Research Experience for Undergraduates in Chemistry and Physics

该化学部奖支持俄勒冈州大学2005-2007年夏季的本科生研究经验（REU）网站。 节目总监是杰拉尔丁里士满。俄勒冈州REU计划的大学的目标是为感兴趣的本科生提供一个机会，联合收割机在研究工作，包括这两个学科的化学和物理知识。参与者的选择是基于对化学和物理的浓厚兴趣以及进行涉及这两个学科的研究的愿望。来自俄勒冈州大学化学和物理系的17名研究活跃的教师为参与者提供了研究项目，为学生提供了夏季研究的许多选择。拟议的研究项目经过精心设计，以提供具有挑战性，教育性，奖励性和愉快的研究体验。教师帮助学生从一个相对依赖的独立地位移动作为学生的能力在夏季增加。除了可持续的研究外，学生和导师还参加研究研讨会，每周会议，社交活动和学生返回家园后的后续活动。 该项目将试图增加进入化学物理研究生院的学生人数，以及选择该领域进行未来学习和职业的学生的多样性。

This Chemistry Division award supports a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at the University of Oregon for the summers of 2005-2007. The program director is Geraldine Richmond. The objective of the University of Oregon REU Program is to provide interested undergraduate students an opportunity to combine their knowledge in chemistry and physics in research endeavors that encompass both of these disciplines. Selection of the participants is based on a strong interest in both chemistry and physics and a desire to conduct research that involves both disciplines. Seventeen research-active faculty from the Chemistry and Physics departments at the University of Oregon have research projects for the participants, giving students many choices for summer research. The proposed research projects have been carefully designed to provide a research experience that is challenging, educational, rewarding and enjoyable. Faculty help students move from a relatively dependent to independent status as the competency of the student increases over the summer. In addition to the publishable research, the students and mentors participate in research seminars, weekly meetings, social activities and follow-up activities after students return to their home institutions. The project will attempt to increase both the numbers of students entering graduate school in chemical physics and the diversity of the students selecting this field for future study and careers.
