Research Experiences for Undergraduates in Chemistry at Syracuse University

该项目由化学部门资助，支持雪城大学化学系的Karin Ruhlandt-Senge博士和其他成员建立和管理一个新的化学本科生研究经验（REU）网站。在2000-2002年期间，36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。该项目的主题将是分子和生物分子电子学，大多数锡拉丘兹大学化学教师将参与其中，并将包括有机、无机、物理以及生物化学方面的项目。除了个人研究项目外，学生还将参加教师研讨会，回顾主题领域的前沿研究，每周教师对参与者研究项目的指导，每周学生报告，专业研究技术研讨会，每周研究小组会议和关于化学研究中感兴趣的主题的迷你课程，如x射线晶体学的使用和玻璃仪器的构造。每位学生将展示一张海报，并准备一篇论文，提交给学生研究杂志。

This project, funded by the Chemistry Division, supports Dr. Karin Ruhlandt-Senge and other members of the Chemistry Department at Syracuse University in establishing and conducting a new Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site in chemistry. For the period 2000-2002 36 undergraduate students will spend ten weeks each conducting summer research under the supervision of Chemistry faculty. The theme of the project will be Molecular and Biomolecular Electronics, in which most Syracuse chemistry faculty will participate, and will encompass projects in organic, inorganic and physical as well as biological chemistry. In addition to individual research projects students will attend faculty seminars reviewing frontier research in the theme area, weekly faculty tutorials on the participant's research project, weekly student presentations, workshops on specialized research techniques, weekly research group meetings and mini courses on topics of interest in chemical research such as the use of X-ray crystallography and construction of glass apparatus. Each student will present a poster and prepare a paper for submission to the Journal of Student Research on her/his project.
