SummaryThe project objectives are to broaden participation in computing doctoralprograms by providing a year-round research experience that will immerseundergraduates into the activities and culture of a research lab. The activitiesinclude a summer research experience and an academic year experienceintroducing students to computing research methodologies and a broad array ofcomputing research disciplines. Students will receive support from peer and faculty mentors. Students willtake a GRE prep course and will be shown how to apply to and succeed ingraduate school. The targeted student participants are women andunderrepresented minority students who are rising juniors,predominantly from non-doctoral institutions. The intended impact is that a highnumber of REU students will apply to computing doctoral programs.NTELLECTURAL MERIT Project merit resides in the contributions to computing research that will beproduced by the undergraduate students participating in the REU Site.Additionally, the program evaluation will inform efforts to recruit undergraduate students to doctoral programs by demonstrating the success and challenges of thisREU Site structure for motivating students to apply to doctoral programs in computing.BROADER IMPACT The PIs anticipate increased numbers of students from underrepresented populations incomputing who successfully participate in research and who apply to and are accepted into graduate programs in computing.

该项目的目标是通过提供一个全年的研究经验，将immerseuniversities到一个研究实验室的活动和文化，以扩大参与计算博士课程。这些活动包括暑期研究体验和学年体验，向学生介绍计算研究方法和广泛的计算研究学科。学生将得到同行和教师导师的支持。学生将参加GRE预备课程，并将学习如何申请并成功进入大学。目标学生参与者是妇女和代表性不足的少数民族学生，他们主要来自非博士机构。预期的影响是，大量的REU学生将申请计算博士课程。NTELLECTURAL MERIT项目的优点在于参与REU网站的本科生将对计算研究做出贡献。此外，项目评估将通过展示REU网站结构在激励学生申请方面的成功和挑战，为招收本科生到博士项目提供信息到计算机博士课程。更广泛的影响PI预计，来自计算机领域代表性不足人群的学生人数将增加，他们成功参与研究并申请并被计算机研究生课程录取。
