Undergraduate Research

该补助金将继续支持华盛顿大学的本科生物理学项目的研究经验。 该计划为未来的学生提供各种各样的研究机会：天体物理学和宇宙学，原子物理学，核物理学，凝聚态物理学，粒子物理学和物理教育。 每个学生都与一位导师配对，导师通常由感兴趣的博士后和高级研究生提供支持。 该计划为期10周，包括机械车间课程、关于物理研究机会的教师系列讲座以及非正式的周一聚会。 为鼓励妇女和少数群体成员申请和参与作出了特别努力。 由于新的UW物理/天文学大楼达到或超过了最新的ADA标准，我们还强调我们有能力满足身体残疾学生的需求。 由于通常每10名学生中就有一名与UW物理教育集团合作，我们的项目也对在职中小学教师的培训产生了影响。

This grant will continue support for the Research Experiences for Undergraduates physics program at the University of Washington. The program offers prospective students a wide variety of research opportunities: astrophysics and cosmology, atomic physics, nuclear physics, condensed matter physics, particle physics, and physics education. Each student is paired with a faculty advisor, who often is supported by interested postdocs and advanced graduate students. The program lasts 10 weeks and includes a machine shop course, a faculty lecture series on research opportunities in physics, and informal Monday gatherings. Special efforts are made to encourage women and minority group members to apply and participate. As the new UW physics/astronomy building meets or exceeds the latest ADA standards, we also emphasize our ability to accommodate the needs of physically challenged students. As typically one student in 10 works with the UW Physics Education Group, our project also has an impact on the training of in-service elementary and secondary teachers.
