REU Site: Summer Program for Research in Applied Psychology

克莱姆森暑期应用心理学课程为学生提供了人的因素和健康心理学方面的研究培训。该计划的目标是提高有才华的学生对研究、科学和科学事业的兴趣、理解和承诺。这些目标应该增加和维持学生参与研究、专业活动和进入研究生课程。被选中的学生将在数学、生物科学、社会科学和/或工业工程方面有很强的背景，将对科学和研究表现出潜在的兴趣和承诺，并且将主要从非研究型学院和大学中选出。项目活动将包括一个由心理学和工业工程系11名教员参与的合作研究项目。支持活动将包括应用心理学研究方法的课程作业（3学时）、研讨会、实地考察和应用心理学会议。工业界、政府和教育界的研究伙伴将通过参与支持活动和研究项目进行合作。学生们将在应用心理学会议上展示他们的研究成果。后续的年度活动将包括额外的专业演讲、合作出版物的旅行支持，以及支持研究生项目申请的建议。该计划的智力价值在于识别和评估提高学生对科学和科学职业的理解的技术，增加学生对专业活动的参与，并鼓励学生申请科学研究生课程。该计划更广泛的影响是通过该计划的明显成功促进机构层面的本科研究，通过专业的全国传播该计划的特点和成果，提供有效的本科科学教育模式，促进代表性不足群体的参与，并通过与国防，工业和政府实体的合作，将该计划的利益扩展到公共和私营部门。该奖项有助于基金会继续努力，通过积极的本科研究经历吸引有才华的学生进入科学事业。本网站由国防部与NSF REU计划合作提供支持。

The Clemson Summer Program in Applied Psychology provides student participants with research training in human factors and health psychology. The program objectives are to increase talented students' interest, understanding, and commitment to research, science, and scientific careers. These objectives should increase and sustain student participation in research, professional activities, and entry into graduate programs. The students selected will have strong backgrounds in mathematics, biological science, social science, and/or industrial engineering, will exhibit potential interest and commitment to science and research, and will be selected mainly from non-research colleges and universities. Program activities will include a supervised program of collaborative research with eleven participating faculty from the Psychology and Industrial Engineering Departments. Support activities will include course work (3 credit hours) in research methods in applied psychology, seminars, site-visits, and the Conference in Applied Psychology. Research partners in industry, government, and education will collaborate via participation in support activities and research projects. Students will present the results of their research at the Conference on Applied Psychology. Follow-through annual activities will include travel support for additional professional presentations, collaborative publications, and advising to support applications to graduate programs. The intellectual merit of the program is to identify and evaluate techniques that increase student understanding of science and science careers, increase student participation in professional activities, and encourage student application to graduate programs in science. The broader impact of the program is to promote undergraduate research at the institutional level through the visible success of the program, to provide a model of effective undergraduate science education through professional national dissemination of the program characteristics and outcomes, to promote participation by underrepresented groups, and to extend the benefits of the program to the public and private sector through partnerships with defense, industry, and government entities. This award contributes to the Foundation's continuing efforts to attract talented students into careers in science through active undergraduate research experiences. This Site is supported by the Department of Defense in partnership with the NSF REU program.
