Proposal to Establish an REU Site in Computer and Information Science and Engineering at Caltech

本科生的研究经验将通过加州理工学院暑期本科生研究奖学金（SURF）项目提供。SURF项目始于1979年，从1979年到1987年，有621名学生参加了研究项目。在为期10周的夏季期间，学生们将参加技术研讨会、圆桌讨论和交流讲习班。10名学生将从研究机会相对有限的机构中选出，包括历史上的黑人机构（HBUs）。已经与亚特兰大大学中心、霍华德大学、杰克逊州立大学和莫尔豪斯大学建立了联系。本科生的研究经历将包括为次立方体开发新的算法或科学代码和系统软件，以及参与内部硬件开发项目。强烈建议在REU计划下为这个有价值的项目提供39,500美元的奖励。

Research experiences for undergraduates will be offered through the Caltech Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) program. The SURF program was started in 1979 and from 1979-1987 621 students participated in research projects. During the 10-week period in the summer the students will participate in technical seminars, roundtable discussions and communications workshops. Ten students will be selected from institutions where research opportunities may be relatively limited including Historically Black Institutions (HBUs). Contacts with the Atlanta University Center, Howard University, Jackson State Univeristy, and Morehouse University have already been established. Undergraduate research experiences will include developing new algorithms or scientific codes and systems software for the hypocube, and working within-house hardware development projects. An award of $39,500 is highly recommended for this meritorious project under the REU programs.
