Institution: University of California - Santa CruzProposal Number: EIA - 0244016PI: Richard HugheyTitle: REU Site in Information Technology at the Baskin School of EngineeringThe Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship in Information Technology (SURF-IT) program provides an intensive and personalized summer program for 12 underrepresented (women and minority) and disadvantaged undergraduates. The students are drawn primarily from institutions that do not have strong, personalized research opportunities. SURF-IT is a 10-week summer program that includes research directly supervised by a faculty member in computer engineering, computer science, or electrical engineering. Students also have weekly meetings on graduate school preparation, research ethics, and research presentation, as well as field trips to local neighboring Silicon Valley research laboratories. The summer program concludes witha research poster presentation by the SURF-IT students, coordinated with other undergraduate summer programs within the institution. The goal of the program is to promote diversity in engineering by assisting motivated students in obtaining graduate degrees to then become positive role models for future generations of college students throughout the nation. Thus after the summer program, the faculty maintains continuing contact with SURF-IT alumni to assist them in applying to and succeeding in graduate school, as well as in their eventual careers.

机构：加州-圣克鲁斯大学提案编号：EIA -0244016 PI：Richard Hughey标题：REU网站在工程的巴斯金学校信息技术的夏季本科生研究奖学金（SURF-IT）计划提供了一个密集的和个性化的暑期课程为12个代表性不足（妇女和少数民族）和弱势本科生。学生主要来自没有强大的，个性化的研究机会的机构。SURF-IT是一个为期10周的暑期课程，包括由计算机工程，计算机科学或电气工程的教员直接监督的研究。学生们还每周举行一次关于研究生院准备，研究伦理和研究演示的会议，以及到当地邻近的硅谷研究实验室进行实地考察。暑期课程结束时，SURF-IT学生将与该机构内的其他本科暑期课程协调，展示研究海报。 该计划的目标是通过帮助有动力的学生获得研究生学位来促进工程的多样性，然后成为全国未来几代大学生的积极榜样。因此，在夏季课程之后，教师保持与SURF-IT校友的持续联系，以帮助他们申请并在研究生院取得成功，以及他们最终的职业生涯。
