cooperation with the NASA Langley Research Center and Jefferson Lab provides mentors and projects in atom-atom, atom-ion, and atom-surface scattering, surface physics, ultra-sonics, laser physics and laser-atom interactions, condensed matter physics with a variety of techniques, nuclear and particle physics, polymer physics, non-destructive evaluation, plasma physics, non-linear dynamics, quantum computing and quantum information, and astrophysics/cosmology. This program provides an opportunity for undergraduates to take part in real research and to become deeply involved in a particular research field. The presentation skills learned (abstract preparation, short paper presentation, long paper preparation and presentation) are skills useful throughout productive careers. Almost all of the approximately 250 previous participants have gone on to graduate school in the sciences. Some program activities will be held jointly with Hampton University. The teachers will lead public tours at Soudan and will generate course material to integrate their experience with other high school teachers. This project is co-funded by the Mathematical and Physical Science Directorate's Office of Multidisciplinary Activities and Physics Division.
