REU Site: Research on Chemical and Radiation Sensors at the University of North Carolina at Pembroke

化学系奖支持北卡罗来纳大学彭布罗克分校2004-2006年夏季的本科生研究经验(REU)网站。物理部为这个网站提供资金。保罗·A·弗劳尔斯是该网站的负责人。该网站每年暑假将为6名学生提供为期10周的研究体验。这些研究项目的特点是与开发用于现场测量的化学和辐射传感器有关的基础研究。同样数量的北卡罗来纳州立大学彭布罗克分校和社区学院的学生将被招募到化学或物理教师导师的指导下进行配对工作。招生将针对彭布罗克学生和拥有不同学生群体的地区社区大学。彭布罗克是一个历史悠久的美洲原住民机构。该计划将在每年夏天结束时举行一次学生研究研讨会。在他们的暑期研究之后，学生研究人员将参加一个在线阅读和作业课程，涉及科学文献和研究交流。评估数据将从调查、对学生陈述的评估、在线课程和项目结束后的跟踪中汇编。

The Chemistry Division award supports a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at the University of North Carolina, Pembroke, for the summers of 2004-2006. The Physics Division cofunds this site. Paul A. Flowers is the site director. This site will provide research experiences for 6 students for 10 weeks each summer. The research projects feature fundamental studies relevant to the development of chemical and radiation sensors for in situ measurements. Equal numbers of UNC Pembroke and community college students will be recruited to work in pairs with a chemistry or physics faculty mentor. Recruitment will target the Pembroke students and regional community colleges with diverse student populations. Pembroke is a historically Native American institution. The program will conclude each summer with a student research symposium. Following their summer research, student researchers will participate in an on-line course of readings and assignments involving the scientific literature and communication of research. Assessment data will be compiled from surveys, evaluations of student presentations, the on-line course, and post-program tracking.
