Symposium on Undergraduate Research, October 6-11, 2013 in Orlando, FL.

该奖项是为了支持本科生参加和参加激光科学XXIX会议，2013年10月6日至11日在奥兰多，佛罗里达州。具体来说，学生提出他们的研究在“本科研究研讨会”上星期一2013年10月7日。 前几年的节目在http://www.aps.org/units/dls/meetings/symposium/index.cfm。该项目的智力价值在于本科生展示和传播研究成果，其中许多来自NSF支持的REU项目。更广泛的影响是为这些年轻学生提供参加这种规模的全国会议并进行首次公开演讲的机会。第二个好处是，由于不同大学的学生经常参与类似的项目，他们之间的合作往往在这些会议上诞生。第三个影响是在这些学生之间建立网络，这对他们未来作为专业科学家的职业至关重要，并鼓励他们继续沿着这样的职业道路前进。

This award is to support undergraduate students attending and participating in the Laser Science XXIX Conference, October 6-11, 2013 in Orlando, FL. Specifically, the students present their research in the "Symposium on Undergraduate Research" on Monday Oct 7, 2013. Previous years' programs are at http://www.aps.org/units/dls/meetings/symposium/index.cfm. The intellectual merit of this project is that the undergraduate students present and disseminate the results of the research, many from NSF-supported REU programs.The broader impact is to provide the opportunity for these young students to attend a national meeting of this stature and give their first public talks. A secondary benefit arises because collaborations among them are often born in these sessions since very often students in different universities are involved in similar projects. A third impact is to initiate networking among these students that will be vital to their future careers as professional scientists, and to encourage them to continue along such a career path.
