REU: Interdisciplinary Undergraduate Research in Environmental Science

摘要提案：ch -0243659日期：1-15-2003PI: Broadbelt机构：德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校这个位于德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校的REU站点将使学生接触到环境科学。来自化学、地质科学、综合生物学、药学四个系的12名教师将担任研究导师。所有教师都是环境科学研究所的成员。这些研究项目将发展传统科学领域的专业知识，同时与其他学科联合起来解决复杂问题。8至9名学生将参与为期10周的研究和相关活动。招聘重点将放在主要来自德克萨斯州的本科院校的学生身上，这些院校的学生中有很大一部分来自历史上代表性不足的背景。该网站的第二个主题是“科学传播”。学生将与技术作家互动。他们将为一本“发现”类杂志准备文章，并为夏末的海报会议准备海报。学生还将参与三次“实地研究”科学考察，以介绍他们在非实验室基础上的科学努力。

AbstractProposal: CHE-0243659 Date: 1-15-2003PI: Broadbelt Institution: U of Texas AustinThis REU site at the University of Texas, Austin will expose students to environmental science. Twelve faculty from four departments (chemistry, geological sciences, integrative biology, pharmacy) will be the research mentors. All faculty are members of the Environmental Science Institute. The research projects will develop expertise in a traditional area of science while uniting with other disciplines to attack complex problems. Eight to nine students will be involved in 10 weeks of research and associated activities. The recruiting emphasis will focus on students from undergraduate institutions mainly from Texas that have a high proportion of students from historically underrepresented backgrounds,. A secondary theme of the site is "science communication". Students will interact with a technical writer. They will prepare articles for a "discovery" type magazine and a poster for a poster session at the end of the summer. The students will also engage in three "field study" scientific excursions to introduce them to non-laboratory based scientific endeavors.
