IRES: Carroll University CREATE Program

这个国际研究经验的学生（IRES）项目提供了一个为期12周的研究经验在苏格兰斯特拉斯克莱德大学的15名卡罗尔大学的学生。该项目的目标是双重的。 第一，培养学生？跨学科的科学研究技能，通过嵌入他们在一个小的本科院校不具备的项目和设施。 为了实现这一目标，每个学生将参加一个研究小组和项目在纯粹和应用化学在斯特拉斯克莱德的部门的研究夏天。 第二个目标是通过强调经验的文化方面，让学生在相互依存和多元文化的科学环境（和未来的职业生涯）中茁壮成长。 该计划提高了跨文化意识和能力-来自旅行前的文化能力课程，海外文化研讨会，以及在另一种文化中生活和工作一个夏天的经验。为了支持更广泛地参与这一项目，特别努力从传统上在科学领域代表性不足的群体中招募学生。 学生们将进行的研究是尖端的，与今天高度相关？的世界。而在斯特拉斯克莱德，我们的学生将开展有关替代能源技术，纳米科学和材料化学的个人项目。 特别是，他们将致力于自组装有机光伏材料，氧化还原液流电池系统和用于医疗诊断和治疗的纳米颗粒组件。 学生将受益于一些最先进的仪器工作，同时与谁是在各自领域的杰出研究人员合作。所有学生将在地方和国家会议上展示他们的工作，我们希望许多学生也将为同行评审的出版物做出贡献，从而帮助将他们的成果传播给更广泛的科学界。

This International Research Experiences for Students (IRES) project provides a 12-week research experience at the University of Strathclyde in Scotland for fifteen Carroll University students. The goals of the project are twofold. First, to develop students? cross-disciplinary scientific research skills by embedding them in projects and facilities that are not available at a small undergraduate institution. To achieve this goal, each student will join a research group and project in the Department of Pure and Applied Chemistry at Strathcylde for a summer of research. The second goal is to prepare students to thrive in an interdependent and multicultural scientific environment (and future career) by emphasizing the cultural aspects of the experience. This program produces increased cross-cultural awareness and competence - derived from a pre-trip cultural competence course, cultural seminars overseas, and the experience of living and working in another culture for a summer. In order to support broader participation in this project, special effort is given to recruiting into the program students from groups that are traditionally underrepresented in the sciences. The research that the students will undertake is cutting-edge and highly relevant to today?s world. While at Strathclyde, our students will carry out individual projects related to alternative energy technology, nanoscience and materials chemistry. In particular, they will work on self-assembled organic photovoltaic materials, redox flow battery systems, and nanoparticle assemblies for healthcare diagnostics and therapy. The students will benefit from working on some of the most advanced instrumentation available, while collaborating with researchers who are pre-eminent in their fields. All students will present their work at local and national meetings, and we expect that many of the students will also contribute to peer-reviewed publications, thus helping to disseminate their results to the broader scientific community.
