REU Site for Astronomy and Astrophysics at UW-Madison: 2016 and beyond

威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校将开设一个天文学研究体验(REU)网站。学生将在教师和研究科学家的严密监督下，每年夏天在横跨广泛科学领域的研究项目上工作十周。该计划将通过研究和专业发展计划加强对本科生的教育，并将这些机会扩大到无法提供此类体验的机构的学生，从而使社会受益。学生将在几个国家组织的会议上被积极招募，并通过参与国家天文学联盟，这是一个新的合作伙伴关系，专注于招收未被充分代表的少数族裔学生和继续专业发展。研究机会包括实验物理、仪器和天体物理。所有的教师导师都被要求参加在每年夏天开始时提供的培训研讨会。该计划还包括：天体物理学系列讲座，科学演示培训，网页和巨蟒编程，科学伦理，研究生院准备，实地考察，以及参加公共外联活动的机会。

The University of Wisconsin Madison will host an REU (Research Experiences for Undergraduates) site in astronomy. Students will work under close supervision of faculty and research scientists for ten weeks each summer on research projects that span a broad range of scientific areas. This program will benefit society by enhancing the education of undergraduates through research and professional development programs and by extending these opportunities to students from institutions otherwise unable to offer such experiences. Students will be actively recruited at meetings of several national organizations and through participation in the National Astronomy Consortium, a new partnership that focuses on the recruitment and continued professional development of underrepresented minority students.Research opportunities include experimental physics, instrumentation, and astrophysics. All faculty mentors are required to participate in a training seminar offered at the start of each summer. The program also includes: a lecture series in astrophysics, training in scientific presentations, web-page and Python programming, scientific ethics, graduate school preparation, field trips, and opportunities to participate in public outreach events.
