REU SITE: Numerical Computing and Optimization in Multidisciplinary Applications: Methods and Software

该项目是一个由佛罗里达国际大学(FIU)主办的数值计算和优化REU网站。这个网站？位于佛罗里达州东南部的S地区，是一个快速发展的通信产业中心。美国劳工统计局和佛罗里达州劳工统计局的信息表明，2006-2016年间，对计算机系统和数据通信分析师的需求预计将会增长。FIU正在招收不同的学生群体，并让他们参与研究体验，以确保更多的人将进入研究生院学习。每年夏天，从全国各地挑选10名学生参加各种研究项目，这些项目由教员指导，为期10周。项目涉及新兴应用程序的可重新配置算法、软件和操作系统等基础多学科领域。学生们还参加了一些技术和专业研讨会。智力优势：参加这个暑期项目的本科生在多样化和多元文化的环境中进行有指导的研究并获得丰富的经验。从全国各地挑选女性和代表性不足的少数民族参加该计划，从而为研究提供了不同的视角和力量。学生项目允许参与者学习理论和实践电信和网络的基本原理。本科生参加有组织的培训课程，学习如何进行研究，以及如何成为有效的团队成员。研究项目涉及模型设计、算法开发和测试，以及设计和验证安全、上下文感知和可适应的下一代计算和通信系统和设备所需的软件和工具。更广泛的影响：该项目吸引来自代表性不足群体的学生参与研究，使他们接触到研究生学习的可能性，并鼓励他们选择一条涉及研究的职业道路。这些学生在与其他同样致力于科学和工程的学生交往时，会培养他们在智力上的自信。这个REU网站提高了本科生的研究技能，并改善了这些学生的就业选择。这提供了一支更强大的受过技术教育的美国劳动力队伍。REU的研究进展被整合到FIU的相关课程中，从而使其他学生受益。

This project is a Numerical Computing and Optimization REU site hosted by Florida International University (FIU). This site?s region, Southeast Florida, is a rapidly growing communication industry hub. This REU Site contributes to a well trained technical workforce in response to information from to the US and Florida Bureau of Labor Statistics indicating that the need for computer systems and data communication analysts is projected to grow during the 2006-2016 period. FIU is recruiting a diverse group of students and engaging them in a research experience to ensure that greater numbers will attend graduate school. Each summer 10 students are selected from across the country to participate in a variety of research projects that are supervised by the faculty for a period of 10 weeks. Projects span fundamental multidisciplinary areas in reconfigurable algorithms, software and operating systems for emerging applications. Students also attend a number of technical and professional seminars. Intellectual Merit: Undergraduate students participating in this summer program perform supervised research and obtain rich experiences in a diverse and multicultural environment. Female and under represented minorities are selected from across the country to participate in the program, thus giving a diverse perspective and strength to the research. The student projects allow participants to learn fundamental principles of theoretical and practical telecommunications and networking. The undergraduate students attend structured training sessions to learn how research is conducted and how to be effective team members. The research projects involve a combination of model design, development and testing of algorithms, and software and tools necessary to design and validate secure, context-aware and adaptable next generation computing and communication systems and devices. Broader Impacts: This project engages students from underrepresented groups in research and exposes them to the possibilities of graduate study and encourages them to choose a career path involving research. The students develop intellectual confidence as they associate with other students who share their commitment to science and engineering. This REU site advances the research skills of the undergraduate participants and improves the employment options for these students. This provides a stronger technically educated American workforce. The REU research advances are integrated into the curriculum of related classes at FIU and thus benefit other students.
