项目摘要

Professors Sponsler, Hudson, and colleagues at Syracuse University host an REU Site. This project is funded by the REU Site Program of the Division of Chemistry. The site supports eleven undergraduate students in chemistry research through ten weeks in each of three summers. The intensive research experience helps students in many ways. Students supplement their education with valuable practical experience and skills. The become better informed with respect to important career and education decisions. Students practice communication of scientific results, and broaden their perspectives of chemistry and science in general. Students are motivated to succeed in their studies and to do more research. Participants experience the entire scientific process: planning and conducting experiments, interpreting results, drawing conclusions, and presenting their results in written and oral form. The program exposes participants to the full breadth of chemical research, including the vast array of chemistry subfields and related interdisciplinary topics. The REU program combines structured learning with maximum hands-on time in the laboratory. At weekly luncheon sessions, faculty members present various chemistry research topics, followed by student research presentations in the last two weeks. Additional activities include a career program, an ethics seminar, a three-hour glassblowing for scientific utilization workshop, and a multi-university poster session. Recruitment and admission of students to the program emphasize those for whom the impact will be greatest, including students with limited access to research, minority students, and veteran students. The program includes a specific partnership with Le Moyne College, involving both students and faculty with year-round collaborative research opportunities. Austrian students in the program, supported by the Technical University of Graz, provide international exposure to all participants. Many participants achieve authorship of published research and present their work at conferences.

Syracuse University的Sponsler，Hudson和同事主持REU网站。该项目由化学部的REU站点计划资助。该网站在三个夏天的每个夏季的每个星期内都支持十一名化学研究的本科生。密集的研究经验在许多方面为学生提供了帮助。学生通过宝贵的实践经验和技能来补充他们的教育。就重要的职业和教育决策而言，这变得更好。学生练习科学结果的交流，并扩大他们对化学和科学的看法。学生有动力成功学习并进行更多的研究。参与者体验整个科学过程：计划和进行实验，解释结果，得出结论以及以书面和口头形式呈现结果。该计划使参与者了解化学研究的全部广度，包括大量的化学子场和相关的跨学科主题。 REU计划将结构化的学习与实验室的最大动手时间相结合。在每周午餐会上，教职员工提出了各种化学研究主题，然后在过去两周中进行了学生研究演讲。其他活动包括职业计划，道德研讨会，三个小时的科学利用研讨会玻璃吹制以及多大学海报会议。招募和招生该计划的学生强调那些影响最大的人，包括获得研究，少数族裔学生和资深学生的学生。该计划包括与Le Moyne College的特定合作伙伴关系，涉及学生和教职员工以及全年的合作研究机会。该计划中的奥地利学生在格拉斯技术大学的支持下为所有参与者提供了国际风险。许多参与者获得了已发表研究的作者身份，并在会议上介绍了他们的工作。
