Research Experiences for Undergraduates/
Research Experiences for Teachers
The Department of Physics at the University of Florida offers a 10-week summer research program supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF). Undergraduate participants receive a stipend, a travel allowance, and prepaid housing on campus.
The 1999 Summer program ran from June 1 to August 6, inclusive.
The program was centered around a
research project,
carried out within an active research group on campus.
Other
activities
included seminars on cutting-edge areas of physics;
workshops focusing on graduate programs, career opportunities in the physical
sciences, and scientific communications skills;
and field trips to industrial laboratories.
Associated with the REU program was an eight-week Research Experiences
for Teachers (RET) program, also sponsored by the NSF.
Five middle- and high-school teachers carried out research projects
in the Physics Department, developing teaching products to carry back into
the classroom, and interacting with the REU participants.
