IRES: Carroll University CREATE Program

国际学生研究体验项目（IRES）为15名卡罗尔大学的学生提供在苏格兰斯特拉斯克莱德大学为期12周的研究体验。该项目的目标是双重的。第一，培养学生？跨学科的科学研究技能，将其嵌入小型本科院校无法提供的项目和设施中。为了实现这一目标，每个学生都将参加一个研究小组和项目，在斯特拉思赛德纯粹与应用化学系进行一个夏天的研究。第二个目标是通过强调体验的文化方面，使学生在相互依存和多元文化的科学环境（以及未来的职业生涯）中茁壮成长。这个项目通过旅行前的文化能力课程、海外文化研讨会以及在另一种文化中生活和工作的一个夏天的经历，提高了学生的跨文化意识和能力。为了支持更广泛的参与这个项目，我们特别努力从传统上在科学领域代表性不足的群体中招募学生。学生们将要从事的研究是最前沿的，并且与当今高度相关。年代的世界。在斯特拉斯克莱德大学期间，我们的学生将开展与替代能源技术、纳米科学和材料化学相关的个人项目。特别是，他们将致力于自组装有机光伏材料，氧化还原液流电池系统，以及用于医疗诊断和治疗的纳米颗粒组件。学生们将受益于研究一些最先进的仪器，同时与在各自领域出类拔萃的研究人员合作。所有学生都将在地方和国家会议上展示他们的工作，我们期望许多学生也将为同行评审的出版物做出贡献，从而帮助将他们的成果传播到更广泛的科学界。

This International Research Experiences for Students (IRES) project provides a 12-week research experience at the University of Strathclyde in Scotland for fifteen Carroll University students. The goals of the project are twofold. First, to develop students? cross-disciplinary scientific research skills by embedding them in projects and facilities that are not available at a small undergraduate institution. To achieve this goal, each student will join a research group and project in the Department of Pure and Applied Chemistry at Strathcylde for a summer of research. The second goal is to prepare students to thrive in an interdependent and multicultural scientific environment (and future career) by emphasizing the cultural aspects of the experience. This program produces increased cross-cultural awareness and competence - derived from a pre-trip cultural competence course, cultural seminars overseas, and the experience of living and working in another culture for a summer. In order to support broader participation in this project, special effort is given to recruiting into the program students from groups that are traditionally underrepresented in the sciences. The research that the students will undertake is cutting-edge and highly relevant to today?s world. While at Strathclyde, our students will carry out individual projects related to alternative energy technology, nanoscience and materials chemistry. In particular, they will work on self-assembled organic photovoltaic materials, redox flow battery systems, and nanoparticle assemblies for healthcare diagnostics and therapy. The students will benefit from working on some of the most advanced instrumentation available, while collaborating with researchers who are pre-eminent in their fields. All students will present their work at local and national meetings, and we expect that many of the students will also contribute to peer-reviewed publications, thus helping to disseminate their results to the broader scientific community.
