REU Site: Summer Research Program in Materials Science and Nanotechnology

这个本科生研究体验(REU)网站将支持主要从九所合作的历史黑人学院和大学(HBCU)招收的学生。研究将集中在材料科学和纳米材料上。该项目包括教师研究经验部分(每年两名中学理科教师)和道德部分。这个REU网站由材料研究部和数学和物理科学局的多学科活动办公室共同资助。通过在HBCU招生，该项目将吸引来自代表性不足群体的学生，他们就读于一所主要是本科生的机构，研究机会有限。浓缩活动，如……将补充研究活动，并就与研究有关的主题提供重要培训。参与的教师将与本科生一起在研究实验室工作，并将参与丰富项目。教师将参加研究生课程，培训他们将研究概念融入到教学中。在暑期参与后，教师将在课堂上介绍至少一个新的纳米科学或材料科学教学模块。所有参与者将提交一份关于他们的研究的夏末海报。

This Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) site will support students recruited primarily from nine cooperating Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). Research will focus on materials science and nanomaterials. The project includes a Research Experiences for Teachers component (two secondary science teachers per year) and an ethics component. This REU Site is co-funded by the Division of Materials Research and the Office of Multidisciplinary Activities in the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Directorate. By recruiting at HBCUs, the project will involve students from underrepresented groups, who are attending a primarily undergraduate institution with limited research opportunities. Enrichment activities such as ... will complement the research activities and provide important training on research related topics. Participating teachers will work in research labs alongside undergraduate students and will participate in enrichment programs. Teachers will attend a graduate course training them to incorporate research concepts into their teaching. Following summer participation, teachers will introduce into their classrooms at least one new nanoscale science or materials science teaching module. All participants will present an end of summer poster on their research.
