RUI: San Jose State/IBM Almaden Center Integrated Research and Education Program

这一本科院校研究(RUI)项目得到分析和表面化学计划的支持，作为学术联系工业(GOALI)活动的资助机会，结合圣何塞州立大学(SJSU)和IBM Almaden研究中心(IBM/ARC)的智力和物理资源，为本科生、研究生和高中化学教师提供专注于材料分析和表面化学的综合研究和教育计划。在这笔为期36个月的标准拨款期间，Pesek教授和Scharberg教授以及他们在化学、物理和材料工程系的9名SJSU同事将与IBM/ARC的22名同行一起，共同指导总共22名本科生、研究生、小型大学教职员工和高中化学教师从事材料化学基础和应用研究项目。每个参与者都将在上海交通大学和IBM/ARC的实验室工作，从而使他们能够从学术和工业研究的角度，以及产学合作如何使这两个组织受益。这一学术与产业相结合的研究和教育计划建立在这些组织的开创性工作的基础上，这些组织得到了美国国家科学基金会CHE-9300131拨款的支持。这项合作研究活动的参与者将获得更多对基础和应用科学研究的欣赏，这将鼓励学生攻读更高的学位，小型大学教职员工在其所在机构发起或更积极地追求项目，从而与他们的学生分享研究和发现的兴奋，以及高中教师激励更多的他们自己的学生将科学作为职业。

This Research in Undergraduate Institutions (RUI) project, supported in the Analytical and Surface Chemistry Program as a Grant Opportunities for Academic Liaison with Industry (GOALI) activity, combines intellectual and physical resources of San Jose State University (SJSU) and the IBM Almaden Research Center (IBM/ARC) to offer undergraduate students, graduate students, and high school chemistry teachers an integrated research and education program that focusses on the analytical and surface chemistry of materials. During the tenure of this thirty-six month standard grant, Professors Pesek and Scharberg and nine of their SJSU colleagues in the Departments of Chemistry, Physics, and Materials Engineering will join with twenty-two of their counterparts at IBM/ARC to jointly mentor a total of twenty-two undergraduates, graduate students, small college faculty, and high school chemistry teachers as they pursue fundamental and applied research projects in materials chemistry. Each of the participants will spend time working in laboratories both at SJSU and IBM/ARC, thereby enabling them to gain a perspective on academic as well as industrial research, and how industrial- academic cooperation can benefit the two organizations. This academic-industrial integrated research and education program builds upon the pioneering work of these organizations that was supported under NSF grant CHE-9300131. Participants in this cooperative research activity will gain an enhanced appreciation of basic and applied scientific research which should encourage the students to pursue more advanced degrees, the small college faculty to initiate or more actively pursue projects at their home institutions and thereby share the excitement of research and discovery with their students, and the high school teachers to motivate more of their own students to consider science as a career.
