Baylor University (CASPER) REU/RET Site Proposal

该奖项支持贝勒大学天体物理、空间物理和工程研究中心本科生研究经验和教师研究经验REU/RET网站的延续。30名参与的学生将在充满活力的教师导师的直接指导下，通过在合作研究环境中完成独立的十周项目，积极参与前沿研究。学生的研究机会在天体物理学、复杂等离子体物理、宇宙学、基本粒子物理、核物理、量子光学、空间物理和超弦物理等领域。该网站还为该中心最多15名教师提供了研究机会，他们还开发了课程，并将其带回课堂。参与者每周参加两次研讨会，在夏季结束时举行本科生研究研讨会，并在各种感兴趣的研究领域专门设计课程。

This award supports the continuation of the Research Experiences for Undergraduates and Research Experiences for Teachers REU/RET site within the Center for Astrophysics, Space Physics and Engineering Research at Baylor University. Thirty participating students will be actively engaged in cutting edge research under the direct supervision of energetic faculty mentors through the completion of self-contained ten week projects in a collaborative research environment. Student research opportunities are in the areas of astrophysics, complex plasma physics, cosmology, elementary particle physics, nuclear physics, quantum optics, space physics, and superstring physics. The site further provides research opportunities at the Center for up to fifteen teachers, who also develop curricula to take back into the classroom. Participants engage in twice-weekly seminars, an Undergraduate Research Symposium at the end of the summer and specially designed classes in various research areas of interest.
