New REU Site: REU Program in Physics and Astronomy at Texas A&M University-Commerce

这个奖项是为了支持在得克萨斯州农工大学商业本科生网站的新的研究经验。 该网站将主要从全国各地的两年制社区大学招聘。这种模式解决了国家的需求，特别是在农村地区，以支持社区大学STEM专业，因为他们过渡到大学完成物理科学学士学位。 在每年夏天的十周内，十名REU学生将与由教师领导的TAMU-C研究团队进行积极的研究，可能包括研究科学家，博士后，研究生和高年级本科生，从而在物理学和天文学的专业期刊/会议上发表论文。 项目将在五个领域提供：天文学和天体物理学，核和粒子物理学，材料科学，计算和数学物理，工程和应用物理。 该奖项由物理学部和天文科学部共同资助。

This award is to support a new Research Experiences for Undergraduates site at Texas A&M University-Commerce. The site will recruit primarily from 2 year community colleges across the nation. This model addresses a national need, especially in rural areas, to support community college STEM majors as they make transitions to universities to complete their bachelor's degree in physical sciences. During ten weeks each summer, ten REU students will engage in active research with TAMU-C research teams led by faculty members and may include research scientists, postdocs, graduate and senior undergraduate students resulting in publications in professional journals/meetings in physics and astronomy. Projects will be available in five areas: Astronomy and Astrophysics, Nuclear and Particle Physics, Material Sciences, Computational and Mathematical Physics, and Engineering and Applied Physics. This award is co-funded by the Division of Physics and the Division of Astronomical Sciences.
