REU Site: Interactive and Intelligent Media

北卡罗莱纳州立大学的智能和互动媒体（IIM） REU网站将不同的本科生群体沉浸在一个充满活力的研究社区中，研究前沿的互动和智能媒体，包括严肃游戏和游戏技术，界面，视觉体验和自然语言对话。北卡州立大学的IIM REU招生范围广泛，但重点是为来自代表性不足的群体和研究机会有限的学院和大学的学生提供机会，接触到通常不接触研究的学生。IIM REU聘请教师和研究生导师与本科生合作，创造一种支持性的合作文化，同时通过整个夏季对导师和学生的及时培训，促进个人对研究的贡献。REU学生在本科研究竞赛中展示他们的工作，制作视频向K-12学生传达他们的研究，并鼓励他们提交技术论文作为同行评审的出版物。该网站在研究技能和指导方面进行了明确的培训，通过亲和研究小组模式支持不同背景的学生，并与STARS联盟（http://starsalliance.org）合作和整合，从代表性不足的群体中招募学生，这为激励学生参加计算机研究生课程创造了巨大的潜力。该项目侧重于相关的尖端互动技术，这一重点已得到证实，可以提高少数民族和妇女的留用率。REU的学生成为STARS计算队的一员，这是一个致力于扩大计算机参与的计算领导联盟，为REU的学生提供通过STARS获得优秀指导和网络资源的机会，同时也让他们有机会将他们在REU的经验扩展到学年。智能和互动媒体REU网站（http://research.csc.ncsu.edu/iim-reu/）为学生、教育工作者和研究人员提供了更多信息。

The Intelligent and Interactive Media (IIM) REU Site at North Carolina State University immerses a diverse group of undergraduates in a vibrant research community working on cutting-edge interactive and intelligent media including serious games and game technologies, interfaces, visual experiences, and natural language dialogue. The IIM REU at NC State recruits broadly, but focuses on providing opportunities for students from underrepresented groups, and from colleges and universities with limited research opportunities, reaching students not typically exposed to research. The IIM REU engages faculty and graduate student mentors with undergraduates to create a supportive culture of collaboration while promoting individual contributions to research through just-in-time training for both mentors and students throughout the summer. REU students present their work at an undergraduate research competition, develop videos to convey their research to K-12 students, and are encouraged to submit their technical papers as peer reviewed publications.The Site's explicit training in research skills and mentoring to support students with diverse backgrounds through the Affinity Research Groups model, and its engagement and integration with the STARS Alliance (http://starsalliance.org) to recruit students from underrepresented groups, creates great potential to inspire students to enroll in computing graduate programs. The project's focus on relevant cutting edge interactive technologies is a proven focus that can improve retention for minorities and women. REU students become part of the STARS Computing Corps, a computing leadership consortium dedicated to broadening participation in computing, providing REU students access to excellent mentoring and networking resources through STARS while also giving them the chance to extend their REU experiences into the academic year.The Intelligent and Interactive Media REU website (http://research.csc.ncsu.edu/iim-reu/) provides additional information to students, educators and researchers.
