Abstract:This REU site seeks to increase the number of students choosing to pursue graduate studies, and ultimately careers, in computer science. The participants experience the most compelling aspects of graduate school in a ten week summer program. The program nurtures student interest in research by engaging students in the entire research process, beginning with a search of the literature, reading prior research, selecting the specific problems to be studied, working on those problems, and preparing the results for publication. The program develops research skills and improves written and oral communication skills in order to prepare students for success in graduate school.The research topics fall under the broadly scoped area of computer systems. Topics include computer networking, robot vision, computer music systems, and memory management, among others. Each project involves two or three students under the close direction of a faculty adviser whose expertise is in that area. In addition, students participate in a number of whole-group curricular and co-curricular activities. Among these activities are workshops on research methods, ethics, applying to graduate schools, careers in computer science, and technical topics.This program seeks to involve students from a variety of backgrounds and particularly those from schools with limited access to research opportunities. The project includes a comprehensive local and national recruiting-outreach program.

摘要：本REU网站旨在增加选择攻读计算机科学研究生并最终从事计算机科学职业的学生人数。参与者在为期十周的暑期项目中体验研究生院最引人注目的方面。该计划通过让学生参与整个研究过程来培养学生对研究的兴趣，从文献搜索开始，阅读先前的研究，选择要研究的具体问题，研究这些问题，并准备发表结果。该计划发展研究技能，提高书面和口头沟通能力，以准备学生在研究生院的成功。研究课题属于广泛的计算机系统领域。主题包括计算机网络、机器人视觉、计算机音乐系统和内存管理等。每个项目涉及两到三名学生，在该领域专业知识的指导老师的密切指导下。此外，学生还参加了许多小组课程和课外活动。这些活动包括关于研究方法、伦理、研究生院申请、计算机科学职业和技术主题的研讨会。该项目旨在吸引来自不同背景的学生，特别是那些来自研究机会有限的学校的学生。该项目包括一个全面的地方和国家招聘外联方案。
