REU Site at CENS:Sensing Applications in Earthquake and Environmental EngineeringAbstractThe Center for Embedded Networked Sensing (CENS), headquartered at UCLA, is a multidisciplinary research center focused on developing embedded networked sensing (ENS) technology and applying this revolutionary technology to crucial scientific and social applications. CENS infrastructure provides an ideal environment for undergraduate researchers to gain research experience and become part of a productive and collaborative research community. This REU project represents an effective approach to supporting undergraduate research experience, particularly focused on promoting long-term interest in science and engineering for women and underrepresented minorities. The Center?s approach to undergraduate education is based on our expertise in working with undergraduates, a comprehensive and longitudinal evaluation of our programs, the evolution of research, collaboration and mentoring within the Center, and a body of literature that examines undergraduates? experiences in science and engineering. The CENS REU site experience takes a systems approach to undergraduate training, emphasizing Environment, Experience, and Engagement. This approach facilitates development of a tight-knit cohort of undergraduate researchers engaging in forefront research. Our mentoring community is vital to increasing student competence, developing collegial relationships, and improving collaborative interactions. A ten-week comprehensive program, housed at UCLA, intellectually focuses on civil and environmental engineering applications of earthquake and environmental monitoring research. Research projects engage participating undergraduates in ongoing research within this application area, while contextualizing this research within the scope of the Center. The program includes mechanisms for students to understand the commonalities and connections between their application area and the development of broader ENS technologies. Additionally, the program introduces students to data and data visualization tools that are common across the Center?s applications areas.

CENS的REU站点：地震和环境工程中的传感应用摘要嵌入式网络传感中心（CENS），总部设在加州大学洛杉矶分校，是一个多学科研究中心，专注于开发嵌入式网络传感（ENS）技术，并将这种革命性的技术应用于关键的科学和社会应用。 CENS基础设施为本科研究人员提供了一个理想的环境，以获得研究经验，并成为一个富有成效的和协作的研究社区的一部分。 这个REU项目代表了一种有效的方法来支持本科生的研究经验，特别是注重促进妇女和代表性不足的少数民族在科学和工程的长期兴趣。 中心？的本科教育方法是基于我们的专业知识与本科生，我们的计划，研究，合作和指导中心内的演变，全面和纵向的评估，以及检查本科生的文学机构？在科学和工程方面的经验。 CENS REU网站的经验需要系统的方法来本科生培训，强调环境，经验和参与。 这种方法有利于发展一个紧密联系的本科研究人员从事前沿研究。 我们的指导社区是至关重要的，以提高学生的能力，发展合议关系，并改善协作互动。 一个为期十周的综合计划，设在加州大学洛杉矶分校，智力上侧重于地震和环境监测研究的土木和环境工程应用。 研究项目参与本科生在这个应用领域正在进行的研究，同时在该中心的范围内进行这项研究。 该计划包括让学生了解其应用领域与更广泛的ENS技术发展之间的共性和联系的机制。此外，该计划向学生介绍数据和数据可视化工具，是整个中心常见的？的应用领域。
