Research Experiences for Undergraduates in Physics and Astronomy at Clemson University (REU Site)

机构：克莱姆森大学编号：Barnes， PeterA本科生研究经验（REU）网站将在克莱姆森大学启动，由Peter Barnes指导。该网站将在夏季接待8-10名本科生，为期10周。目标是：1。让本科生参与研究项目；2 .教学生在团队导向的项目中工作；3 .举办关于口头和书面交流的讲习班；鼓励学生从事科学和科学事业。帮助来自弱势家庭的学生。分配给访问本科生的项目是克莱姆森大学物理与天文学系研究工作的组成部分。主要研究领域包括大气和空间物理学、天文学和天体物理学、生物物理学和凝聚态物理学。REU项目将包括理论和实验研究。招募工作将在全国范围内进行，特别强调从南卡罗来纳州的传统黑人大学和学院招募学生。该站点由国防部与NSF REU项目合作提供支持。

Proposal ID: AST-0353849Institution: Clemson UniversityPI: Barnes, PeterA Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site will be initiated at Clemson University, under the direction of Peter Barnes. The site will host 8-10 undergraduate students for ten weeks during the summer. The objectives are 1. to involve undergraduate students in research projects, 2. to teach students to work on team oriented projects, 3. to conduct workshops on oral and written communications, 4. to encourage students to pursue careers in science and 5. to reach out to students from disadvantaged backgrounds. The projects to be assigned to the visiting undergraduates are integral parts of the research efforts in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Clemson University. The principal areas of study include Atmospheric and Space Physics, Astronomy and Astrophysics, Biophysics, and Condensed Matter Physics. The REU projects will encompass both theoretical and experimental research.Recruiting efforts will be conducted on a nationwide basis, with special emphasis placed upon recruiting students from Historically Black Universities and Colleges in the state of South Carolina.This site is supported by the Department of Defense in partnership with the NSF REU program.
