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

在这个项目中，我们的目标是(1)加强我们吸引和留住少数民族本科生和研究生的能力，(2)增加有才华的少数民族本科生攻读研究生教育和高科技产业职业的人数，(3)提高教师和学生的研究生产力，(4)通过行业实习为学生提供宝贵的行业经验。我们建议与当地工业界建立一个双导师合作计划，以加强我们学生的研究和高科技机会的联系。入选该项目的学生将以NSF学生学者的身份参加，并将以奖学金和研究助教的形式提供经济支持。学生将被要求与教师导师和区域行业研究合作伙伴合作。来自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技能，并与教师和工业界建立学生研究合作。仅计算机科学的研究优势就包括：1)并行和分布式计算；2)面向互联网和并行计算的编译技术；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；还有生物计算。

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.
