REU Site in Physics at Howard University

霍华德大学的本科生研究体验(REU)网站每年夏天为六名本科生提供参与物理和材料研究各个领域的研究的机会。除了与经验丰富的导师一起参与研究外，REU的学生还将参加每周的活动，以确保他们的研究不仅保持在正轨上，而且他们有一次引人入胜的大学和学术经历。到节目结束时，每个学生都将准备好一张海报，对研究进行口头陈述，并撰写一份期末报告。作为美国历史上第一所黑人大学，霍华德大学以为女性和代表不足的少数族裔提供在研究职业生涯中脱颖而出的机会而闻名。十名教师导师将在与计算和实验纳米物理、凝聚态物理、材料物理、光学和激光光谱学相关的项目中指导学生。通过指导和接触令人兴奋的研究工具和方法，学生将获得特定方法方面的技能，同时培养对物理学在广泛科学事业中的应用的敏锐意识。该奖项由数学和物理科学局的物理部和材料研究部以及教育和人力资源局的HBCU-UP计划资助。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at Howard University provides six undergraduate students each summer the opportunity to participate in research on topics in various fields of physics and materials research. 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 prepared a poster, made an oral presentation of the research, and written a final report. As the nation's first Historically Black University, Howard University is known for offering opportunities for women and under-represented minorities to excel in research careers. Ten faculty mentors will mentor students in projects related to computational and experimental nanophysics, condensed matter physics, materials physics, optics, and laser spectroscopy. Through mentoring and exposure to exciting research tools and methods, students will acquire skills in specific methodology while developing a keen awareness of the applications of physics to a broad range of science careers. This award is funded by the Division of Physics and the Division of Materials Research in the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Directorate, and the HBCU-UP program in the Education and Human Resources Directorate.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
