This project renews a Research Experience for Undergraduates site focused on the area of computer security at the new Maryland Cyber Security Center at the University of Maryland. The site plans to offer enhanced research experiences to teams of undergraduate students. The REU students, called Scholars, will be involved in a variety of aspects of the research process including designing and conducting experiments, analyzing data, handling specialized technical equipment, writing research reports and papers for publication, and presenting their research to others. The site plans to select cohorts of undergraduate students to participate in a nine-week summer research program at the host institution. Particular emphasis is placed on recruitment of students from under-represented populations and from community colleges. The project includes mentorship by the experienced computer science faculty members, technical seminars and workshops, team building activities, student presentations, and other professional development opportunities. The research experience results in the students' better understanding of the computer science discipline, enhanced self-confidence and an increased interest in pursuing graduate school or future research opportunities.The intellectual merit of this project lies in strong research basis and the expertise of the faculty. The projects are in major current research areas that are of interest to the community at large and that have clear practical applications. The students participate in a full range of research activities from preparing research literature reviews to production and dissemination of research results.The broader impacts of the project include providing a quality research experience for undergraduate students, particularly students from underrepresented groups and community college students. The participating faculty members are committed to engaging women and under-represented minority students in their research. Thus this project has the potential to produce new computer science graduate students and faculty members and to advance discovery and understanding while promoting learning. The project will also provide a better technically educated workforce to meet national security and economic priorities.

这个项目更新了一个研究经验的本科生网站集中在计算机安全领域的新马里兰州网络安全中心在马里兰州的大学。 该网站计划为本科生团队提供增强的研究经验。REU学生，称为学者，将参与研究过程的各个方面，包括设计和进行实验，分析数据，处理专业技术设备，撰写研究报告和论文以供出版，并向他人展示他们的研究。 该网站计划选择一批本科生参加在主办机构为期九周的夏季研究计划。特别强调从代表性不足的人口和社区学院招收学生。该项目包括由经验丰富的计算机科学教师指导，技术研讨会和讲习班，团队建设活动，学生演讲和其他专业发展机会。 研究经验的结果，学生更好地了解计算机科学学科，增强自信心，并提高追求研究生院或未来的研究机会的兴趣。这个项目的智力价值在于强大的研究基础和教师的专业知识。这些项目是在当前的主要研究领域，是感兴趣的广大社会和有明确的实际应用。学生参与从准备研究文献综述到研究成果的制作和传播的全方位研究活动。该项目的更广泛影响包括为本科生提供高质量的研究体验，特别是来自代表性不足群体的学生和社区学院的学生。参与的教师致力于让妇女和代表性不足的少数民族学生参与他们的研究。 因此，该项目有可能产生新的计算机科学研究生和教师，并在促进学习的同时推进发现和理解。 该项目还将提供受过更好技术教育的劳动力，以满足国家安全和经济优先事项。
