REU Site: Arctic and Antarctic Project (AaA-REU) with Research Experience for Teachers (RET) Component

REU网站：北极和南极CReSIS（AaA-REU）计划将在三年内招收75名本科生，每年招收5名服务前RET学生。该项目是自2010年以来在伊丽莎白城州立大学和其他CReSIS（冰盖遥感中心）机构运作的REU站点计划的延续。该网站由国防部与NSF REU计划共同资助。 该项目的愿景是由迫切需要利用极地研究和教育的整合来吸引多元化的有才华的学生进入极地相关的职业。 AaA-REU项目的重点将是跨学科的，并将对网络基础设施进行创新和具有成本效益的利用。该项目建立在极地科学，工程，教育和网络基础设施的现有合作伙伴关系的基础上-在经验丰富的教育工作者和研究人员团队的指导下，这些合作伙伴关系提供了广泛的CReSIS资源。预计参与者的人口统计数据将反映在过去的CReSIS-REU奖期间实现的令人兴奋的少数民族百分比。

The REU Site: Arctic and Antarctic CReSIS (AaA-REU) program will involve 75 undergraduates over a three-year period with five pre-service RET students each year. This project is a continuation of the REU Site program that has operated at Elizabeth City State University and other CReSIS (Center for Remote Sensing of the Ice Sheets) institutions since 2010. The site is co-funded by the Department of Defense in partnership with the NSF REU program. The vision for this project is driven by the compelling need to draw on the integration of polar research and education to attract a diverse pool of talented students into polar-related careers. The AaA-REU project will be interdisciplinary in focus and will make innovative, cost-effective use of cyberinfrastructure. The project builds upon existing partnerships in polar science, engineering, education, and cyberinfrastructure -- partnerships that provide access to extensive CReSIS resources under the direction of an experienced team of educators and researchers. It is expected that the demographics of the participants will reflect the exciting minority percentages that were realized during the past CReSIS-REU award.
