REU Site in Applied Physics at the University of South Florida

1004873 OleynikThis本科生（REU）应用物理学网站的研究经验旨在提供四个推力领域，包括材料物理学，原子，分子光学物理学/传感器，生物医学/生物物理学，和计算物理学高质量的激励研究经验。每年，10名本科生将与教师导师密切合作，专门设计考虑到REU学生有限的研究经验的个人研究项目。研究经验丰富的特殊专业发展计划，以促进研究方法，实验室技能，批判性思维，组织，口头和书面沟通技巧的学习，包括：（一）在计划的第一周广泛的实验和计算技术的研究培训;（二）每周REU范围内的研讨会计划;（三）每周讲座系列？应用物理学进展（iv）关于口语和沟通技能发展的研讨会;（v）关于准备研究生院的研讨会;（vi）项目结束时的REU研讨会。参与者将接触到不同研究小组之间的跨学科互动，并将参与单个研究小组内的团队合作。此外，在USF学生和教师的参与下，为REU学生组织了一个愉快而有意义的社会和文化活动。该计划旨在吸引本科生有有限的可能性，在他们的家乡机构参与全面的研究活动，包括学生主要是本科院校，并在科学和工程代表性不足的群体。

1004873OleynikThis Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Site in Applied Physics aims to provide high quality motivational research experiences in four thrust areas including materials physics, atomic, molecular & optical physics/sensors, biomedical/biophysics, and computational physics. Each year, ten undergraduate students will work closely with faculty mentors on the individual research projects that are specifically designed taking into account the limited research experience of REU students. The research experiences are enriched by a special professional development program to facilitate learning of research methods, laboratory skills, critical thinking, organizational, oral and written communication skills including: (i) extensive research training in experimental and computational techniques during the first week of the program; (ii) weekly REU-wide seminar programs; (iii) a weekly lecture series ?Advances in Applied Physics? and lab tours given by participating REU faculty; (iv) workshops on the development of oral and communication skills; (v) workshops on preparing for graduate school; (vi) the REU symposium at the end of the program.The participants will be exposed to the interdisciplinary interactions between different research groups and will be involved in teamwork within individual research groups. In addition, an enjoyable and meaningful social and cultural program for REU students is organized with participation of USF students and faculty. The program aims at attracting undergraduates that have limited possibility to be involved in full-scale research activities in their home institutions, including students from predominantly undergraduate institutions, and groups underrepresented in science and engineering.
