REU Site: Idaho Physics Research for Undergraduates

该奖项旨在支持爱达荷州莫斯科爱达荷大学本科生研究经验（REU）项目的更新。参与REU网站的学生的目标是：1)通过积极参与研究来介绍物理研究的兴奋，2)在科学方法和科学研究的伦理维度方面进行培训，3)发展团队建设技能，4)发展科学职业意识，5)通过招募传统上代表性不足的群体的学生来发展多样性意识。爱达荷物理学院将设计具有挑战性但可行的研究项目。将提供理论和实验项目。学生将被鼓励在小组中工作，以培养团队合作能力。每周的会议将举行，让学生互动，并保持彼此的进度张贴。REU的学生将与爱达荷州的教师、研究人员、博士后研究人员、研究生和本科生进行互动。补充活动将包括每周与教师共进午餐和周末活动，围绕着爱达荷州丰富的户外体验。该项目将以REU学生的研究报告结束。该站点由国防部与NSF REU项目合作资助。

This award is to support the renewal of the Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site program at the University of Idaho in Moscow, Idaho. The objectives for the students participating in this REU site are: 1) Introduction to the excitement of physics research through active participation in research, 2) Training in the scientific method and the ethical dimensions of scientific research, 3) Development of team-building skills, 4) Scientific career awareness development, and 5) Diversity awareness development by recruitment of students from traditionally underrepresented groups. The Idaho physics faculty will design research projects that are challenging yet viable. Both theoretical and experimental projects will be made available. The students will be encouraged to work in small groups to foster teamwork skills. Weekly meetings will be held to allow the students to interact and to keep each other posted on their progress. The REU students will interact with Idaho faculty, research staff personnel, post-doctoral researchers, graduate students and undergraduates. Supplementary activities will include weekly lunch together with faculty and weekend activities that revolve around the tremendous outdoor experiences available in Idaho. The program will conclude with REU student research presentations. The site is co-funded by the Department of Defense in partnership with the NSF REU program.
