1981 and 1982 Faculty and student research participation program evaluation
The Faculty and Student Research Participation Programs provide selected college faculty and undergraduate students (juniors) with the opportunity to participate in research and development at several major installations of the US Department of Energy (DOE). These programs support the Department of Energy's efforts to ensure the availability of trained manpower to develop new energy resources and to improve conservation endeavors. Participants are given hands-on training in energy-related research areas, often using equipment not available on their campuses. The Student Research Participation Program offers students the opportunity to conduct research in a field of their interest under the guidance of a DOE facility senior staff member. The Faculty Research Participation Program offers faculty members the opportunity to collaborate with DOE scientists on issues which relate to the Department's mission and which have importance in the faculty participant's academic research. Each year the faculty and student research participants are asked to respond to three questionnaires, and their DOE research collaborators/mentors are surveyed once. The purpose of this report is threefold: (1) to describe the results of 1981 and 1982 program surveys; (2) to evaluate the effectiveness of the 1981 and 1982 Faculty and Student Research Programs based on the viewpoints expressed by the participants and the DOE facility staff members in the surveys; and (3) to evaluate the programs on the basis of the extent to which the survey results reflect that ORAU program objectives were met.
