REU Site: Research Experience for Undegraduate in Computational Methods in High Performace Computing with Applications to Computer Science

该网站由国防部与NSF REU计划合作支持。该奖项为斯塔滕岛学院(纽约市立大学)一个为期三年的REU网站提供支持，该网站由CUNY高性能计算中心提供技术支持，该领域在全国日益重要：高性能计算中的计算方法与计算机科学的应用。REU网站招募了8名本科生，为期10周的暑期体验，他们与导师一起在计算机科学的不同研究子领域(例如，图论、网络可靠性、密码学、网络安全、无线自组织、传感器网络和复杂系统建模与仿真)承担具有挑战性的问题，这些领域需要解决并行处理编程技术。被选中的学生培养科研能力，提高口头陈述和写作技能。该计划旨在帮助学生产生重要的研究成果，并以可接受的格式在会议或期刊上发表。学生从提供有限或没有STEM研究机会的学院和大学招募，例如历史上少数族裔的学院和大学。重点是吸引少数民族和女学生。研究和技术活动与小组活动相结合，包括实地访问纽约大都会地区最先进的研究设施，由教员举办研讨会，以及加强小组多样性的社会活动。职业发展、计算机科学中的伦理问题、文献搜索、技术写作和研究生院咨询等研讨会是该计划不可或缺的一部分。该项目预计将吸引学生从事研究，并为他们提供智力和激励工具，让他们参与研究生学习，并在计算机科学或相关领域追求研究生涯。

The site is supported by the Department of Defense in partnership with the NSF REU program.The award provides support for a three-year REU Site at the College of Staten Island (City University of New York) with technical support from CUNY's High Performance Computing Center, in an area of increasing national importance: Computational Methods in High Performance Computing with Applications in Computer Science. The REU Site recruits eight undergraduate students, for a ten-week summer experience, who undertake challenging problems with their mentors, in different research sub-fields of computer science (e.g., Graph Theory, Network Reliability, Cryptography, Network Security, Wireless Ad-hoc, Sensor Networks, and Complex Systems Modeling and Simulation) that require parallel processing programming techniques to be solved. Selected students develop competency in scientific research, improve oral presentations and writing skills. The program is aimed to help students produce significant research results which are written up in a format acceptable for publication in either a conference or journal.Students are recruited from colleges and universities that offer limited or no STEM research opportunities, such as historically minority colleges and universities. Emphasis is placed on attracting minority and female students. Research and technical activities are integrated with group activities which include site visits to state-of-the art research facilities in the New York metropolitan area, seminars conducted by faculty, and social activities to enhance the diversity of the group. Seminars in career development, ethical issues in computer science, literature search, technical writing, and graduate school advisement, are integral parts of the program. The program is expected to draw students into research and provide them with the intellectual and motivational tools to engage them in graduate studies and pursue research careers in computer science or related fields.
