Renewal of REU/RET Physics Site at the University

该奖项旨在支持俄克拉何马大学诺曼校区本科生研究经验（REU）项目的更新。美国国家科学基金会将资助10名本科生进行为期9周的夏季研究，研究领域包括理论和实验天体物理学、原子和分子物理学、凝聚态物理和高能物理。主要目标是通过由学生感兴趣的领域的教师每天指导的实质性的、有意义的研究，弥合学生与科学家之间的差距。每半周也有一系列研讨会，涵盖量子力学的语言、职业选择和职业发展。最后的研讨会将由REU学生自己进行，并且将有一系列的志愿课程，实地考察和研讨会，让学生接触到真正的研究工具。

This award is to support the renewal of the Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site program at the University of Oklahoma Norman Campus. Ten undergraduate students will be supported by NSF to do nine weeks of summer research in the areas of theoretical and experimental astrophysics, atomic and molecular physics, condensed matter physics, and high energy physics. The primary goal is to bridge the gap from student to scientist, through substantive, consequential research mentored daily by a faculty member in an area in which the student is interested. There is also a semi-weekly seminar series covering the language of quantum mechanics, career options, and career development. The final seminars will be given by the REU students themselves, and there will be a series of voluntary courses, field trips, and seminars that expose the students to real research tools.
