本科生的研究经验（REUS）对学生对计算机科学（CS）的看法和保留有许多积极的成果。然而，几乎所有的REU都针对后期大学的学生，这很好地进入了CS计划。我们介绍了早期的研究学者计划（ERSP），这是一项四季度计划，旨在让早期大学（第一年或第二年）CS学生参与一所大型研究小学的活跃研究小组中的高质量研究经验。 ERSP的结构化课程支持的小组批准模型及其独特的双重咨询结构使得有可能大大增加参加高质量研究经验的早期职业CS学生，而对个人教师导师的负担很小。 ERSP专注于社区建设和支持，使其特别适合来自CS中传统代表性不足的团体的学生。本文报告了与ERSP的计划，观察和学习的结构，其目的是使其他人能够在其他大型研究的大学中实施该计划。
Research experiences for undergraduates (REUs) have many positive outcomes on students' perception of and retention in Computer Science (CS). Yet nearly all REUs are aimed at late-college students, well into a CS program. We present the Early Research Scholars Program (ERSP), a 4 quarter program designed to engage early-college (first or second year) CS students in high-quality research experiences in active research groups at a large research university. ERSP's structured course-supported group-apprentice model and its unique dual advising structure make it possible to vastly increase number of early-career CS students who participate in high-quality research experiences with little additional burden on individual faculty mentors. ERSP's focus on community building and support makes it particularly appropriate for students from groups who are traditionally underrepresented in CS. This paper reports the structure of the program and observations and learning thus-far with ERSP, with the goal of enabling others to implement this program at other large research-focused universities.
