REUMass: A Summer Computing Research Experience for Undergraduates

马萨诸塞大学阿姆赫斯特分校计算机科学系在W. Richards (Rick) Adrion教授和项目经理Wendy Cooper的指导下举办了“REUMass：本科生暑期计算研究体验”。该项目与英联邦信息技术教育联盟（CAITE）以及其他合作伙伴合作，包括其他NSF BPC联盟，如ACCESS、CRA/CDC、CCCE、NCWIT、ELA和Georgia computers；NSF扩大参与计划，包括NE-LSAMP、UM-LSAMP和NEAGEP；和其他马萨诸塞大学阿默斯特REU站点。REUMass的合作伙伴提供了一个广泛撒网的机会，并将各种各样的学生带入积极的研究经历，我们希望这将增加进入研究生课程和研究职业的学生人数，特别是那些以前没有机会的学生。马萨诸塞大学的学生将有机会与马萨诸塞大学阿默斯特分校的顶尖研究人员一起研究重要的科学问题。我们选择的项目强调基础计算机科学如何使广泛的IT应用成为可能。它们展示了CS领域的广泛机会，并已被证明对我们的目标受众具有吸引力。每年春季9名学生将被邀请参加为期10周的暑期课程。他们将被分成两组或三人组，参与卫生、政府、生物科学、交通、社会、教育等学科的一系列研究项目。学生将参加一系列技术活动，包括讲习班、研讨会、实地考察和社会活动，这些活动已被证明成功地在每年的队列参与者之间建立了密切和持续的关系。我们致力于不断改进网站程序，帮助REU学生在研究中取得成功，并对计算研究的挑战和回报有更广泛的认识。

The Department of Computer Science at the University of Massachusetts Amherst is hosting REUMass: A Summer Computing Research Experience for Undergraduates under the direction of Professor W. Richards (Rick) Adrion and Project Manager Wendy Cooper. This Program is cooperating with the Commonwealth Alliance for Information Technology Education (CAITE) - a CISE Broadening Participation in Computing Alliance based at UMass Amherst - and other partners, including other NSF BPC Alliances, such as ACCESS, CRA/CDC, CCCE, NCWIT, ELA and Georgia Computes; NSF Broadening Participation Programs, including NE-LSAMP, UM-LSAMP, and NEAGEP; and other UMass Amherst REU Sites. The REUMass partners provide an opportunity to cast a wide net and bring a diverse set of students into positive research experiences that we hope will increase the number of students entering graduate programs and research careers, particularly those who previously would not have had that opportunity. REUMass students will have the opportunity to work with leading UMass Amherst researchers on important scientific problems. Our selected projects emphasize how fundamental computer science enables a broad set of IT applications. They show the breadth of opportunities in CS and have proved to be attractive to our target audience. Each spring 9 students will be invited for a 10-week summer program. They will be assigned in pairs or triples to a range of research projects within a number of disciplines - health, government, biosciences, transportation, society, education, etc. Students will participate in a number of technical activities including workshops, seminars, and field trips, and social activities that have proved successful in creating a close and sustained relationship among the participants in each year's cohort. Our commitment to continuously improving the Site programs helps REU students achieve success in their research and obtain a broader view of the challenges and rewards of computing research.
