The University of Puerto Rico at Mayagüez provided opportunities to obtain meaningful experiences to undergraduates, especially minority students, in the area of synthesis of functional nanomaterials and the behavior of nanostructured materials.
Participants received formal and informal education through weekly seminars by research faculty and invited guests. The topics included: Introduction to current research in functional and nanostructured materials; Laboratory safety; Research planning; Data collection and record keeping; Research ethics; Communicating research; Applying to graduate school. Students had the opportunity of visiting local educational and cultural attractions during the weekends, including the National Astronomy and Ionosphere Center's Arecibo Observatory, "El Yunque" National Rain Forest Park, and La Parguera Bioluminiscent Bay. |
