REU Site: Stanford SURGE- Sustainability Undergraduate Research in Geoscience and Engineering

这个更新REU网站，题为“斯坦福大学浪涌-可持续发展本科研究地球科学与工程”计划，将匹配10名本科生与教师在斯坦福大学杜尔学院的可持续发展是在他们感兴趣的领域。参加SURGE计划的本科生将获得为期八周的指导夏季研究经验，涉及土木环境工程，地球行星科学，地球系统科学，能源科学工程，地球物理学，海洋和更广泛的可持续发展领域，包括环境正义。参与的学生必须在美国大学/学院注册，包括但不限于社区学院，四年制大学和少数民族服务机构。学生从谁没有先前的研究经验，学生谁来自本科院校与有限的研究机会或从少数民族服务机构和学生历史上被排除在地球科学和工程背景将被鼓励申请。在此奖项期间，浪涌计划将提供研究机会，以帮助创造一个多样化的管道到可持续发展研究生课程和职业生涯的更广泛的领域的目的30名学生。SURGE学者将根据研究兴趣，申请论文，推荐信和面试与教师匹配。除了在斯坦福大学杜尔学院的可持续发展研究小组中获得科学培训外，学生还将参加研究生院的准备和专业发展活动，例如每周两次的统计分析预备课程以及关于申请研究生院，规划职业轨迹和口头陈述的研讨会。参与者还将在夏季开始时参加编码训练营。每周的教师研究研讨会将使学生熟悉地球科学的广泛研究课题，而教育实地考察将为学生提供在该领域学习并建立社区意识的机会。一个研究研讨会结束了该计划，在那里学生提出他们的项目研究结果，通过口头报告和海报在教师，导师和其他斯坦福大学地球的同事谁帮助审查演示文稿面前。浪涌学者将生活在斯坦福大学校园，并有机会获得霍尔斯和其他斯坦福大学设施，与其他学者分享住宿经验，从而提高队列研究经验。计划的成功将通过学生和教师调查来衡量。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This renewal REU site, entitled “Stanford SURGE- Sustainability Undergraduate Research in Geoscience and Engineering” program, will match 10 undergraduate students with faculty in the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability that are in their area of interest. The undergraduate students participating in the SURGE program will receive an eight-week-long mentored summer research experience in the areas of Civil & Environmental Engineering, Earth & Planetary Sciences, Earth System Science, Energy Science & Engineering, Geophysics, Oceans, and the broader field of Sustainability, including Environmental Justice. Participating students must be enrolled in an US university/college, including, but not limited to, community colleges, four-year universities, and minority-serving institutions. Students from who do not have prior research experience, students who come from undergraduate institutions with limited research opportunities or from minority-serving institutions and students from historically excluded backgrounds in the geosciences and engineering will be encouraged to apply. During this award, the SURGE program will provide research opportunities to 30 students with the aim of helping to create a diverse pipeline into the broader field of sustainability post-graduate programs and careers. SURGE Scholars will be matched with faculty members based on research interest, application essays, letters of recommendation, and interviews. In addition to gaining scientific training in a Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability research group, students will also participate in graduate-school preparation and professional-development activities such as a statistical analysis prep course that meets twice per week and workshops on applying to graduate school, planning career trajectories, and giving oral presentations. Participants will also participate in a coding bootcamp at the beginning of the summer. Weekly faculty research seminars will familiarize students with a broad range of research topics in the Earth sciences, while educational field trips will provide opportunities for students to learn in the field and build a sense of community. A research symposium concludes the program, where students present their project findings through oral presentations and posters in front of faculty, mentors, and other Stanford Earth colleagues who help review the presentations. SURGE scholars will live on the Stanford campus and have access to dining halls and other Stanford amenities, sharing the residential experience with fellow scholars and thus enhancing the cohort research experience. Program success will be measured through student and faculty surveys. SURGE scholars will be tracked after the program to determine their career paths and to provide an alumni network.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.
