Chemistry REU Site at the University of Cincinnati

该化学部奖支持辛辛那提大学2005-2007年夏季的本科生研究经验（REU）网站。 该计划的主任是布鲁斯奥尔特谁是协助共同PI安娜Gudmundsdottir。 十名学生将解决来自化学五大领域之一的科学问题：分析化学，生物化学，无机化学，有机化学和物理化学。这些学生将与12名参与教师中的一名密切合作，这些教师因其研究成就和与本科研究人员合作的成功经验而被精心挑选。这些项目将以这样一种方式进行规划，即允许在十周内取得切实的成就，但又具有足够的开放性，以应对新的研究挑战。教育活动将包括实践提高研究技能，指导专业能力，如简历写作和面试，职业选择和规划研讨会，以及讨论科学中至关重要的问题。对少数族裔招聘的关注，加上HBCU一名教员参与该计划，将扩大和加强工作场所代表性不足的少数族裔群体。与校园团体的互动，包括化学工程REU计划，项目种子学生和学生在大学的WISE（妇女在科学和工程）计划将进一步拓宽学生在这个REU计划的观点。

This Chemistry Division award supports a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at the University of Cincinnati for the summers of 2005-2007. The program director is Bruce Ault who is assisted by co-PI Anna Gudmundsdottir. Ten students will solve scientific problems that are from one of the five major areas of chemistry: analytical chemistry, biochemistry, inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry and physical chemistry. These students will work closely with one of the 12 participating faculty members, individuals who have been carefully selected for their research accomplishments and successful experiences in working with undergraduate researchers. The projects will be planned in such a way as to permit tangible accomplishments in a ten-week period, yet be sufficiently open-ended that fresh research challenges will arise. Educational, activities will include hands-on enhancement of research skills, guidance in professional abilities such as resume' writing and interviewing, workshops on career options and planning, and discussions of issues of overarching importance in science. A focus on minority recruiting, combined with the involvement of a faculty member from an HBCU in the program, will expand and strengthen the pool of underrepresented minorities in the workplace. Interaction with on-campus groups, including the Chemical Engineering REU program, Project SEED students and students in the University's WISE (Women in Science and Engineering) Program will further broaden the perspectives of students in this REU program.
