Undergraduate Research in Experimental Physics: Summer Bridge Program

9322089 Thews机会为本科生参加正在进行的研究项目在实验物理结构在夏季REU计划。 学生可以从各种各样的前沿物理活动中选择，在亚利桑那大学物理系高级教师的指导下。 主要的学生观众将是那些谁已经完成了在皮马社区学院的科学或工程的第一年或第二年课程的等效，在准备转移到一个4年制学位课程。 该计划也将提供给来自亚利桑那州南部以外地区的学生，他们将在夏季居住在图森。 来自物理系的研究生助教将担任学生的导师。 特殊的方向和技能活动将单独定制，使学生能够为研究项目做出重大贡献。 在许多情况下，学生有机会在夏季REU课程完成后继续与研究项目联系，最常见的是作为付费实验室助理。 征聘活动将特别重视妇女和任职人数不足的少数民族。 因为大多数学生将在他们的科学教育的早期开始在这个程序，我们鼓励他们的发展的连续性，允许过去的参与者申请入学在随后的夏季会议。 ***

9322089 Thews Opportunities for undergraduate students to participate in ongoing research projects in experimental physics are structured in a summer REU program. Students may choose from a wide variety of forefront physics activities, under the direction of senior faculty members from the Department of Physics at the University of Arizona. The main student audience will be those who have finished the equivalent of the first or second year curriculum in science or engineering at Pima Community College, in preparation for transfer to a 4-year degree program. This program will also be available to similarly prepared students from regions outside southern Arizona who will be resident in Tucson during the summer. Graduate Teaching Assistants from the physics department will serve as mentors for the students. Special orientation and skills activities will be individually tailored to enable the students to make significant contributions to the research projects. Opportunities exist in many cases for the students to continue their associations with the research project after the completion of the summer REU program, most often as paid laboratory associates. Recruitment activities will place special emphasis on women and underrepresented minorities. Because most students will start in this program at a very early point in their scientific education, we encourage continuity in their development by allowing past participants to apply for admission in subsequent summer sessions. ***
