A Community College REU Site for Physics Applicati

昆士兰社区学院的本科生研究经验（REU）网站将产生许多更广泛的影响，其重点是为本科生提供研究机会，帮助他们为未来的科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）职业做好准备。该网站的重点是为没有研究经验的社区大学学生提供研究机会。该网站有一个强大的计划，从物理学中代表性不足的群体中招募学生。项目由评估指导，该评估将评估项目目标的实现情况。这个网站可以成为其他社区大学的榜样。预计与REU网站有关的活动将鼓励社区学院的教师继续参与或参与研究，并使他们的学生参与研究。位于Queensborough社区学院的REU网站每年夏天为八名本科生提供为期十周的物理教育和物理主题研究机会，以及天文学，生物学和地球科学的跨学科项目。此外，将选出四名学生在学年期间进行研究。REU网站的目标之一是让学生在转入STEM学科的四年制大学时具备竞争力。除了与经验丰富的导师一起参与研究之外，学生们还将参与活动，不仅确保他们的研究保持在正轨上，而且确保他们有一个引人入胜的大学和学术经历。在课程结束时，每个学生都将在研讨会上展示他们的工作成果。

This Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at Queensborough Community College will have a number of broader impacts with its focus on providing research opportunities to undergraduates to help prepare them for future science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) careers. The site focuses on providing research opportunities to students from community colleges who have had no prior research experience. The site has a strong plan to recruit students from groups underrepresented in physics. The project is guided by an evaluation that will assess how well the goals of the project are being met. This site can be a model for other community colleges. It is anticipated that the activities related to the REU site will encourage community college faculty to maintain their involvement in or become involved in research and to include their students in that research.The REU site at Queensborough Community College provides opportunities to eight undergraduate students each summer for ten weeks of research on topics in physics education and physics, along with interdisciplinary projects in astronomy, biology and the geosciences. Additionally, four students will be selected to conduct research during the academic year. One of the goals of the REU site is to prepare the students to be competitive for transfer to a four-year college in a STEM discipline. In addition to participating in research with an experienced mentor, the students will engage in 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 present the results of their work in a seminar talk.
