This three year REU Site program at Oakland University will engage ten undergraduate students each year in hands-on research projects focused in the area of Electrical and Computer Engineering. The research projects will address technical challenges in biomedical engineering, nanotechnology, autonomous land and aerial vehicles, and medical image processing.The objectives of the REU program are the following: 1) to provide students with long-term collegial relationships with research faculty and experts from industry and other research organizations; 2) to provide women and minority students as well as students from non-research/liberal arts institutions with exciting research experience; 3) to increase the students' understanding of the nature of research and scientific reasoning; 4) to motivate students to pursue careers in research and graduate studies in science and engineering related fields; 5) to provide participants from Detroit, Michigan and surrounding areas and opportunity to be involved in projects beyond the traditional Detroit automotive industry; 6) to improve the student's oral and written technical communication skills, 7)to improve the student's teamwork and collaboration skills in a multidisciplinary environment, and ) to provide the department and faculty involved with valuable experience in incorporating undergraduate students into research programs.What are the broader impacts of the proposed activity?The PI intends to recruit 70% female and underrepresented minority students for the REU program. Students will be encouraged to pursue graduate studies in STEM related areas. The lessons learned from the program about successful retention and mentoring of students in a research environment, particularly the underrepresented; will be disseminated in appropriate conferences/journals.

这个为期三年的奥克兰大学REU网站计划将每年吸引10名本科生参与专注于电气和计算机工程领域的实践研究项目。 研究项目将解决生物医学工程、纳米技术、自主陆地和飞行器以及医学图像处理领域的技术挑战。REU计划的目标如下：1）为学生提供与研究人员和专家的长期合议关系来自行业和其他研究组织; 2）为妇女和少数民族学生以及来自非研究/文科院校的学生提供令人兴奋的研究经验; 3）增加学生对研究性质和科学推理的理解; 4）激励学生追求科学和工程相关领域的研究和研究生学习; 5）为来自底特律，密歇根州和周边地区的参与者提供参与传统底特律汽车行业以外项目的机会; 6）提高学生的口头和书面技术沟通能力，7）提高学生在多学科环境中的团队合作和协作能力，以及）为相关部门和教师提供将本科生纳入研究计划的宝贵经验。拟议活动的更广泛影响是什么？PI计划为REU计划招募70%的女性和代表性不足的少数民族学生。 将鼓励学生在STEM相关领域攻读研究生课程。从该计划中吸取的关于在研究环境中成功留住和指导学生的经验教训，特别是代表性不足的学生;将在适当的会议/期刊中传播。
