ABSTRACT for EAR0353585The Keck Geology Consortium focuses on enriching undergraduate education through development of high-quality research experiences. The Consortium has been a fundamental component of the undergraduate-research landscape over the last seventeen years, supporting 909 undergraduate students from eighty-three schools across the nation. In addition to research projects, the Consortium program includes the annual Keck Research Symposium in Geology. The symposium is a gathering place for some of the most talented and motivated undergraduate students in the nation. For the students, the symposium is a place to present research results in an environment that emphasizes the importance of communication and builds self-confidence. For the faculty, the symposium is an opportunity to interact and share information with each other, stimulating development of new collaborations and innovative programs. This award will is to continue the Keck Geology Consortium in order to capitalize and build on the seventeen-year experience of the Keck Geology Consortium in collaboration, design, and administration of undergraduate research projects. The REU site will serve as the platform for a systematic assessment study to produce a web-based assessment library that can be adapted by the geoscience community to inform the development and practice of teaching undergraduate research.

EAR0353585的摘要Keck地质财团致力于通过发展高质量的研究经验来丰富本科教育。 在过去的十七年中，该财团一直是本科研究景观的基本组成部分，支持来自全国八十三所学校的909名本科生。 除研究项目外，财团计划还包括年度凯克研究研讨会。 该研讨会是全国一些最有才华和有动力的本科生的聚会场所。 对于学生来说，研讨会是在强调沟通重要性并建立自信心的环境中进行研究结果的地方。对于教师而言，研讨会是一个相互互动和共享信息的机会，刺激了新的合作和创新计划的发展。 该奖项将继续凯克地质联盟，以便基于凯克地质联盟在本科研究项目的合作，设计和管理方面的十七年经验。 REU网站将作为系统评估研究的平台，以制作基于网络的评估库，该库可以由地球科学界改编，以告知教学本科研究的发展和实践。
