REU Site: Aquatic Chemical Ecology at Georgia Tech

该奖项为佐治亚理工学院(GIT)的本科生研究体验(REU)项目提供了新的资金。REU计划的重点将是化学调节的水生过程。拟议的为期10周的暑期实习计划将为全国各地的10名本科生提供为期三年的实验室和实地研究专业知识。GIT土木与环境工程、化学与生物分子工程、地球与大气科学、化学与生物化学和生物学的教授将组成一个核心导师团队，并将指导本科生在化学中介过程的多个阶段进行基础和应用研究，强调跨学科研究是解决复杂问题的工具。每个学生将完成一个独立的研究项目，并就他们的研究做书面和口头报告。暑期项目结束后，他们将被鼓励参加一个专业会议。资金用于支付学生津贴、去现场旅行、住房和一些研究费用。

This award provides renewed funding for a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program at the Georgia Institute of Technology (GIT). The focus of the REU program will be chemically-mediated aquatic processes. The proposed 10-week summer internship program will provide laboratory and field-based research expertise to ten undergraduate students from across the nation each summer for three years. GIT faculty in Civil & Environmental Engineering, Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering, Earth & Atmospheric Sciences, Chemistry & Biochemistry, and Biology will form a core group of mentors and will guide undergraduates in basic and applied research on multiple phases of chemically-mediated processes, stressing interdisciplinary research as a tool to solve complex problems. Each student will complete an independent research project and will give written and oral presentations on their research. They will be encouraged to attend a professional conference after the summer program. Funding supports student stipends, travel to the site, housing and some research expenses.
