Research Experience for Undergraduate Site in Physics at the University of North Dakota

这是一份在北达科他州大学建立本科生研究经验（REU）网站的提案。REU网站将附属于物理系。研究活动包括凝聚态物理、天文学和天体物理学项目。每年将在全国范围内招募七名本科生进行为期十周的暑期研究体验。招生工作的重点是中西部北部和美国原住民学生。除研究活动外，学生还将参加专业丰富活动，如研讨会、讲习班和主持讨论小组，讨论与科学研究有关的伦理、道德、思想和专有问题。学生们将参观该地区几个由联邦政府资助的研究实验室，并参加团体社会活动。学生们将在每年8月举行的北达科他州本科生研究研讨会上展示他们的研究成果。REU站点由国防部与NSF REU项目合作支持。

This is a proposal to establish a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) site at the U. of North Dakota. The REU Site will be affiliated with the Physics Department. Research activities include projects in condensed matter physics, astronomy and astrophysics. Seven undergraduate students will be recruited nationwide every year for a ten-week summer research experience. Recruitment efforts focus on the Upper Midwest and the Native American student population. In addition to research activities, students will take part in professional enrichment activities such as seminars, workshops, and moderated discussion groups dealing with ethical, moral, ideological, and proprietary issues relevant to scientific research. Students will visit several federally funded research laboratories in the area, and will take part on group social activities. Students will present the results of their research at the North Dakota Undergraduate Research Symposium held each year in August.The REU Site is supported by the Department of Defense in partnership with the NSF REU program.
