EEC-0552562Alexander a. BalandinThis REU award for a Site at the University of California Riverside supports 12 undergraduate students in year one and 16 students in years two and three for 9 weeks in the summer and up to 30 weeks of academic year activity.The objective of this program is to provide meaningful research opportunities to undergraduates from institutions that do not have major research operations. The REU Site will take a multidisciplinary approach to nanoscience and technology based on the research agenda of the Center for Nanoscale Science and Engineering (CNSE) at the university. The program provides not only stimulating research opportunities, but it also offers guidance on preparation for graduate school and the graduate experience, and information for community college students on how to transfer to a bachelors program. Also, the program will include a module regarding real world ethics in research. The program provides the opportunity for undergraduates to integrate research into their education as well as increase the participation of underrepresented groups in science and engineering. The involvement of these students in exciting research enhances the likelihood that community college students will consider transferring to a bachelors program and undergraduate students will consider post-graduate study. Many of the participants will be drawn from nearby accredited Minority Institutions and Hispanic Serving Institutions, thus contributing to a rich and diverse research environment..

EEC-0552562 Alexander a.Balandin加州大学河滨分校的这一REU奖项支持12名一年级本科生和16名二年级和三年级本科生，为期9周的夏季活动和长达30周的学年活动。该项目的目标是为没有重大研究业务的机构的本科生提供有意义的研究机会。REU网站将基于该大学纳米科学与工程中心(CNSE)的研究议程，对纳米科学和技术采取多学科方法。该项目不仅提供了诱人的研究机会，还提供了研究生准备和研究生经历方面的指导，并为社区学院的学生提供了如何转到学士项目的信息。此外，该计划还将包括一个关于研究中现实世界伦理的模块。该计划为本科生提供了将研究融入他们的教育的机会，并增加了未被充分代表的群体在科学和工程领域的参与。这些学生参与令人兴奋的研究增加了社区学院学生考虑转到学士项目和本科生考虑研究生学习的可能性。许多参与者将来自附近经过认证的少数族裔机构和西班牙裔服务机构，从而为丰富和多样化的研究环境做出贡献。
