Summer Undergraduate Research Program

* 海德这个补助金继续在过去三个夏天在贝勒已经到位，目前由贝勒和国家科学基金会支持的夏季本科研究计划。 七名学生将从公开申请中选出，该项目在全国各地的大学、研究能力很少或根本没有研究能力的小型本科院校以及历史上的少数民族院校做广告。 完整的申请信息，部门研究信息以及申请程序的能力“在线”通过位于www.baylor.edu/homepages/emp/Truell_Hyde/Scripts/URC.html的万维网网页提供。 (This允许那些通常不鼓励这种暑期课程的机构的学生获得所需的信息，并为他们提供申请机会）。 在招聘过程中（特别是针对少数民族、妇女和小型学校的学生），PI与五个州地区此类小型学校的教师以及PI的研究生（其中两名是女性）进行了接触，这些研究生从招聘过程开始并持续到夏季课程，与NSF研究员进行了个人接触。 总的来说，这些允许识别和招聘优秀学生从小型，私人机构在得克萨斯州，俄克拉荷马州，路易斯安那州，阿肯色州和堪萨斯地区。 主要是黑人和西班牙裔校园将特别针对以及主要是少数民族初级学院。 德克萨斯州的每一所学院和大学都将被纳入招聘工作，因为其中许多学院和大学都有大量的西班牙裔学生。 NSF研究员将在夏季与来自美国和其他几个国家的贝勒大学本科生和研究生进行互动。 他们将参加每周两次的研讨会，社交活动，夏季本科生研究研讨会的结束，以及在各种感兴趣的物理学研究领域专门设计的课程。 和过去一样，预计至少有一些由NSF研究员完成的夏季研究将产生同行评审的出版物。 与NSF化学REU夏季计划合作，将在同一栋大楼内举办附近工业和研究设施的旅行，社会活动以及联合研究研讨会（如过去一样）。 这为NSF提供了更多的夏季研究员，在十周的时间里与他们互动，并有助于产生一个“大”计划的感觉。 ***

*** Hyde This grant continues a summer undergraduate research program already in place for the past three summers at Baylor and currently supported by both Baylor and the National Science Foundation. Seven students will be selected from open applications with the program advertised at universities around the nation, smaller undergraduate institutions with little or no research capability and historically minority institutions. Complete application information, departmental research information as well as the ability to apply to the program "on line" is provided through a World Wide Web page located at www.baylor.edu/homepages/emp/Truell_Hyde/Scripts/URC.html. (This allows students whose institutions do not customarily encourage such summer programs to have access to the required information and offers them the opportunity to apply). The recruiting process (particularly for minorities, women and students from small schools) is aided by the PI's contact with faculty at such small schools in the five state area as well as by the PI's graduate students (two of which are women) who provide personal contact with the NSF Fellows starting with the recruitment process and continuing through the summer program. Taken together, these allow identification and recruitment of outstanding students from small, private institutions in the Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas and Kansas areas. Predominantly Black and Hispanic campuses will be specifically targeted as well predominantly minority junior colleges. Every college and university in the state of Texas will be included in the recruitment effort since many of them have large Hispanic enrollments. The NSF Fellows will interact during the summer with Baylor undergraduate and graduate students from both the United States and several foreign countries. They will participate in twice weekly seminars, social activities, an end of the summer Undergraduate Research Symposium and specially designed classes in various phy sics research fields of interest. As in the past, it is expected that at least some of the summer research done by the NSF Fellows will result in peer- reviewed publications. Trips to nearby industries and research facilities, social activities as well as joint research seminars will be offered (as in the past) in cooperation with the NSF Chemistry REU Summer Program to be held in the same building. This provides for a much larger number of NSF Summer Fellows with which to interact during the ten week period and aids in producing a "large" program feel. ***
