EIA 0097464 Dershem，HerbertHope CollegeREU Sites：An Undergraduate Research Participation Program in Computer Science 希望学院REU计算机科学计划旨在为有前途的本科生提供密集和有意义的研究经验，鼓励他们考虑从事计算机科学研究。我们的目标是让学生接触计算机科学研究的技术，态度和奖励，并通过与教师导师在一个重要项目上的密切合作，在追求这样的职业生涯中提供鼓励和方向。我们将作出广泛努力，让合格的女生和少数民族学生参加培训。每年将选择一个合作伙伴的本科院校，那里目前没有足够的基础设施，在计算机科学的强大的本科研究计划。来自合作机构的一名教师将被邀请参加这个计划，加入三个或四个希望学院的教师作为研究导师。此外，两名来自合作院校的学生将与三名希望学院的学生和三名来自其他院校的学生一起作为学生参与者。学生参与者将居住在希望学院校园，每周至少花费40小时进行为期10周的研究活动。每个参与者将与教师导师密切合作，并在希望学院计算机科学网络上独家使用一个工作站。通过让参与者在夏季研讨会期间，在下一学年在他们的家乡机构以及在区域或国家会议上展示他们的成果，将强调沟通技能的发展。此外，与会者将编写一份研究报告和一份介绍其工作的在线海报。

EIA 0097464Dershem, HerbertHope CollegeREU Sites: An Undergraduate Research Participation Program in Computer Science The Hope College REU program in Computer Science is designed to provide promising undergraduates with an intensive and meaningful research experience that will encourage them to consider a career in computer science research. Our goal is to expose students to the techniques, attitudes, and rewards of computer science research and to provide encouragement and direction in the pursuit of such a career through close collaboration with a faculty mentor on a significant project. We will make extensive efforts to include qualified female and minority group students among the participants. Each year a partner undergraduate institution will be selected where there is presently insufficient infrastructure for a strong undergraduate research program in computer science. One faculty member from the partner institution will be invited to participate in this program, joining three or four Hope College faculty members as research mentors. In addition, two students from the partner institution will join three Hope College students and three students from other institutions as student participants. The student participants will reside on the Hope College campus, spending a minimum of 40 hours per week on research activities for a 10 week period. Each participant will work in close collaboration with a faculty mentor and be given exclusive use of a workstation on the Hope College Computer Science network. The development of communication skills will be emphasized by having participants present their results during summer seminars, at their home institution during the following academic year, and at a regional or national conference. In addition, the participants will prepare a research report and an online poster describing their work.
