Research Experiences for Undergraduates in Chemistry at the University of Memphis

该项目由化学部门资助，支持博士。Thomas Cundari， Abby Parrill和孟菲斯大学化学系的其他成员建立并开展了一个新的化学本科生研究经验（REU）网站。2000年至2002年期间，21名本科生将在化学教师的指导下，每人花10周时间进行暑期研究。通过研究项目的跨学科和协作性，将强调理论与实验之间的协同作用。该计划将利用大学材料计算研究所的优势，参与者将能够从各种各样的化学项目中进行选择，包括：光活性有机金属的分析和设计，金属配合物的光谱分析和分子电子结构的计算。计算化学短期课程和科学伦理和价值观研讨会将被纳入REU的经验。

This project, funded by the Chemistry Division, supports Drs. Thomas Cundari, Abby Parrill and other members of the Chemistry Department at the University of Memphis in establishing and conducting a new Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site in chemistry. For the period 2000-2002 21 undergraduate students will spend ten weeks each conducting summer research under the supervision of Chemistry faculty. Synergism between theory and experiment will be emphasized through the interdisciplinary and collaborative nature of the research projects. The program will take advantage of the University's Computational Research on Materials Institute and participants cwill be able to choose from among a wide variety of chemical projects including: analysis and design of photoactive organometallics, spectroscopic analysis of metal complexes and computation of molecular electronic structure. A computational chemistry short course and a workshop on scientific ethics and values will be integrated into the REU experience.
