This site is co-funded by the Department of Defense in partnership with the NSF REU program. This funding renews a CISE Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site at Auburn University focused on smart unmanned aerial vehicles (smart UAVs). The students design algorithms and techniques to safely, securely, and efficiently fly in a limited field a fleet of autonomous UAVs. A nationwide recruitment process is used to select cohorts of undergraduate students to participate in an eight-week summer research program at the host institution. Particular emphasis is placed on recruitment of students from under-represented populations. 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 intellectual merit of this project lies in strong research basis and the expertise of the faculty. The projects are in current research areas that are of interest to the community at large and that have clear practical applications. The students participate in a full range of research activities from preparing research literature reviews to production and dissemination of research results. The broader impacts of the project include providing a quality research experience to undergraduate students, particularly students from underrepresented groups. The participating faculty members are 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.

该站点由国防部与NSF REU计划合作共同资助。这笔资金恢复了奥本大学的本科生（REU）网站的CISE研究经验，重点是智能无人驾驶汽车（智能无人机）。学生们设计算法和技术，以安全，安全和有效地在有限的领域中飞行。全国范围内的招聘过程用于选择本科生的群体来参加主办机构为期八周的夏季研究计划。特别强调来自代表性不足人群的学生的招募。该项目包括经验丰富的计算机科学教职员工，技术研讨会和讲习班，学生演讲以及实地考察以及其他专业发展机会的指导。 该项目的智力优点在于强大的研究基础和教师的专业知识。这些项目位于当前社区感兴趣的研究领域，并且具有明确的实际应用。学生们参加了从准备研究文献评论到生产和研究结果传播的全部研究活动。该项目的更广泛影响包括为本科生，尤其是来自代表性不足的学生的学生提供优质的研究经验。参与的教职员工致力于将代表性不足的少数民族学生包括在他们的研究中。 因此，该项目有可能培养新的计算机科学研究生和教职员工，并在促进学习时提高发现和理解。
