This project establishes an REU site at Texas A&M University (TAMU) in several areas of computer science research: computing foundations, human-centered systems, information, intelligent systems and robotics, software, and software engineering and systems. The site will engage 8 interns per summer for 10 weeks in the on-going research projects of TAMU computer science faculty. Each intern will be mentored by a 3-person team consisting of one faculty member, one graduate student, and one undergraduate ("peer mentoring"). In addition to the formal research projects, the site will sponsor weekly seminars on a number of research topics. The PI will focus on recruitment of interns from other TAMU campuses as well as HBCU's, with which she has already established relations. Her TAMU campus already has a summer undergraduate research program funded by the General Electric Foundation that she will leverage with this REU award to increase the number of resident interns-concomitant with an expansion of the TAMU CS faculty. Site activities will include not only the research projects; interns will also receive coaching in how to apply to graduate school. Organized group activities will help develop a sense of community among the interns.

该项目在德克萨斯农工大学(TAMU)建立了一个REU站点，涉及计算机科学研究的多个领域：计算基础、以人为中心的系统、信息、智能系统和机器人、软件以及软件工程和系统。该网站将在每年夏天雇佣8名实习生，为期10周，参与TAMU计算机科学学院正在进行的研究项目。每个实习生将由一个由一名教员、一名研究生和一名本科生组成的三人小组进行指导(“同行指导”)。除了正式的研究项目外，该网站还将每周举办一次关于一些研究主题的研讨会。PI将专注于从塔马大学的其他校区以及HBCU招聘实习生，她已经与这些校区建立了关系。她的TAMU校区已经有一个由通用电气基金会资助的暑期本科生研究项目，她将利用这一REU奖来增加常驻实习生的数量，同时扩大TAMU CS教师的规模。现场活动不仅包括研究项目，实习生还将接受如何申请研究生院的指导。有组织的小组活动将有助于培养实习生的社区意识。
