Undergraduate Interdisciplinary Research Emphasizing the Application of Environmental Chemistry to Address Societal Issues

该化学系奖项支持北达科他州大学(UND)2006-2008年夏季的本科生研究体验(REU)站点。Evguenii Kozliak是该网站的项目主任，来自化学工程部的Michael Mann是联席主任。气体和气-固相互作用影响环境中心(CIGSIIE)、化学、化学工程和大气科学中心的科学家和工程师将作为REU导师，指导9名学生，每个学生将参加为期10周的计划。学生将从上中西部的大学招生，特别关注美洲原住民和居住在上中西部和西部各州农村社区的第一代学生。学生将通过从应用环境化学解决实际社会问题的研究项目池中进行选择，获得绿色化学研究应用方面的经验。大多数项目将有多名导师，从而向参与者介绍协作和多学科研究。介绍了气相化学及相关环境化学领域的15个研究项目。学生们将在全州会议上以海报演示结束该项目。该奖项由激励竞争性研究实验计划(EPSCoR)共同资助。

This Chemistry Division award supports a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at the University of North Dakota (UND) for the summers of 2006-2008. Evguenii Kozliak is the site's program director and Michael Mann from the Department of Chemical Engineering is the Co-Director. Scientists and engineers of the Center for Gas and Gas-Solid Interactions Impacting the Environment (CIGSIIE), Chemistry, Chemical Engineering and Atmospheric Science will serve as REU mentors to nine students, who will each participate in a ten-week program. Students will be recruited from colleges in the Upper Midwest, with particular attention to Native Americans and first generation students resident in the rural communities of the upper Midwest and Western states. Students will gain experience in research applications of green chemistry by selecting from a pool of research projects in which applied environmental chemistry is used to address real societal issues. A majority of the projects will have multiple mentors, thereby introducing participants to collaborative and multidisciplinary research. Fifteen research projects are described in the area of gas-phase chemistry and related environmental chemistry. Students will conclude the program with a poster presentation at a statewide meeting. This award is co-funded by the Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR).
