REU Site: Brooklyn Urban Ecology and Environment Program (BUEE)

REU网站：布鲁克林城市生态与环境项目(BUEE)这个REU网站奖授予纽约布鲁克林城市大学布鲁克林学院，将在2018-2020年的夏季支持每年10名学生的培训，为期10周。BUEE提供了一个综合研究项目，旨在将未被充分代表的本科生培养成成熟而有思想的环境科学家。对人与自然系统耦合的真实研究经验将得到一个严格的教育计划的补充，该计划旨在发展研究完整性、科学交流和量化素养方面的实践经验。BUEE利用了布鲁克林学院/CUNY独特的学术和研究资源，包括一个最先进的环境评估和水产研究中心，以及最近在牙买加海湾成立的专注于城市可持续性和弹性的科学和复原力研究所。预计将有30名学生在该计划期间接受培训，这些学生主要来自城市生态和环境研究机会有限的学校。BUEE将从对环境科学和/或政策表现出热情和承诺的当地、地区和国家申请者中挑选不同的申请者，并将在美国最大的城市中心为参与者提供独特的研究机会。社区外展是该计划教育使命的核心，将包括旨在公共教育和同伴指导的活动，以当地社区环境问题为重点的一系列研讨会，以及社区代表参与对学生研究项目的评估和评估。所有REU SITE项目使用的、由生物基础设施司资助的通用网络评估工具将用于确定BUEE培训计划的有效性。项目完成后对学生的纵向跟踪将提供有关REU在为学生从事城市生态和环境科学的职业生涯做准备方面的有效性的数据。学生将被要求回复通过NSF报告系统发送的自动电子邮件。欲了解更多有关英国宇航电子公司的信息，请访问http://buee.brooklyn.cuny.edu，，或联系国际和平组织(Tony Wilson-twilson@brooklyn.cuny.edu)或联合国际组织(Dr.Brett Branco-bbranco@brooklyn.cuny.edu)。

REU Site: Brooklyn Urban Ecology and Environment Program (BUEE)This REU Site award to Brooklyn College of the City University of New York in Brooklyn, NY will support the training of ten students per year for 10 weeks during the summers of 2018-2020. BUEE offers an integrative research program aimed at developing underrepresented undergraduate students into mature and thoughtful environmental scientists. Authentic research experiences on human-coupled natural systems will be complemented by a rigorous educational program aimed at developing practical experience in research integrity, scientific communication and quantitative literacy. BUEE leverages the unique academic and research resources at Brooklyn College/CUNY, including a state-of-the-art environmental assessment and aquatic research center and the recently-established Science and Resilience Institute at Jamaica Bay, focused on urban sustainability and resilience. It is anticipated that thirty students, primarily from schools with limited research opportunities in urban ecology and the environment, will be trained during the program. BUEE will draw from a diverse pool of local, regional, and national applicants who have demonstrated an enthusiastic and committed interest to environmental science and/or policy, and will provide participants with distinctive research opportunities in the largest urban center in the United States. Community outreach is central to the program's educational mission, and will include activities aimed at public education and peer mentoring, a seminar series focusing on environmental issues in the local community, and the involvement of community representatives in the evaluation and assessment of student research projects. A common web-based assessment tool used by all REU Site programs and funded by the Division of Biological Infrastructure will be used to determine the effectiveness of BUEE's training program. Longitudinal tracking of students after program completion will provide data on the effectiveness of the REU in preparing students for careers in urban ecology and the environmental sciences. Students will be asked to respond to an automatic email sent via the NSF reporting system.
