REU Site Research Experiences Undergraduates

项目摘要

Fifty undergraduate students (10 per year for five years) will be recruited to participate in a 10-week summer residential research experience in Atmospheric Science at Colorado State University. Their research will include understanding and prediction of weather, climate, and air pollution. Established partnerships with a network of minority-serving undergraduate institutions will be used to ensure that participating students are recruited from a broad range of demographics representing the US population, including groups that have previously been underrepresented in meteorology and atmospheric science. REU participants will go through the full research process of choosing a topic, developing a research idea, conducting a literature review, writing a final report, and giving a presentation in a conference setting. The culmination of the summer research experience is a symposium where REU participants will present a scientific poster and give an oral presentation on their summer research projects. By the conclusion of the summer research program participants will be well prepared to conduct scientific research, have a deeper understanding of the graduate school experience. Through the REU Site, students will establish a network of individuals and mentors, who will not only be future resources, but mentors who will play an important role in the development of participants as scientists.

将招募 50 名本科生（五年内每年 10 名）参加科罗拉多州立大学为期 10 周的大气科学暑期住宿研究体验。他们的研究将包括对天气、气候和空气污染的理解和预测。与少数族裔服务的本科院校网络建立的合作伙伴关系将用于确保参与的学生是从代表美国人口的广泛人口统计数据中招募的，包括以前在气象学和大气科学领域代表性不足的群体。 REU 参与者将经历选择主题、提出研究想法、进行文献综述、撰写最终报告以及在会议环境中进行演示的完整研究过程。夏季研究经历的高潮是一次研讨会，REU 参与者将在会上展示科学海报并就他们的夏季研究项目进行口头介绍。暑期研究项目结束时，参与者将为开展科学研究做好充分准备，对研究生院的经历有更深入的了解。通过 REU 网站，学生将建立一个个人和导师网络，他们不仅是未来的资源，而且将在参与者作为科学家的发展中发挥重要作用。
