9619749 Cassara ABSTRACT Polytechnic University seeks continuing funding for an ongoing research program that for eleven years has been training electrical engineering and computer science students during the summer before their senior years in the area of information systems and electrophysics. Students will be recruited from a variety of other schools, including primarily undergraduate institutions which are not research intensive. Approximately 50%-75% will be students enrolled at schools other than polytechnic to provide an opportunity for a rich interchange of ideas. Every effort will be made to attract at least 40% of participants from the minority and women student body. The addition of a female faculty member as Co-PI, Professor Yao Wang, will help with recruitment of additional women interns and early announcement of internship awards will help attract top minority students who are heavily courted by many other academic and industrial summer programs. The research environment will be enriched by additional undergraduate students funded from other sources. Each participant will have regular meeting with an individual faculty mentor to plan work and review progress throughout the eleven week program. Project topics in Information Systems will include image communication, VLSI, multivariable feedback control, wireless information networks, robotics, cache memories, and control systems. Project topics in electrophysics will include microwave-plasma interaction, computational electrophysics, power systems and magnetic levitation. All will benefit from extensive interactions with participating faculty and graduate students. Participants will have informative tours of our research laboratories at both the Brooklyn and Farmingdale campuses. There will be two or three seminar presentations to the group by leaders from industry, universities or government agencies. A tour will be arranged at a nearby industrial lab or National Laboratory. The program will terminate with a two- day research review during which each student will make a 20 minute formal presentation and answer questions. A formal final written report of professional quality will be required of all participants. A monetary prize will be awarded to the best project. ***

9619749卡萨拉抽象理工大学为一个正在进行的研究计划寻求持续的资金，该计划11年来一直在信息系统和电子物理领域的电气工程和计算机科学学生在他们大四之前的夏天进行培训。学生将从不同的其他学校招生，包括主要是非研究密集型本科院校。大约50%-75%的学生将被理工学院以外的学校录取，以提供丰富的思想交流机会。将尽一切努力吸引至少40%的参与者来自少数民族和女学生群体。女性教职员工姚望教授的加入将有助于招聘更多的女性实习生，提前宣布实习奖励将有助于吸引顶尖的少数族裔学生，这些学生受到许多其他学术和工业暑期项目的大力吸引。由其他来源资助的更多本科生将丰富研究环境。每位学员将定期与一名教师导师会面，以计划工作并回顾整个十一周计划的进展。信息系统的专题将包括图像通信、超大规模集成电路、多变量反馈控制、无线信息网络、机器人、高速缓冲存储器和控制系统。电物理学的专题将包括微波-等离子体相互作用、计算电物理、电力系统和磁悬浮。所有人都将受益于与参与其中的教职员工和研究生的广泛互动。参与者将参观我们在布鲁克林和法明戴尔校园的研究实验室，内容丰富。来自行业、大学或政府机构的领导人将向该小组进行两到三次研讨会演示。参观将安排在附近的工业实验室或国家实验室。该计划将以为期两天的研究回顾结束，在此期间，每个学生将做20分钟的正式陈述并回答问题。所有参与者都需要一份关于专业素质的正式最终书面报告。最好的项目将获得货币奖励。***
