REU Site: Research Experience for Undergraduates in Satellite and Ground-Based Remote Sensing at NOAA-CREST_2

该项目旨在继续为本科生提供机会，与国家海洋和大气管理局合作遥感科学和技术中心（NOAA-CREST）联合会的教员导师一起进行密集的合作卫星和地面遥感研究。 10名STEM（科学、技术、工程和数学）学生将从纽约（CUNY）的23个独立校区招募。 在十五周的时间里，这些学生将成为积极从事最先进遥感应用的研究学者社区的一部分。他们将参加研究小组会议、研讨会，在地方、区域和国家会议上作口头和海报介绍，其中两艘将横渡大西洋前往西非，进行实地遥感研究。 通过这些独特而创新的努力，许多代表性不足的少数民族学生，否则他们不会完全追求STEM教育，或者不会追求STEM教育，直到研究生水平，可以选择遵循STEM途径，要么研究生教育或STEM职业。智力价值该项目将为有前途的本科生提供与科学家和工程师合作的机会，并在我们国家的一个大学进行研究。卫星和地基遥感领域的首要科学中心。 遥感是一个非常重要的，独特的，年轻的科学领域，它实际上是未知的，如果不是大多数，在纽约市立大学的本科生。 项目活动将联合收割机长达一年的研究经验与重点，多层面/分层的指导，以及一个强大的学习社区相结合，为参与学生的科学和学术成长和发展提供全面和吸引人的刺激。 该项目的科学和教育价值来自两个主要来源：1）侧重于将学习从科学和数学转移到技术、计算机系统和工程应用，其中将在特别是自然科学和数学课程中学到的基本原理应用于现实世界的问题; 2）NOAA-CREST研究人员的科学、数学和工程专业知识，他们都是专业活跃的学者。更广泛的影响参加这个项目的学生将成为我们未来的工程师和科学家。民族 即使是那些选择其他职业的学生，也会通过对科学重要性的更深入理解而使自己和我们的社会受益匪浅。 无论参与者未来的努力如何，伦理部分都将与他们终身相关：他们将参与当今和未来科学技术提出的最紧迫的伦理挑战。 此外，该项目将允许本科研究人员通过在纽约市公立学校系统中担任K - 12学生的研究导师来磨练他们获得的技能和知识。 与会者将与来自不同学科和不同机构的科学家进行接触，他们拥有共同的探究和诚信的知识价值观。

This project seeks to continue to provide undergraduate students an opportunity to conduct intensive, collaborative satellite and ground-based remote sensing research with faculty mentors from within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Cooperative Remote Sensing Science and Technology Center (NOAA-CREST) consortium. Ten STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) students will be recruited from City University of New York (CUNY)'s 23 separate campuses. For fifteen weeks, these students will become part of a community of research scholars who are actively engaged in state-of-the-art remote sensing applications. They will participate in research group meetings, seminars, oral and poster presentations at local, regional, and national conferences, and two of them will sail across the Atlantic Ocean to West Africa, conducting in situ remote sensing research. Through these unique and innovative endeavors, many underrepresented minority students who would otherwise not pursue STEM education altogether or would not pursue STEM education through to the graduate level can choose to follow STEM pathways to either graduate education or careers in STEM.Intellectual merit The project will provide promising undergraduate students the opportunity to work with scientists and engineers and conduct research at one of our nation's premier scientific center in the area of Satellite and Ground-Based Remote Sensing. Remote Sensing is a critically important, unique, and young area of science, and it is practically unknown to many, if not most, of the undergraduates at CUNY. The project activities combine year long research experiences with focused, multidimensional/layered mentoring, and a robust learning community that produce holistic and engaging stimuli for the scientific and academic growth and development of the participated students. The scientific and educational value of this project derives from two main sources: 1) a focus on the transfer of learning from sciences and mathematics to technology, computer systems and engineering applications where fundamental principles learned in particular natural sciences and mathematics courses are applied to real-world problems; and 2) the scientific, mathematical, and engineering expertise of the NOAA-CREST researchers, all of whom are professionally active scholars.Broader impacts The students participating in this program will become the future engineers and scientists of our nation. Even those students who choose other careers will greatly benefit both themselves and our society by having a deeper understanding of the importance of the science. The ethics component will have lifelong relevance to participants no matter what their future endeavors: they will have engaged with the most pressing ethical challenges presented by science and technology today and in the future. Moreover, the project will allow the undergraduate researchers to hone their acquired skills and knowledge by being research mentors to K - 12 students in the New York City Public school system. Participants will have engaged with scientists from different disciplines and different institutions who share common intellectual values of inquiry and integrity.
