项目摘要

This award supports a new Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at the University of Utah. The site will support eight students for ten weeks of summer research in topics in Physics and Astronomy. The Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Utah currently offers a wide variety of research opportunities and has a history of developing and managing high-quality, cohort-based summer research programs both for its own students and those visiting from other institutions. The objectives of the University of Utah Physics and Astronomy REU site program are to:1. engage students in full-time active research;2. provide professional development opportunities for students and mentors;3. motivate students towards science and STEM careers by constructing an engaging, inclusive, and supportive cohort experience; and4. improve students' science literacy and oral and written communication skills.Students who participate in this site will engage in a variety of activities that encompass: 1) rigorous and diverse research projects; 2) professional and career development workshops; 3) introduction into the scientific community culture; 4) community building; and 5) personalized mentorship. Students may also find research projects at Telescope Array (Delta, UT); VERITAS (Tucson, AZ); Frisco Peak Observatory (Milford, UT); and HAWC (Sierra Negra, MX).

该奖项支持犹他大学的一个新的本科生研究体验(REU)网站。该网站将支持八名学生进行为期十周的物理和天文学主题的暑期研究。犹他大学物理和天文学系目前提供了各种各样的研究机会，并有为本系学生和来自其他机构的来访者开发和管理高质量的、基于队列的暑期研究项目的历史。犹他大学物理和天文学REU站点项目的目标是：1.让学生参与全职的积极研究；2.为学生和导师提供职业发展机会；3.通过构建一个吸引人的、包容的和支持性的队列体验，激励学生走向科学和STEM职业；以及4.提高学生的科学素养和口头和书面沟通能力。参与该网站的学生将参与各种活动，包括：1)严谨和多样化的研究项目；2)专业和职业发展研讨会；3)科学社区文化介绍；4)社区建设；5)个性化指导。学生们还可以在望远镜阵列(Delta，UT)、Veritas(图森，亚利桑那州)、Frisco Peak天文台(米尔福德，UT)和HAWC(Sierra Negra，MX)找到研究项目。
