REU Site at Syracuse University: Undergraduate Research Experience in Chemistry

锡拉丘兹大学（SU）的化学REU计划在2009-2011年每年将包括至少15名学生，其中10名由NSF资助，5名或更多由SU或SU相关的NSF或纽约州资助赠款包括LSAMP，AGEP，McNair或CSTEP。整个化学系的教师将作为导师参加这个为期十周的暑期课程，旨在最大限度地利用实验室时间，同时提供实验室外的宝贵科学和社会经验。 学生将参加每周一次的午餐会，他们将首先听取教师的演讲，然后介绍自己的研究;互动式道德研讨会;化学职业研讨会;以及计算化学和玻璃吹制的实践研讨会。 除了口头报告，学生还将在校园范围内的海报会议上展示海报，并为CD汇编贡献文章。 额外纳入11-12名奥地利本科生（由格拉兹技术大学支持的iREU交流计划）将为所有参与者提供重要的国际曝光，高中教师的参与（由SU支持）也将为该计划带来重要的新视角，所有参与者都将从中受益。 在SU的LSAMP，AGEP，McNair和CSTEP计划的支持下，少数民族学生将在该计划中得到很好的代表。

This chemistry REU program at Syracuse University (SU) will include at least 15 students per year in 2009-2011, with 10 funded by NSF and 5 or more funded by SU or SU-associated NSF or NY State grants including LSAMP, AGEP, McNair, or CSTEP. The entire Department of Chemistry faculty will participate as mentors in this ten-week summer program, which is designed to maximize laboratory time while providing valuable scientific and social experiences outside the laboratory. Students will participate in weekly luncheon meetings, in which they will first hear faculty presentations and later present their own research; an interactive ethics seminar; a chemistry careers workshop; and hands-on workshops in both computational chemistry and glassblowing. In addition to their oral presentations, students will also present posters at a campus-wide poster session and contribute articles to a CD compilation. The additional inclusion of 11-12 Austrian undergraduate students (supported by the Technical University of Graz in an iREU exchange program) will provide significant international exposure to all participants, and the participation of high school teachers (supported by SU) will also bring important new perspectives to the program, from which all participants will benefit. With support from LSAMP, AGEP, McNair, and CSTEP programs at SU, minority students will be well represented in the program.
