REU Site at Syracuse University: Undergraduate Research Experience in Chemistry

锡拉丘兹大学(SU)的这一化学REU项目在2009-2011年间将至少招收15名学生，其中10名由NSF资助，5名或更多学生由SU或SU相关的NSF或纽约州助学金资助，包括LSAMP、AGEP、McNair或CSTEP。化学系全体教职员工将作为导师参加这个为期十周的暑期项目，该项目旨在最大限度地利用实验室时间，同时提供实验室外宝贵的科学和社会经验。学生们将参加每周一次的午餐会，在会上他们将首先听取教员的陈述，然后介绍他们自己的研究；一个互动的伦理研讨会；一个化学职业研讨会；以及计算化学和玻璃吹制方面的实践研讨会。除了口头报告，学生们还将在全校范围内的海报会议上展示海报，并为CD汇编投稿。新增11-12名奥地利本科生(由格拉茨技术大学支持的iREU交换项目)将为所有参与者提供重要的国际接触，高中教师的参与(由SU支持)也将为该项目带来重要的新视角，所有参与者都将从中受益。在苏州大学LSAMP、AGEP、McNair和CSTEP项目的支持下，少数族裔学生将在该项目中得到很好的代表。

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.
