This REU Site program at the University of Arkansas will focus on applied research in the development of monitoring and detection Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) systems for a variety of multidisciplinary purposes, such as structural and environmental monitoring, radio frequency identification (RFID), telemetrics, smart home, biomedical sensing, etc. This three year REU site program will engage 10 undergraduate students each year in hands-on research in this important research area.The objectives of this program include the following: 1) introduce WSN concepts and applications to undergraduate students; 2) provide opportunities for collaborative project-based research with hands-on experience in a multidisciplinary atmosphere; 3) attract undergraduate students from traditionally underrepresented groups to conduct research in an emerging field; 4) provide students with the opportunities to apply the knowledge learned in the classroom to solve real-world problems; 5) provide a unique opportunity for participants to carryout research projects specifically designed for them in state-of-the-art laboratories; 6) provide opportunities for the REU students to serve as mentors to younger students; 7) foster a strong bond and team spirit among the participants; and 8) motivate the participants to pursue advanced graduate-level degrees in STEM disciplines. The REU Site program will culminate with the participants giving a final presentation, demonstrating a working prototype system, and writing a conference paper on their work to be presented at an appropriate conference.What are the broader impacts of the proposed activity?Recruitment efforts will be targeted to participants from underrepresented groups. Students who participate in this REU program will be encouraged and motivated to pursue graduate-level degrees. "This REU Site is co-funded by the Department of Defense in partnership with the NSF REU program."

阿肯色大学的REU站点项目将专注于监测和检测无线传感器网络（WSN）系统的应用研究，用于各种多学科目的，如结构和环境监测、射频识别（RFID）、遥测、智能家居、生物医学传感等。这个为期三年的REU现场项目每年将招收10名本科生在这个重要的研究领域进行实践研究。本课程的目标包括：1)向本科生介绍无线传感器网络的概念和应用；2)在多学科氛围中提供基于合作项目的研究机会，并提供实践经验；3)吸引传统上代表性不足的群体的本科生在新兴领域进行研究；4)为学生提供运用课堂知识解决现实问题的机会；5)为参与者提供独特的机会，在最先进的实验室中进行专门为他们设计的研究项目；6)为REU学生提供指导年轻学生的机会；7)培养参与者之间的紧密联系和团队精神；8)激励参与者攻读STEM学科的高级研究生学位。REU现场项目将以参与者做最后的演示、演示一个工作原型系统，并就他们的工作撰写一篇会议论文，在适当的会议上发表。建议的活动有何更广泛的影响？招募工作将针对来自代表性不足群体的参与者。参加这个REU项目的学生将被鼓励和激励去攻读研究生学位。“这个REU站点是由国防部与NSF REU项目合作资助的。”
