REU SITE: Physics and Astrophysics at TCU

德克萨斯基督教大学的本科生研究经验（REU）网站每年夏天为七名本科生提供参与原子，分子，生物，化学和统计物理学以及天文学和行星科学主题研究的机会。除了与经验丰富的导师一起参与研究外，REU学生还将参加每周的活动，以确保他们的研究不仅保持在正轨上，而且他们有一个引人入胜的大学和学术经验。到课程结束时，每个学生都将对他们的工作进行正式介绍;准备会议海报和10页的报告。这个REU网站将产生一些更广泛的影响。该网站有一个强有力的计划，从物理学和天文学代表性不足的群体中招募本科生，并从非研究型机构中招募学生。该项目计划通过短期和长期评估提供信息，并由一个咨询委员会指导。

This Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at Texas Christian University provides seven undergraduate students each summer the opportunity to participate in research on topics in atomic, molecular, bio, chemical, and statistical physics, as well as astronomy and planetary science. In addition to participating in research with an experienced mentor, the REU students will engage in weekly activities to ensure not only that their research stays on track but that they have an engaging collegial and scholarly experience. By the end of the program, every student will have given a formal presentation about their work; prepared a conference poster and a 10-page report. This REU site will have a number of broader impacts. The site has a strong plan to recruit undergraduate students from groups underrepresented in physics and astronomy and has at its goal to recruit students from non-research focused institutions. The project plans to be informed by both short term and long term evaluations and is guided by an advisory committee.
