Interdisciplinary Science for the Environment: Research Experiences for Undergraduates at New Mexico Tech

NSF的化学(CHE)、生物科学(DBI)、大气化学计划(GEO/ATM)和伊甸园风险基金共同资助了新墨西哥州矿业与技术学院本科生研究经验(REU)网站，该网站将于2005-2007年夏季投入使用。该节目的导演是迈克尔·普林，芭芭拉·奥斯汀为他提供了协助。该网站将把10名本科生带到新墨西哥理工大学进行为期8周的夏季研究体验，重点是环境相关主题的跨学科研究。REU计划将包括五个合作研究项目，每个项目由新墨西哥理工大学教师、研究生和REU本科生组成的跨学科团队进行(每个项目2个)。REU网站将汇集化学、生物、地球科学和物理的教职员工和学生。新墨西哥理工学院的REU项目将专门针对西班牙裔和美洲原住民背景的学生。招聘工作将主要集中在西南地区没有博士水平研究项目的地区机构。

NSF's chemistry (CHE), biological sciences (DBI), atmospheric chemistry program (GEO/ATM) and EdEn venture fund jointly co-fund the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site for the summers of 2005-2007. The program director is Michael Pullin who is assisted by Barbara Austin. The site will bring 10 undergraduate students to New Mexico Tech for an eight-week summer research experience that focuses on cross-disciplinary studies of environmentally related topics. The REU program will include five collaborative research projects, with each conducted by an interdisciplinary team of New Mexico Tech faculty, graduate students, and REU undergraduates (2 per project). The REU site will bring together faculty and students from chemistry, biology, earth sciences, and physics. New Mexico Tech's REU program will specifically target students from Hispanic and Native American ethnic backgrounds. Recruiting efforts will mainly focus on regional institutions in the southwest that do not have Ph.D.-level research programs.
