This funding renews a long-running and highly-successful CISE ResearchExperiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at DePauw University. Thesite exposes students to a range of topics in Computer Science, includingpen-based computing, computer-supported cooperative work, assistivetechnology, natural language processing, functional programminglanguages, wireless sensor networks, programming pedagogy, parallelprogramming, and virtual reality. Students will work in small teamswith a mentor and will experience conducting research as part of a team,disseminating research results, and participating in a community ofscholars.This REU site will allow 24 students (over three years) to experienceresearch in a variety of areas in Computer Science. The site focuseson recruiting students from undergraduate-only institutions, who do nothave as ready access to research opportunities as students at researchuniversities. The site?s primary objective is to encourage talentedstudents enrolled at undergraduate institutions to pursue graduatestudies and research careers in Computer Science.
