This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).This REU site is focused on cognitive communications at Virginia Polytechnic Institute, and hosts 10 undergraduate students for 10 weeks for 3 years. The site recruits, trains, and retains undergraduate students to research by supporting them in the following ways:? Prepares them to think creatively and independently;? Motivates them to pursue graduate studies;? Helps them to develop general research skills in an interdisciplinary context;? Allows them to gain hands-on experience in cognitive radios, wireless networking, and their applications;? Promotes a sense of confidence, team spirit, and an appreciation of the potential of interdisciplinary collaboration in creating new knowledge;? Exposes them to the intellectual excitement involved in research activities; and? Teaches them to effectively assimilate latest research, assess their own knowledge, present experimental results, effectively prepare reports and publications, and understand the methods for translating ?research to practice (R2P).?Intellectual Merit: Cognitive communications is an area of high interest to researchers in wireless communications. The mentors in the project have a strong background in this area and are well suited to carry out the projects with the students. The site has access to a high quality test bed for student experiments. Broader Impacts: This project recruits a high percentage of the students from underrepresented groups in computing. They especially focus upon minority serving institutions without large research programs.

该奖项是根据2009年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法111-5）资助的。该REU网站专注于弗吉尼亚理工学院的认知通信，并在3年内接待10名本科生，为期10周。该网站招募，培训，并通过以下方式支持他们保留本科生的研究：？使他们能够创造性地独立思考;？激励他们继续研究生学习;？帮助他们在跨学科背景下发展一般研究技能;？使他们能够获得认知无线电，无线网络及其应用方面的实践经验;？促进信心，团队精神，并在创造新知识的跨学科合作的潜力的赞赏感;？使他们接触到研究活动所涉及的智力兴奋;和？教他们有效地吸收最新的研究，评估自己的知识，目前的实验结果，有效地准备报告和出版物，并了解翻译的方法？从研究到实践（R2 P）智力优势：认知通信是无线通信研究人员高度感兴趣的领域。该项目的导师在这方面有很强的背景，非常适合与学生一起开展项目。该网站有一个高质量的测试平台，供学生实验。 更广泛的影响：该项目从计算领域代表性不足的群体中招募了很高比例的学生。他们特别关注没有大型研究项目的少数民族服务机构。
