REU SITE: Physics and Astrophysics at TCU

德克萨斯基督教大学的本科生研究经验（REU）网站为六名本科生提供了参与原子，分子，生物，化学和统计物理学以及天文学和行星科学研究的机会。该计划的主要目标是为学生参与者提供一个难忘的和潜在的职业定义体验，他们在进入该计划时可能没有明确的职业道路方向。精心挑选的实地考察，每周与其他学生和教师的讨论，以及职业规划研讨会是REU计划的重要组成部分，为学生提供了机会，让他们考虑广泛的职业可能性和职业在物理和工程相关领域延伸到重点夏季研究项目之外。除了与经验丰富的导师一起参与研究，REU的学生将参加每周的活动，以确保不仅他们的研究保持在轨道上，但他们有一个迷人的大学和学术经验。到课程结束时，每个学生都将对他们的工作进行正式介绍，并准备了一张会议海报和一份10页的报告。

This Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at Texas Christian University provides six undergraduate students the opportunity to participate in research on topics in atomic, molecular, bio, chemical, and statistical physics, as well as astronomy and planetary science in the summer of 2017. The main goal of the program is to provide a memorable and potentially career-defining experience for student participants, who may not have a clear direction of career path upon entering the program. Thoughtfully-selected field trips, weekly discussions with other students and faculty, and workshops on career-planning are vital components of the REU program, providing opportunities for students to consider a broad range of career possibilities and professions in physics and engineering-related fields extending beyond the focused summer research project.In addition to participating in research with an experienced mentor, the REU students will engage in weekly activities to ensure not only that their research stays on track but that they have an engaging collegial and scholarly experience. By the end of the program, every student will have given a formal presentation about their work and prepared a conference poster and a 10-page report.
