Wyoming Infrared Observatory's Summer Undergraduate ResearchAssistantship Program.

怀俄明州红外天文台(WIRO)建议继续其夏季本科生研究助理计划(SURAP)，作为国家科学基金会本科生研究体验(REU)站点，在1989和1990年的夏天。苏拉普将继续为本科生提供一个在现代天体物理学方面的令人满意的研究机会。Surap的主要目标是：第一，向本科生介绍现代天体物理学研究的现实经验；第二，让每个本科生熟悉现代天体物理学中几个不同的研究领域；第三，为每个学生提供直接与活跃的专业人员合作的机会，并被赋予成为独立的、有创造力的研究人员的责任；第四，通过一系列的实地考察，让本科生接触到怀俄明州和落基山地区独有的各种额外的科学研究。参与者将来自全国各地的高校。成功的候选人由每个教师导师选出，最终的候选人名单将被挑选出来，以满足我们获得不同学生背景的目标。将特别努力积极招收一、二年级本科生、女性和代表不足的少数民族。与研究体验同时进行的学术课程将帮助学生将这一体验置于更广泛的学术背景下，并提供项目的大致方向。实验室和天文台的经验将是我们研究计划的一部分。

The Wyoming Infrared Observatory (WIRO) proposes to continue its Summer Undergraduate Research Assistantship Program (SURAP) as a National Science Foundation Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site for the summers of 1989 and 1990. SURAP will continue to offer undergraduate students a fulfilling research opportunity in modern astrophysics. The principal goals of SURAP are: first, to introduce the undergraduate to a realistic experience in modern astrophysics research; second, to acquaint each undergraduate to several of the diverse research fields in modern astrophysics; third, to offer each student an opportunity to work directly with active professionals and be given the responsibility to become independent, creative researchers; and fourth, to expose the undergraduate to a wide variety of additional scientific endeavors unique to the Wyoming and Rocky Mountain region through a series of field trips. Participants will come from colleges and universities throughout the nation. Successful candidates are chosen by each faculty advisor and the final list of candidates will be picked to fill our goal to obtain a diverse student background. Special efforts will be made to actively recruit freshman and sophomore undergraduates, women, and under-represented minorities. A concurrent academic course will accompany the research experience to help the students place this experience in a wider academic context and provide a general direction of the program. Laboratory and observatory experience will be part of our tutorial in research program.
