REU Site: Summer Bridge Program in Experimental Physics

该奖项支持本科生有机会参与亚利桑那大学夏季REU计划中正在进行的实验物理研究项目。学生可以从各种各样的前沿物理活动中选择，在亚利桑那大学物理系高级教师的指导下，或者从位于其他几个大学学术单位的研究小组中选择，包括天文学，化学，光学科学，月球和行星研究以及大气科学。参与者的主要来源是谁已经完成了在皮马社区学院的科学或工程的第一或第二年课程的等效的学生，准备转移到一个4年制学位课程（虽然所有本科生都有资格申请）。来自物理系的研究生助教担任参与者的导师。特殊的方向和技能活动是单独定制的，使学生能够为研究项目做出重大贡献。

This award supports opportunities for undergraduate students to participate in ongoing research projects in experimental physics as structured in a summer REU program at the University of Arizona. Students may choose from a wide variety of forefront physics activities, under the direction of senior faculty members from the Department of Physics at the University of Arizona, or also from in research groups located in several other university academic units including Astronomy, Chemistry, Optical Sciences, Lunar and Planetary Studies, and Atmospheric Sciences. The primary source of participants is students who have completed the equivalent of the first or second year curriculum in science or engineering at Pima Community College, in preparation for transfer to a 4-year degree program (although all undergraduate students are eligible to apply). Graduate Teaching Assistants from the physics department serve as mentors for the participants. Special orientation and skills activities are individually tailored to enable the students to make significant contributions to the research projects.
