REU Site: Site for Extensive and Collaborative Undergraduate Research Experience (SECURE)

该奖项资助了内布拉斯加州大学奥马哈分校的一个新的CEISE REU网站。一个由计算机科学、生物信息学、信息保障和计算机工程的信息技术(IT)教师组成的多学科团队将合作建立一个网站，该网站将专注于无线通信(WC)的研究，项目以使用智能家居环境进行实时患者监控为中心。REU网站的总体目标是促进本科生及早参与研究，在合作研究环境中通过动手实验培养主动学习，并激励学生追求更高学位的IT课程和研究职业。Secure计划将通过提供一组精心设计和广泛设计的研究项目来实现这些目标，这些项目具有广泛的技术挑战，供参与的本科生探索和实验。该计划将使学生能够通过各种REU现场活动发展研究技能、实验室技能、逻辑推理、解决问题的技能和有效的沟通技能，并将通过深入的合作和社会互动在学生和教师之间建立长期的指导关系。这个网站是由国防部与NSF REU计划共同资助的。该项目的智力价值在于经验丰富的研究人员的强大团队和出色的协作研究环境。这些项目来自该领域的原创和迫切的研究问题，从厕所的核心技术到厕所的信息保障问题和多媒体细节，以及厕所在医疗和消费者信息学中的应用。该研究计划将促进厕所技术在我们的日常生活和工作场所的发展和应用，并有可能推动这些重要领域的研究现状。更广泛的影响包括为学生提供令人兴奋的IT研究的滋味，这将直接影响他们未来的职业道路。该计划将促进在我们目前的本科课程中嵌入研究内容，从而加强对REU现场参与者以外的广泛学生的教育。该计划计划招收一批不同的学生，重点是该国中西部地区的妇女和少数民族。因此，该项目有可能产生新的计算机科学研究生和教职员工，并在促进学习的同时促进发现和理解。

This award funds a new CISE REU site at the University of Nebraska-Omaha. A multi-disciplinary team of Information Technology (IT) faculty in Computer Science, Bio-Informatics, Information Assurance, and Computer Engineering will collaborate to establish a site that will focus on research in wireless communications (WC) with projects centered on real-time patient monitoring using a Smart Home environment. The overall objectives of the REU Site are to promote early engagement of undergraduate students in research, to foster active learning through hands-on experiments in a collaborative research environment, and to inspire the students to pursue higher degree IT programs and research careers. The SECURE program will achieve these objectives by offering a group of carefully and extensively designed research projects with a wide range of technological challenges for the participating undergraduates to explore and experiment. The program will enable the students to develop research skills, laboratory skills, logical reasoning, problem solving techniques, and effective communication skills via a variety of REU Site activities and it will establish long-term mentoring relationships between the students and faculty through intensive collaboration and social interaction. This site is co-funded by the Department of Defense in partnership with the NSF REU program. The intellectual merit of this project lies in the strong team of experienced researchers and the outstanding collaborative research environment. The projects are drawn from original and urgent research problems in the field, ranging from core WC technology to information assurance issues and multimedia specifics in WC, as well as applications of WC in medical and consumer informatics. The research program will promote the development and application of WC technology in our daily lives and work places and has the potential to advance the current state of research in these important areas.The broader impacts include providing students with a taste of exciting IT research that will have a direct bearing on their future career paths. The program will promote the embedment of research components in our current undergraduate curricula and thus enhance the education of a broad range of students beyond the REU site participants. The program plans to recruit a diverse group of students with a focus on women and minorities from the mid-west region of the country. Thus the project has the potential to produce new computer science graduate students and faculty members and to advance discovery and understanding while promoting learning.
