9820358EstebanA NSF-REU site will be initiated in the Department of Physics and Electronics at the University of Puerto Rico-Humacao (UPRH). Thirty undergraduate physics students (in a three-year period, 1999-2001) coming from the continental United States and Puerto Rico will participate in a variety of on-going theoretical and experimental research projects. Six experienced physics faculty members from the Physics and Electronics department at UPRH are involved in this initiative. Each will supervise, mentor and work one-on-one with participating students. For three consecutive years the NSF-REU site will operate during an eight-week period in the summer and will continue for students with residence in Puerto Rico into the academic year. This program offers to Hispanic-American physics students the opportunity to engage in research projects under the guidance of a Hispanic-American faculty professor. Weekly seminars and "hands-on" mini-workshops are planned to address basic computational and research techniques, such as numerical and symbolic programming, data acquisition, instrumental control, and web technology. Participation in this program by women and minority students will be particularly encouraged.The Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site Program provides research experience for undergraduate students. The aim of the National Science Foundation is to promote and advance scientific and engineering progress in the United States. This requires continued efforts to attract a diversified pool of talented students into research careers in these fields and to help ensure that they receive the best education possible. ***

9820358Esteban NSF-REU 站点将在波多黎各乌马考大学 (UPRH) 物理与电子系启动。 来自美国大陆和波多黎各的 30 名物理系本科生（1999 年至 2001 年三年期间）将参加各种正在进行的理论和实验研究项目。 来自 UPRH 物理与电子系的六名经验丰富的物理教师参与了这一计划。 每个人都将监督、指导并与参与的学生进行一对一的工作。 NSF-REU 站点将连续三年在夏季运行八周，并将继续为居住在波多黎各的学生提供服务直至学年。 该项目为西班牙裔美国物理学学生提供在西班牙裔美国教授指导下参与研究项目的机会。 计划每周举办研讨会和“实践”小型研讨会，以解决基本的计算和研究技术，例如数值和符号编程、数据采集、仪器控制和网络技术。 将特别鼓励女性和少数民族学生参与该计划。本科生研究经验 (REU) 现场计划为本科生提供研究经验。 国家科学基金会的目标是促进和推进美国的科学和工程进步。 这需要继续努力吸引多元化的优秀学生进入这些领域的研究生涯，并帮助确保他们接受尽可能最好的教育。 ***
