Research Experience for Undergraduates in Electrical Engineering at the University of Houston

该奖项为休斯顿大学（UH）在Frank J. Claydon博士的指导下，为2001年夏季电气和计算机工程REU站点提供资金。拟议的计划将建立在2000年夏季进行的UH“内部”自费REU计划的基础上。该计划旨在为本科生注入对研究生水平教育和研究事业的热情。这些学生中至少有50%将从休斯敦大学以外的机构选择。拥有大量西班牙裔或非洲裔学生的学校将成为招生的特别目标。每个学生将承担一个特定的研究项目，和教师顾问（参与REU计划）将与学生合作，以发展他/她的研究技能。该计划的一个基本要素将是强调学生的专业发展（例如，论文写作和技术演示）。

This award provides funding to the University of Houston (UH) for a Summer 2001 REU Site in Electrical and Computer Engineering under the direction of Dr. Frank J. Claydon. The proposed program will build on the UH "in-house" self-funded REU program conducted during Summer 2000. The program is designed to infuse 12 undergraudate students with enthusiasm towards graduate level education and careers in research. At least 50% of these students will selected from institutions other than UH. Institutions with significant Hispanic or African-American student populations will be particularly targeted for student recruitment. Each student will undertake a specific research project, and a faculty advisor (participating in the REU program) will work with the student to develop his/her research skills. An essential element of the program will be its emphasis on professional development of the students (e.g., paper writing and technical presentations).
