CISE MII: Research Experience for Minority Students in High-Performance Computing and Communications

EIA-0117255Robert E. Hiromoto德克萨斯大学-圣安东尼奥分校高性能计算和通信研究经验在这个项目中，我们的目标是（1）加强我们吸引和留住本科生和研究生少数民族学生的能力，（2）增加有才华的本科少数民族学生追求研究生教育和高科技产业职业的数量，（3）提高教师和学生的研究生产力，及（4）透过工业实习，为这些学生提供宝贵的工业经验。我们建议与本地工业界建立一个双导师伙伴计划，加强学生在研究和高科技方面的联系。 入选该计划的学生将作为NSF学生学者参加，并将以奖学金和研究助理的形式提供财政支持。学生将与教师导师和区域行业研究合作伙伴合作。计算机科学系和工程学院的教师将为本科生提供指导，努力培养学生解决问题的能力，并与教师和行业建立学生研究合作。仅在CS的研究优势包括：1）并行和分布式计算; 2）互联网和并行计算的编译器技术; 3）计算机网络协议; 4）网络安全; 5）高速交换架构; 6）数据挖掘;和7）生物计算。

EIA-0117255Robert E. HiromotoUniversity of Texas - San AntonioResearch Experiences in High-Performance Computing and CommunicationsIn this project, our goals are to (1) strengthen our ability to attract and retain undergraduate and graduate minority students, (2) increase the numbers of talented undergraduate minority students pursuing graduate education and high-tech industrial careers, (3) enhance the research productivity of the faculty and students, and (4) provide valuable industry experience to these students through industrial internships.We propose to create a dual-mentor partnership program with local industry to enhance the linkage of research and high-tech opportunities for our students. Students selected for this program will participate as NSF student scholars and will be provided financial support in the form of scholarships and research assistantships. Students will be expected to collaborate with a faculty mentor and regional industry research partners.Faculty from the Computer Science Department and the College of Engineering, will provide undergraduate student mentoring, work to develop student skills in problem solving activities, and create student research collaborations with faculty and industry. The research strengths in CS alone include: 1) parallel and distributed computing; 2) compiler technology for internet and parallel computing; 3) computer network protocols; 4) network security; 5) high-speed switching architectures; 6) data mining; and 7) biocomputing.
