This renewal three-year REU Site program in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Minnesota is focused on encouraging a culturally diverse group of students to pursue successful careers in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) beyond the undergraduate level. Eight undergraduate students each year will participant in a ten-week summer research experience in which they will be paired with electrical and computer engineering faculty and work within their faculty mentor's research group. This REU Site program will provide participants with an integrated research and educational experience. Participants will have access to state-of-the-art research facilities while working with faculty who are actively involved in relevant academic research and have extensive experience mentoring undergraduate students. In addition to the research activities, the REU participants will be involved in complementary educational activities that will provide them with knowledge on career choices and graduate studies options, procedures, and funding. These complementary educational activities include a weekly seminar focusing on their research, workshops on career options, ethics, graduate school, and opportunities for exploring the teaching and outreach aspects of academia, and company visits. As a capstone to their REU experience, students will prepare final written reports and give presentations at a departmental poster session and an all-campus summer research program symposium. Social interaction between students will be enhanced through organized social events/outings, with additional student-student interaction provided by a community living environment.This REU Site program will provide undergraduate women, underrepresented minorities, and students from non-research institutions with a challenging and rewarding introduction to research in electrical and computer engineering. By specifically targeting women, underrepresented minorities, and students from institutions without significant research opportunities, this program will strive to increase participation of these groups in the U.S. research and development enterprise by encouraging them to attend graduate school and pursue careers in STEM areas. Results from participant?s research activities will be widely disseminated through the programs website, conference presentations, and journal articles.

明尼苏达大学电气和计算机工程领域的 REU 站点更新项目为期三年，重点是鼓励具有不同文化背景的学生在本科水平以上的科学、技术、工程和数学 (STEM) 领域追求成功的职业生涯。 每年八名本科生将参加为期十周的夏季研究体验，其中他们将与电气和计算机工程教师配对，并在教师导师的研究小组中工作。 REU 站点计划将为参与者提供综合的研究和教育体验。参与者将有机会使用最先进的研究设施，同时与积极参与相关学术研究并在指导本科生方面拥有丰富经验的教师合作。 除了研究活动外，REU 参与者还将参与补充教育活动，为他们提供有关职业选择和研究生学习选择、程序和资金的知识。这些补充性的教育活动包括每周一次的研讨会，重点关注他们的研究，关于职业选择、道德、研究生院的研讨会，以及探索学术界教学和外展方面的机会，以及公司参观。作为 REU 经历的最后一步，学生将准备最终书面报告，并在院系海报会议和全校园夏季研究计划研讨会上进行演示。 通过有组织的社交活动/郊游，以及社区生活环境提供的额外学生与学生之间的互动，学生之间的社交互动将得到加强。REU 站点项目将为女本科生、代表性不足的少数族裔和非研究机构的学生提供具有挑战性且有益的电气和计算机工程研究介绍。 该计划专门针对女性、代表性不足的少数族裔以及没有大量研究机会的机构的学生，鼓励他们进入研究生院并在 STEM 领域追求职业生涯，努力提高这些群体对美国研发企业的参与度。 参与者的研究活动结果将通过项目网站、会议报告和期刊文章广泛传播。
