Columbia University REU Site in Chemistry

这一化学系奖项支持哥伦比亚大学2005-2007年夏季的本科生研究体验(REU)网站。节目总监是伦纳德·费恩。从其他院校招募的十名学生将参加一个为期十周的项目。学生的兴趣和经历与系里的研究小组相匹配。在第一天之前，有信息和文献的交流。被选中的本科生充分参与实验室、小组会议和讨论小组、研讨会和座谈会的研究过程；他们作口头陈述、编写进度报告和撰写论文；他们定期与其他研究小组的同学互动。此外，还将对一个综合工业研究实验室进行实地考察，并与国家实验室的科学家举行联合座谈会。有职业发展讨论，以协助研究生学校的选择和申请过程，以及关于专业简历撰写的研讨会。关于科学中的妇女和研究的道德行为的讲习班介绍了这些重要的专业问题。专业制定的评估和评估计划将有助于确定计划的价值、实现目标的情况以及机构和个人影响。征集计划的重点是最大限度地吸引和接触女性、历史上代表性不足的少数族裔以及寻求研究型大学经验的四年制学院的本科生。鼓励发表和介绍结果。

This Chemistry Division award supports a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at Columbia University for the summers of 2005-2007. The program director is Leonard Fine. Ten students, recruited from other institutions, will participate in a ten-week program. The interests and experience of the student are matched with the research groups in the department. Before the first day, there are exchanges of information and literature. The selected undergraduates fully participate in the research process in the laboratory, at group meetings and in discussion groups, in seminars and at colloquia; they give oral presentations, produce progress reports and contribute to the writing of papers; and they interact on a regular basis with fellow students in other research groups. In addition, there is a field trip to a comprehensive industrial research laboratory and a joint colloquium with scientists from a National Laboratory. There are career development discussions to assist in the graduate school selection and application processes, and a workshop on professional resume writing. Workshops on women in science and the ethical conduct of research introduce these important professional issues. A professionally developed evaluation and assessment plan will aid in determining the value of the program, how well it is meeting its objectives, and the institutional and individual impacts. The solicitation plan focuses on maximizing appeal and access to women, historically under-represented minorities, and undergraduates from four-year colleges seeking the research university experience. Publication and presentation of results are encouraged.
