Providing young college students an opportunity to function as researchers on projects that are current, relevant, and interesting can have a profound positive influence on their desire to pursue a career in a STEM related field. With support from the NSF Division of Engineering Education and Centers, the Interdisciplinary Research Experience in Electrical and Computer Engineering (IREECE) Program at Oakland University will provide an engaging research experience for thirty undergraduate students over the next three years, with special focus on females and minorities. The students will engage in active projects that include biomedical research studying the effects of sleep apnea on canines, studying how to better image the human heart using X-rays, mimicking the visual system of the common house fly, developing MEMS sensors for autonomous robots, and learning about electromagnetics vehicular antenna designs. With close mentoring from faculty, the students will gain valuable skills in contributing to successful research, teamwork, communication, and dissemination of their work through technical conferences. Participants will also learn about the possibilities and the impact of engineering on our lives through close interaction with faculty, research staff, and industry collaborators in the Metro Detroit Area.

为年轻大学生提供在当前、相关且有趣的项目中担任研究人员的机会，可以对他们在 STEM 相关领域追求职业的愿望产生深远的积极影响。在 NSF 工程教育和中心部门的支持下，奥克兰大学的电气与计算机工程跨学科研究体验 (IREECE) 项目将在未来三年内为 30 名本科生提供引人入胜的研究体验，特别关注女性和少数族裔。学生们将参与积极的项目，包括研究睡眠呼吸暂停对犬类的影响的生物医学研究、研究如何使用 X 射线更好地对人类心脏进行成像、模仿常见家蝇的视觉系统、开发用于自主机器人的 MEMS 传感器以及学习电磁车载天线设计。在教师的密切指导下，学生将获得宝贵的技能，通过技术会议为成功的研究、团队合作、沟通和传播他们的工作做出贡献。参与者还将通过与底特律都会区的教师、研究人员和行业合作者的密切互动，了解工程对我们生活的可能性和影响。
