REU Sites: Undergraduates Engaged in the Experimental Evaluation of Computer Security

该项目为本科生创建了一个新的研究体验网站，专注于计算机安全和可靠性工程领域。 一个全国性的招聘过程中领导的妇女在工程计划选择本科生的队列参加为期十周的夏季研究计划在主办机构。特别强调从代表性不足的人口和社区学院招收学生。该项目包括由经验丰富的计算机科学教师指导，技术研讨会和讲习班，团队建设活动，学生演讲和其他专业发展机会。该项目的智力优势在于强大的研究基础和教师的专业知识。这些项目是在当前的主要研究领域，是感兴趣的广大社会和有明确的实际应用。学生参与从准备研究文献到制作和传播研究成果的全方位研究活动。该项目的更广泛影响包括为本科生提供高质量的研究体验，特别是来自代表性不足群体的学生和社区学院的学生。参与的教师致力于让妇女和代表性不足的少数民族学生参与他们的研究。 因此，该项目有可能产生新的计算机科学研究生和教师，并在促进学习的同时推进发现和理解。 该项目还将提供受过更好技术教育的劳动力，以满足国家安全和经济优先事项。

This project creates a new Research Experience for Undergraduates site focused on the areas of computer security and reliability engineering. A nationwide recruitment process led by the Women in Engineering program selects cohorts of undergraduate students to participate in a ten-week summer research program at the host institution. Particular emphasis is placed on recruitment of students from under-represented populations and from community colleges. The project includes mentorship by the experienced computer science faculty members, technical seminars and workshops, team building activities, student presentations, and other professional development opportunities.The intellectual merit of this project lies in strong research basis and the expertise of the faculty. The projects are in major current research areas that are of interest to the community at large and that have clear practical applications. The students participate in a full range of research activities from preparing research literature to production and dissemination of research results.The broader impacts of the project include providing a quality research experience for undergraduate students, particularly students from underrepresented groups and community college students. The participating faculty members are committed to engaging women and under-represented minority students in their research. Thus this project has the potential to produce new computer science graduate students and faculty members and to advance discovery and understanding while promoting learning. The project will also provide a better technically educated workforce to meet national security and economic priorities.
