REU-SITE at Alabama A&M University

该奖项支持在物理学在亚拉巴马AM大学一个新的REU网站。大约6名学生将在夏季被选中为期10周。该网站的目标之一是增加参与者的多样性，目标是研究机会有限的机构和少数民族学生比例偏低的机构。学生们将与教师导师一起从事一个研究项目。该计划强调每周教程的全面时间表，以建立进行研究所需的技能。每周将有关于当前物理学研究的研讨会。该计划将与研究研讨会，为每个学生提供一个机会，介绍他/她的研究成果，以更广泛的观众达到高潮。学生将被要求根据他们的研究写一篇研究论文，并将被鼓励在全国会议上提出。

This award supports a new REU site in physics at Alabama A&M University. Approximately 6 students will be selected for a period of ten weeks during the summer. One of the goals of the site is to increase the diversity of the participants by targeting institutions both where research opportunity is limited and where there are a significant fraction of students who are underrepresented minorities. The students will work on a research project with a faculty mentor. The program emphasizes a well-rounded schedule of weekly tutorials for building up the skills necessary for performing research. There will be weekly seminars on current research in physics. The program will culminate with a research symposium that provides each student with an opportunity to present his/her research findings to a broader audience. Students will be required to write a research paper based on their research and will be encouraged to present it at national conferences.
