This CISE REU Site award renews an exemplary site at the University of South Florida. The site includes a strong research component combined with professional development opportunities for the participating students. Students will have the opportunity explore research topics related to ubiquitous sensing, which includes current topics such as fixed and mobile sensing networks, location-based services, participatory sensing, and human-centric sensing applications. The primary goals of this renewal are to achieve systematic increase of the graduation rate of undergraduate students as well as the enrollment numbers in graduate programs in Computer Science, to the recruit minority students, and to serve as a bridge program for community colleges students to pursue computer science degrees in 4-yr universities. The team will continue the successful strategies used to recruit Hispanics students from a broader group of institutions in Puerto Rico, Florida, and Latin America, and African-American students from their partner institutions. The intellectual merit of this proposal in the potential to contribute to the current research body related to ubiquitous sensing. Ubiquitous sensing is an area of current interest that is well-suited to undergraduate research productivity. Students will be involved in state-of-the-art research problems and will learn how to use current tools and techniques to solve those problems.The broader impacts of this project revolve around the ambitious outreach activities the project plans to undertake. This REU site will provide students with research opportunities in areas not available at their home institutions. The program will directly address a national concern, which is the participation and enrollment of students from under-represented groups in graduate school and research in computer science. The project will establish stronger ties between the involved institutions for more collaboration in the future, including connections with community colleges.

这个CISE REU网站奖更新了南佛罗里达大学的示范网站。 该网站包括一个强大的研究组成部分与参与学生的专业发展机会相结合。 学生将有机会探索与无处不在的传感相关的研究课题，其中包括当前的主题，如固定和移动的传感网络，基于位置的服务，参与式传感和以人为中心的传感应用。此次更新的主要目标是实现本科生毕业率的系统性增长，以及在计算机科学研究生课程的招生人数，招收少数民族学生，并作为社区学院学生在四年制大学攻读计算机科学学位的桥梁计划。该团队将继续采用成功的策略，从波多黎各、佛罗里达和拉丁美洲更广泛的机构中招收拉美裔学生，并从他们的合作机构中招收非洲裔学生。 这一建议的智力价值在于有可能为当前与无处不在的传感相关的研究机构做出贡献。普适传感是当前感兴趣的领域，非常适合本科生的研究生产力。 学生将参与最先进的研究问题，并将学习如何使用当前的工具和技术来解决这些问题。该项目的更广泛的影响围绕着该项目计划开展的雄心勃勃的推广活动。这个REU网站将为学生提供研究机会，在他们的家庭机构无法提供的领域。 该计划将直接解决一个国家关注的问题，即来自研究生院和计算机科学研究的代表性不足群体的学生的参与和入学。该项目将在参与机构之间建立更强的联系，以便在未来进行更多的合作，包括与社区学院建立联系。
