REU Site: Research in Networking and Networks with Applications to Sustainability

这笔资金在蒙大拿州立大学建立了一个新的CEISE本科生研究体验(REU)网站，专注于网络和应用于可持续发展的网络。每年夏天，一批本科生将在主办机构参加为期十周的暑期研究项目。该项目包括由经验丰富的计算机科学教员进行指导、技术研讨会和研讨会、学生演示、实地考察和其他职业发展机会。REU Site计划将面向高质量的美国印第安人本科生、部落学院的学生以及资源有限的小型学院的学生。招聘工作将集中在计算机科学和工程专业的学生以及环境科学和其他相关学科的学生。该网站由激励竞争性研究的实验计划(EPSCoR)共同资助。该项目的智力价值在于雄厚的研究基础和教师的专业知识。这些项目的研究领域是最新的，涉及国家优先事项，如网络和传感器网络。学生参与各种研究活动，从准备研究文献综述到研究成果的产生和传播。该项目有可能增加网络系统的研究基础。该项目的更广泛影响包括为本科生，特别是来自代表性不足群体的学生提供高质量的研究体验。该项目团队致力于将代表不足的少数族裔学生纳入他们的研究。因此，这个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 funding establishes a new CISE Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site at Montana State University focused on networking and networks with applications for sustainability. Each summer a cohort of undergraduate students will participate in a ten-week summer research program at the host institution. The project includes mentoring by the experienced computer science faculty members, technical seminars and workshops, student presentations, and field trips and other professional development opportunities. The REU Site program will target high-quality undergraduate American Indian students, students from tribal colleges, and students from small colleges with limited resources. Recruitment efforts will focus on computer science and engineering students as well as students from environmental science and other related disciplines. This site is co-funded by the Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR).The intellectual merit of this project lies in strong research basis and the expertise of the faculty. The projects are in research areas that are current and address national priorities such as networking and sensor networks. The students participate in a full range of research activities from preparing research literature reviews to production and dissemination of research results. The project has the potential to add to the research base of networking systems. The broader impacts of the project include providing a quality research experience to undergraduate students, particularly students from underrepresented groups. The project team is committed to including 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.
