项目摘要

This award supports the renewal of the Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign. The Department of Physics at the University hosts an intensive 10-week summer research program for 12 undergraduates per year, who are integrated into existing research groups led by senior faculty. Students are exposed to life at a large public research university that has extensive research activities across a full range of physics subfields. During the program, students perform hands-on research in projects on important scientific problems. In addition to research skills, participants are trained in computing in physics, error analysis, technical communications, research collaboration practices, and professional ethics skills which are essential to their future success. The REU students are also exposed to career options through talks and workshops and receive advice on applying for graduate school and graduate research fellowships.The intellectual focus of the program is to teach students not only how to do physics, but also how to be physicists. Students work on cutting-edge research projects that apply the tools of physics to important problems in traditional physics subdisciplines as well as in materials science, nanotechnology, molecular biology, and high-performance computing. Students also have ample opportunities to learn about technical communications, research collaboration and networking, and responsible conduct of research. An intangible but real contribution to the project is the University's research infrastructure. The REU students have the benefit of state-of-the-art research laboratories, extraordinary computer and visualization facilities, desk-top access to library collections and services, and the student computer laboratory in Loomis Laboratory.

该奖项支持更新伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟分校的本科生研究经验(REU)网站。该大学物理系每年为12名本科生举办为期10周的密集暑期研究项目，他们被整合到由资深教师领导的现有研究小组中。学生们接触到了一所大型公立研究型大学的生活，该大学在所有物理子领域都有广泛的研究活动。在该项目期间，学生们在重要科学问题的项目中进行实践研究。除研究技能外，参与者还接受物理计算、错误分析、技术交流、研究协作实践和职业道德技能方面的培训，这些技能对他们未来的成功至关重要。REU的学生还可以通过讲座和研讨会获得职业选择，并获得申请研究生院和研究生研究奖学金的建议。该项目的智力重点不仅是教会学生如何做物理，而且还教会他们如何成为物理学家。学生从事前沿研究项目，将物理工具应用于传统物理分支学科以及材料科学、纳米技术、分子生物学和高性能计算中的重要问题。学生还有大量机会学习技术交流、研究协作和网络，以及负责任的研究行为。对该项目的一个无形但实际的贡献是该大学的研究基础设施。罗密欧大学的学生拥有最先进的研究实验室、非凡的计算机和可视化设施、桌面访问图书馆藏品和服务，以及卢米斯实验室的学生计算机实验室。
