HBCU-RISE for the Development and Study of Advanced Sensors and Sensor Materials

美国国家科学基金会于2002年8月向AAMU授予了一项为期三年的HBCU博士能力建设/RISE资助。正在进行的RISE对物理学博士生的毕业产生了重大影响。AAMU管理层通过对项目努力提供支持，全力支持这一计划的主题。目前的奖项进一步扩展了传感器的研究和教育，主要侧重于辐射，生物，温度和化学传感器，基于现有NSF资助期间取得的一些成就。RISE项目支持AAMU的研究和教育能力的发展。该奖项旨在加强物理系研究生的研究培训和研究准备，并增加博士生和研究生的入学人数，特别是少数族裔。这个项目的智力价值在于它对传感器开发知识的贡献。RISE支持的研究和教育重点是辐射传感器，生物传感器，温度和化学传感器。该项目更广泛的影响在于为传感器研究领域的学生和教师提供了更多的研究和教育机会。项目活动包括每年为HBCU和其他大学的本科生和教师举办为期一周的传感器研讨会/短期课程。这些研究领域将提供博士和硕士学位论文和研究生论文的主题。

NSF granted a HBCU Doctoral Capacity Building/RISE grant to AAMU for three years starting in August 2002. The ongoing RISE has a significant impact in graduating doctoral students in physics. AAMU administration fully supports the theme of this program by contributing support toward project efforts. The present award further extends research and education in sensors with major emphasis on radiation, biological, temperature and chemical sensors, based on a number of achievements made during the existing NSF grant. The RISE project supports the development of research and educational capabilities of AAMU. This award supports enhancements in research training and research preparedness of graduate students in the physics department and on increasing the enrollment of doctoral students and graduates, particularly of underrepresented minorities.The intellectual merit of this project lies in its contribution to the knowledge about sensor development. RISE supported research and education focuses on Radiation Sensors, Biological Sensors, Temperature and Chemical Sensors. The broader impacts of this project lie in the expanded research and educational opportunities made available to students and faculty in the area of sensor research. Project activities include a yearly one-week workshop/short course on sensors for undergraduate students and faculty from HBCU's and other universities. These research areas will provide topics for Ph.D. and MS degree dissertations and thesis for graduate students.
