REU Sites: Undergraduate Research in Home Networking Technologies

CNS-0649158PI：海滨路机构：密苏里大学-哥伦比亚分校标题：REU网站：家庭网络技术本科生研究本项目为本科生创建了一个专注于家庭网络技术领域的新的研究体验网站。在体验期间，学生将在他们构建的家庭网络测试平台上研究可行的解决方案。这些项目使学生能够更好地了解多媒体通信、无线网络、版权保护和网络安全领域的技术问题、性能和权衡。地区招生程序挑选一批本科生参加主办机构为期十周的暑期研究项目。特别强调从那些可能没有多少机会获得研究经验的机构招收学生。其目标是向学生展示一个合作的研究环境，培养学生对科学和工程的热情，并发展学生攻读高级研究学位所需的技能。该项目包括经验丰富的教师指导、技术研讨会和工作坊、团队建设活动、学生演示和其他职业发展机会。该项目的智力优势在于雄厚的研究基础和教师的专业知识。这些项目涉及一个新兴的研究领域，对该领域既及时又重要，对学生也很有吸引力。学生参与从准备研究文献到产生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，特别是来自代表性不足群体的学生和社区学院学生提供高质量的研究体验。参与研究的教职员工致力于招募和吸引来自代表性不足群体的女性和学生参与他们的研究。因此，这个项目有可能产生新的计算机科学研究生和教职员工，并在促进学习的同时促进发现和理解。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。

CNS-0649158PI: Haibin LuInstitution: University of Missouri - ColumbiaTitle: REU Site: Undergraduate Research in Home Networking Technologies This project creates a new Research Experience for Undergraduates site focused on the area of home networking technologies. During the experience, students investigate viable solutions on a home network test platform that they construct. The projects allow students to achieve a better understanding of the technical issues, performance, and trade-offs in areas of multimedia communications, wireless networking, copyright protection, and network security. A regional recruitment process 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 institutions where they may have had limited opportunities for research experiences. The goals are to expose students a collaborative research environment, foster student enthusiasm for science and engineering, and develop the skills the students need to pursue advanced research degrees. The project includes mentorship by the experienced 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 involve an emerging research area that is timely and important to the field as well as attractive to the students. The students participate in a full range of research activities from preparing research literature review 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 recruiting and engaging women and students from underrepresented groups 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.
