REU Site: Program in Nanomaterials and Nanotechnology

该奖项继续支持达特茅斯学院自1999年以来一直运行的本科生研究经验（REU）网站。 随着校园内材料研究的发展和扩大，这个REU网站的趋势和研究主题也在不断发展和扩大。 最初专注于分子材料，目前的计划借鉴了达特茅斯纳米材料研究中心的设施，并提供跨学科的研究项目，涉及化学，物理，工程和达特茅斯医学院的教师研究小组。 每年将在全国范围内招募10名本科生参加为期9周的暑期课程，使他们参与材料合成，计算和表征方面的合作研究项目。 鼓励学生在专业会议上展示他们的研究成果，并在期刊上发表。此外，REU学生将参加每周研讨会，哲学系教师讲授的伦理学短期课程，并接受技术沟通技能培训。 该计划还包括实地考察当地工业和政府实验室，以及娱乐活动，将加强参与者之间的互动。 这个REU网站由国防部与NSF REU计划合作支持。

This award continues the support for a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) site at Dartmouth College which has been running since 1999. As materials research within the campus has evolved and broadened, so have the trends and research theme of this REU Site. Initially focused on Molecular Materials, the current program draws on the facilities of the Center for Nanomaterials Research at Dartmouth and offers interdisciplinary research projects involving faculty research groups in the departments of Chemistry, Physics, Engineering, and Dartmouth Medical School. Ten undergraduate students will be recruited nationally each year for a nine-week summer program that will engage them in collaborative research projects in materials synthesis, computation and characterization. Students will be encouraged to present their research results at professional meetings and publish them in journals. In addition, the REU students will participate in weekly seminars, short course in Ethics taught by faculty from Philosophy Department, and receive training on technical communication skills. The program also includes field trips to local industry and government laboratories as well as recreational activities that would enhance interaction among the participants. This REU Site is supported by the Department of Defense in partnership with the NSF REU program.
