项目摘要

This award, supported by the Division of Chemistry (CHE) at the National Science Foundation supports a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Site at North Carolina State University (NCSU), led by Professors Elon A. Ison and Elena Jakubikova. Professors Ison and Jakubikova will execute a series of recruiting strategies to recruit students from underrepresented groups, women, and first generation college students primarily from the Southeast and Middle Atlantic region, and from the University of Puerto Rico system. These students will be exposed to career opportunities in non-academic settings in the Research Triangle Park (RTP) area, participate in social and professional activities provided on campus to encourage student interactions with other undergraduate and REU programs at NCSU. They will provide training for local middle and high school teachers from the Lee County system in the basics of computational chemistry so that they can develop curricula and implement computational methods early in the academic training of students. Thus the combined impact of this proposed REU site is the increased training and development of students in STEM fields from middle school through college.The focus of the NSF funded REU site at NCSU is to expose sophomore and junior students from primarily undergraduate institutions (PUIs) and from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) to one of many possible independent research topics that combine experimental techniques and computational methods in an academic setting. During their 10-week training, the students will learn practical laboratory skills, and acquire the basics of computational methodologies through a series of practical lectures in the recently upgraded computational facilities. Major goals are to enable students to make informed career and graduate or professional school choices and to allow the students to be better prepared to achieve a high level of success in their chosen career pathways. As such, on-site visits to leading chemical companies and government laboratories in the Research Triangle Park (RTP) will be organized.

该奖项由美国国家科学基金会化学部 (CHE) 资助，支持北卡罗来纳州立大学 (NCSU) 的本科生研究体验 (REU) 项目，该项目由 Elon A. Ison 和 Elena Jakubikova 教授领导。伊森和雅库比科娃教授将执行一系列招生策略，招收代表性不足的群体、女性和主要来自东南和中大西洋地区以及波多黎各大学系统的第一代大学生。这些学生将在三角研究园 (RTP) 地区的非学术环境中获得就业机会，参加校园内提供的社交和专业活动，以鼓励学生与 NCSU 的其他本科生和 REU 项目进行互动。他们将为李县系统的当地初中和高中教师提供计算化学基础知识的培训，以便他们能够在学生学术培训的早期开发课程并实施计算方法。因此，这个拟议的 REU 网站的综合影响是增加从中学到大学的学生在 STEM 领域的培训和发展。 NSF 资助的 NCSU REU 网站的重点是让主要来自本科院校 (PUI) 的二年级和三年级学生接触从历史上的黑人学院和大学 (HBCU) 到在学术环境中结合实验技术和计算方法的许多可能的独立研究主题之一。在为期 10 周的培训中，学生将学习实用的实验室技能，并通过最近升级的计算设施中的一系列实践讲座获得计算方法的基础知识。主要目标是让学生能够做出明智的职业和研究生或专业学校选择，并让学生做好更好的准备，在他们选择的职业道路上取得高水平的成功。因此，将组织对三角研究园（RTP）的领先化学公司和政府实验室进行现场参观。
