Physics REU Site Project

俄勒冈州立大学将启动一个名为“本科生研究经历”的网站。通过全国招生程序，8名本科生将被选为参与为期10周的物理暑期研究项目。重点研究的物理领域包括AMO、计算、固态和核。学生将一起住在校园宿舍里。每名REU学生将与其研究实验室的一名教员建立密切的指导关系。除了研究经验，参与者还将完成一个特别的短期暑期课程，将计算机连接到实验室设备，这是许多研究项目中必不可少的技能，他们还将接受机器车间技术的指导。一个非正式的“物理学文学俱乐部”将每周举行一次会议，讨论具有重大物理内容的文学作品。最后一个小型会议将让学生有机会向他们的同事和物理系的教职员工和学生描述他们的研究。该计划将通过书面调查和口头采访进行评估。

A `Research Experiences for Undergraduates` Site will be initiated at Oregon State University. Through a national recruitment process, 8 undergraduate students will be selected to be involved in a 10-week summer research program in physics. Fields of physics to be emphasized include AMO, computational, solid state, and nuclear. Students will be housed together in campus dormitories. Each REU student will work in a close mentoring relationship with one of the faculty in their research labs. In addition to the research experience, the participants will complete a special short summer course in interfacing computers to laboratory devices, a skill that is essential in many research programs, and they will also receive instruction in machine shop techniques. An informal `physics literary club` will meet weekly and will feature discussion of works of literature that have a significant physics content. A final `mini-conference` will give the students an opportunity to describe their research to their colleagues and to the faculty and students of the Physics Department. The program will be evaluated through written surveys as well as through oral interviews.
