University of Washington Physics REU Site

华盛顿大学将在2004 - 2006年夏季继续举办“本科生物理研究经验”项目。 每个学生参与者是合作伙伴与华盛顿大学的教员为10周的计划。 学生成为深入参与教师的研究，这可能来自物理学的任何部分，在某些情况下，其他相关的物理科学。 这使学生能够直接参与科学过程，包括但不限于：设计，建造和/或新仪器的调试，数据收集和分析，数值建模，从头计算，统计建模软件的开发和理论。年轻科学家的教育对美国科学的持续成功至关重要。 在华盛顿大学物理系的REU计划已经监督了超过120名学生在其存在的九年，与绝大多数的学生参与者继续研究生院在物理科学，成为参与科学的中学教育，或移动到生物科学进行高级研究。 通过将重点放在缺乏研究机会的小型学院的学生身上，该计划进一步扩大了美国科学人才库。 此外，还努力吸引妇女和少数民族学生。 该项目由华盛顿大学核理论研究所和物理系联合管理。

The University of Washington will continue to host a Physics Research Experiences for Undergraduates Program for the summers of 2004 - 2006. Each student participant is partnered with a UW faculty member for the 10-week program. The students become deeply involved in the faculty member's research, which may come from any part of physics and in some cases other related physical sciences. This allows the student first-hand involvement in the scientific process, including but not limited to: design, construction, and/or commissioning of novel instrumentation, data collection and analysis, numerical modeling, ab initio computation, development of software for statistical modeling, and theory.The education of young scientists is of paramount importance to the continuing success of science in the United States. The REU program at the UW Physics Department has supervised over 120 students in its nine years of existence, with the vast majority of the student participants continuing to graduate school in the physical sciences, becoming involved in secondary education of science, or moving to the biological sciences for advanced study. By placing some emphasis on students from smaller colleges that lack research opportunities, this program further broadens the talent pool for science in the United States. In addition, efforts are made to attract women and minority students. This program is administered jointly by the Institute for Nuclear Theory and the Department of Physics at the University of Washington.
