This project renews an exemplary existing Research Experience for Undergraduates site focused on the areas of pervasive and mobile computing. The project engages students in a wide range of projects in wireless engineering, including human-computer interaction, distributed computing, software architecture, network design, and simulation. A nationwide recruitment process is used to select 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 under-represented populations. The project includes mentoring by the experienced computer science faculty members, technical seminars and workshops, student presentations, and field trips and other professional development opportunities. Intellectual Merit: The intellectual merit of this project lies in strong research basis and the expertise of the faculty. The projects are in current research areas that are of interest to the community at large and that have clear practical applications. The students participate in a full range of research activities from preparing research literature reviews to production and dissemination of research results.Broader Impact: The broader impacts of the project include providing a quality research experience to undergraduate students, particularly students from underrepresented groups. The participating faculty members are committed to including under-represented minority students 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.

这个项目更新了一个典型的现有的本科生研究经验网站，专注于普及和移动计算领域。该项目要求学生参与无线工程的广泛项目，包括人机交互、分布式计算、软件架构、网络设计和仿真。一个全国性的招聘过程被用来选择本科生群体参加在主办机构为期十周的暑期研究项目。特别强调从代表性不足的人口中招收学生。该项目包括由经验丰富的计算机科学教师指导，技术研讨会和讲习班，学生演讲，实地考察和其他专业发展机会。智力优势：该项目的智力优势在于强大的研究基础和教师的专业知识。这些项目都是当前的研究领域，是整个社区感兴趣的，并且具有明确的实际应用。学生参与从准备研究文献综述到生产和传播研究成果的全方位研究活动。更广泛的影响：该项目的更广泛的影响包括为本科生，特别是来自代表性不足群体的学生提供高质量的研究经验。参与的教师致力于在他们的研究中包括代表性不足的少数民族学生。因此，这个项目有可能产生新的计算机科学研究生和教师，并在促进学习的同时推进发现和理解。
