REU Sites: An Undergraduate Research Participation Program in Computer Science

EIA 0097464 Deshem，HerbertHope CollegeREU Sites：计算机科学本科生研究参与计划希望学院计算机科学REU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到计算机科学研究的技术、态度和回报，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指导。我们将广泛努力，将符合条件的女性和少数群体学生纳入参与者。每年都会选择一所合作的本科院校，在那里目前没有足够的基础设施来支持强大的计算机科学本科研究项目。合作机构的一名教职员工将被邀请参加这一计划，加入三到四名希望学院教职员工的研究导师行列。此外，来自伙伴机构的两名学生将加入三所希望学院的学生和来自其他机构的三名学生作为学生参与者。学生参与者将居住在希望学院校园内，每周至少花40个小时进行研究活动，为期10周。每个参与者都将与一名教师导师密切合作，并获得霍普学院计算机科学网络上的一个工作站的独家使用权。将强调交流技能的发展，让与会者在夏季研讨会期间、下一学年在本国机构以及在区域或国家会议上介绍他们的成果。此外，参与者还将准备一份研究报告和一张描述他们工作的在线海报。

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.
