Abstract: The primary objective of the REU Site is to promote graduate studies in Computer and Information Science and Engineering to bright, talented undergraduate students with little exposure to research. The recruited participants will - Spend 10 summer weeks on campus where they are immersed into a research environment with all its facets; - Participate actively in shaping the research project and in defining its solution; - Communicate to peers and other audiences about their progress and their findings; - Visit research laboratories and attend presentations about all aspects of research and research careers; - Be provided ample opportunities to form protégé-mentor relationships with faculty mentors, graduate students, and other researchers involved in the program's activities; - Meet with successful professionals from academia and industry and discuss all aspects of their lives and careers in computing; and - Submit the result of their research to professional conferences and, most do attend at least one conference and present their work. Student participants are strongly encouraged to continue their involvement in research beyond the 10-week program. Follow up contacts with past participants show that most of them do, and almost all who have graduated have enrolled in graduate school. The intellectual merit and broader impact of the project are four-fold. First, it consists of the research results produced by the students. Their efforts contributed fresh ideas to ongoing large scale projects, or serve as seed ideas to start up new projects that are continued later by the same or other students. The second intellectual merit is of a pedagogical nature and consists of the lessons learned by the faculty in terms of successful recruiting, mentoring, and retention. Third, the program has a direct impact on the student participants especially when they enroll in graduate studies as a direct result of their participation. Most of the activities related to the program, from recruiting to the many special events open to the public have an indirect impact on a much larger number of students by raising their awareness of the nature of graduate studies and research careers. Finally, the mentors benefit from working with students in a structured setting.

摘要：REU网站的主要目标是促进计算机和信息科学与工程的研究生学习，使聪明，有才华的本科生很少接触研究。被招募的参与者将-在校园度过10个夏季周，在那里他们沉浸在一个研究环境中的所有方面; -积极参与塑造研究项目，并确定其解决方案; - 与同行和其他受众交流他们的进展和发现; - 参观研究实验室，并参加有关研究和研究生涯的各个方面的演讲; -提供充足的机会，与教师导师，毕业生形成学生-导师关系 学生和参与该计划活动的其他研究人员; - 与来自学术界和工业界的成功专业人士会面，讨论他们生活的各个方面， 计算机职业;以及-将他们的研究结果提交给专业会议，大多数人至少参加一次 会议并介绍他们的工作。强烈鼓励学生参与者在10周计划之后继续参与研究。与过去的参与者进行的后续接触表明，他们中的大多数人都有，几乎所有毕业的人都进入了研究生院。该项目的知识价值和更广泛的影响是四方面的。首先，它由学生产生的研究成果组成。他们的努力为正在进行的大型项目提供了新的想法，或者作为种子想法启动新项目，这些项目后来由同一个或其他学生继续进行。第二个智力价值是教学性质，包括教师在成功招聘，指导和保留方面所吸取的教训。第三，该计划对学生参与者有直接的影响，特别是当他们作为参与的直接结果而进入研究生学习时。与该计划相关的大多数活动，从招聘到向公众开放的许多特别活动，通过提高他们对研究生学习和研究职业性质的认识，对更多的学生产生了间接影响。最后，导师受益于与学生在一个结构化的设置工作。
