REU Site Research Experiences Undergraduates

项目摘要

The Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at the Molecular Physics Laboratory at SRI International provides six undergraduate students each summer the opportunity to participate in research on topics in atomic, molecular and biological physics. This program offers talented undergraduates the opportunity to perform summer research in a non-university research laboratory. This program produces students who understand the process of performing research, starting with the development of the problem and continuing with evaluation of the approach, performing measurements, and drawing conclusions. This training helps prepare the Nation's future well-trained workforce required to continue to lead an increasingly technological world.In addition to participating in research with an experienced mentor, the REU students will engage in weekly activities such as seminars, ethics training, safety training, and visits to other research laboratories, to ensure not only that their research stays on track but that they have an engaging collegial and scholarly experience. By the end of the program, every student will have presented the results of the work in a thirty-minute seminar. The host laboratories, known for research in physics and interdisciplinary offshoots of physics based research, have a proven record of undergraduate research as evidenced by the number of student coauthors in journal publications.

SRI 国际分子物理实验室的本科生研究体验 (REU) 站点每年夏天为六名本科生提供参与原子、分子和生物物理主题研究的机会。该项目为有才华的本科生提供在非大学研究实验室进行暑期研究的机会。该项目培养的学生了解研究的过程，从问题的发展开始，继续评估方法、进行测量并得出结论。这项培训有助于为国家未来培养训练有素的劳动力，以继续引领日益技术化的世界。除了与经验丰富的导师一起参与研究外，REU 学生还将参加每周的活动，例如研讨会、道德培训、安全培训、以及参观其他研究实验室，不仅确保他们的研究步入正轨，而且确保他们拥有引人入胜的大学和学术经验。课程结束时，每个学生都将在三十分钟的研讨会上展示工作成果。主办实验室以物理学研究和物理学研究的跨学科分支而闻名，拥有良好的本科生研究记录，期刊出版物中学生合著者的数量就证明了这一点。
