The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill will host a ten-week Computational Astronomy and Physics (CAP) Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) summer program, starting with a "beta-plus" program for local UNC and North Carolina Central University students in 2012 followed by a fully funded national program running for three years from 2013-2015. The CAP Program will address the acute need for computational science training opportunities for undergraduates, providing both hands-on seminars on computational methods and individual research experiences involving techniques ranging from numerical simulation to visualization to computationally intensive data modeling to remote instrument control. Specific projects will build on UNC faculty research efforts in astrophysics, bio/medical physics, condensed matter physics and nanotechnology, fluid dynamics, and nuclear/particle physics. Students will gain professional skills by preparing poster and talk presentations and written reports, as well as by attending seminars on research ethics, literature search strategies, and communication skills.

位于查佩尔山的北卡罗来纳州大学将举办为期十周的本科生计算天文学和物理学（CAP）研究体验（REU）暑期项目，首先是2012年为当地大学和北卡罗来纳州中央大学学生举办的“beta+”项目，然后是2013-2015年为期三年的全额资助的国家项目。CAP计划将满足本科生对计算科学培训机会的迫切需求，提供有关计算方法的实践研讨会和个人研究经验，涉及从数值模拟到可视化到计算密集型数据建模到远程仪器控制的技术。具体项目将建立在天体物理学，生物/医学物理学，凝聚态物理学和纳米技术，流体动力学和核/粒子物理学的基础上。学生将通过准备海报和演讲和书面报告，以及参加研究伦理，文献检索策略和沟通技巧研讨会获得专业技能。欲了解更多信息，请访问http://www.physics.unc.edu/cap或联系[e-mail]。
