doing
state-of-the-art materials research!
Summer
Program in Materials Chemistry Research:
Synthesis,
Characterization, and Device Fabrication at
Colorado State University
June
1 - August 7, 2009
For the 16th
consecutive year, the Department of Chemistry at Colorado State University will
host its NSF-REU
sponsored summer undergraduate research program. Deadline for application: March 15, 2009.
Nanotechnology has emerged
at the forefront of 21st century science and manufacturing and
exists at the intersection of chemistry, physics, engineering, and biology.
This program will provide undergraduate students and K12 teachers an introduction to a variety of
aspects of Materials Science and Nanotechnology research.
The program aims to:
§
provide
graduate level, cross-disciplinary materials chemistry research experiences for
students whose home institutions do not offer such opportunities and for
in-service teachers;
§
offer
research opportunities to students from groups traditionally underrepresented
in chemistry;
§
expose
students to career options and opportunities in chemistry and science in
general;
§
stimulate
intellectual discussion between mentors and students about ethical issues in
science.
