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的本科生研究经验和教师研究经验REU/RET网站的继续。30名参与的学生将在精力充沛的教师导师的直接监督下，通过在合作研究环境中完成自给自足的十周项目，积极参与尖端研究。学生的研究机会包括天体物理、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。该网站还为多达15名教师提供了在该中心进行研究的机会，这些教师还制定了课程，并将其带回课堂。参与者每周参加两次研讨会，在暑期结束时举行本科生研究研讨会，并专门设计各种感兴趣的研究领域的课程。

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.
