University of Washington Physics REU Site

我们建议将华盛顿大学的本科生物理研究经历项目再延长三年。该项目每年夏天将大约14名本科生带到校园，与当地教师、博士后和学生一起从事前沿研究项目。该项目由一名主任和一名副主任管理，他们每周与学生开两次会，安排和监督研究任务，并根据需要设立机械车间和其他特殊指导。在为期10周的访问结束时，学生们就他们的研究活动举行研讨会，并撰写论文总结他们的成果。这个项目竞争非常激烈，每个空缺大约有20人申请。该项目由核理论研究所和物理系联合管理。学生们一起住在一个校园宿舍里。努力吸引小规模学院的学生、女性和少数民族学生。

We propose to continue the University of Washington Physics Research Experiences for Undergraduates Program for an additional three years. The program brings approximately 14 undergraduates to campus each summer to work with local faculty, postdocs, and students on forefront research projects. The program is administered by a director and codirector who run two weekly meetings with the students, arrange and oversee the research assignments, and set up machine shop and other special instruction, as needed. At the end of their 10 week visits, the students present seminars on their research activities and write papers summarizing their accomplishments. The program is highly competitive, with about 20 applications per opening. The program is administered jointly by the Institute for Nuclear Theory and the Department of Physics. The students are housed together in a campus dorm. Efforts are made to attract students from small colleges and women and minority students.
