The Ohio State University Summer Physics Institute/REU

*** Palmer这项拨款将为俄亥俄州立大学暑期物理研究所提供初步支持，该研究所旨在通过向学生介绍并参与主要研究型大学物理系的研究活动，鼓励学生从事物理学研究事业。该研究所将支持为期10周的研究实习，包括津贴、生活津贴和旅费。学生将生活和工作在一起，由他们的教师导师指导，在研究小组，包括研究生和博士后学生。他们将参与有关计算物理、仪器仪表和电子学、车间安全和程序的教程，但主要重点将是教师导师和学生共同开发的项目。小组活动的目的是促进实习学生和部门的学生和教师研究人员之间的互动和关系。每个实习生将在夏季初写一份项目说明书，并在夏季结束时写一份最终的口头和书面报告。该项目面向物理专业本科学生，大二至大三或大三至大四之间的学生，但鼓励所有本科生申请。重点将是区域性的，但该研究所将在全国范围内进行宣传。将特别努力使妇女和少数民族参与其中。我们强烈鼓励该地区的许多小型本科院校发送申请者。招聘和选拔委员会包括一名当地小型学院的代表，以及在少数民族和妇女服务领域全国知名的教员。＊＊＊

*** Palmer This grant will provide initial support for the Ohio State University Summer Physics Institute which is designed to encourage students to pursue research careers in physics by introducing them to and engaging in the research activities of a major research university physics department. The Institute will support ten-week research internships, including a stipend, subsistence, and travel. Students will live and work together, guided by their faculty mentors, in research groups that include graduate students and post- doctoral students. They will engage in tutorials on computational physics, instrumentation and electronics, and shop safety and procedures, but the main focus will be the project that the faculty mentor and the students jointly develop. Group activities are designed to promote interactions and relationships among the intern students and the Department's student and faculty researchers. Each intern will write a project prospectus early in the summer and a final oral and written report at the end of the summer. The program is intended for students who are physics majors in undergraduate programs and who are between their sophomore and junior year or their junior and senior year, but all undergraduates are encouraged to apply. The focus will be regional, but the Institute will be advertised nationally. A particular attempt will be made to involve women and minorities. The many small undergraduate institutions in the region will be strongly encouraged to send applicants. The recruitment and selection committee includes a representative of a local small college, as well as faculty members nationally prominent in areas of outreach to minorities and women. ***
