REU Site: Integrative Computational Education and Research Traineeship

综合计算教育与研究实习（ICERT） REU的目标是增加完成科学计算学士学位的STEM专业学生的数量，并增加进入科学计算研究生课程的参与者数量。ICERT吸引了各种各样的学生从事计算科学和工程方面的职业，并使他们能够将发现转化为对社会有益的创新。ICERT REU采用成功的NSF综合研究生教育和研究培训（IGERT）的培训实践，为参与者提供计算，解决问题，创造力和沟通技巧，这些技能是未来全球变革科学和工程研究的领导者所需要的。项目活动包括为期一周的暑期科学计算入门课程、学术部门研究小组的研究项目或任务、指定为导师教练的研究小组研究生的导师学院、展示德克萨斯高级计算中心（TACC）网络基础设施支持的当前计算研究的应用研讨会、交流科学研讨会、关于将发现转化为造福社会的创新的研讨会，由教师/研究生导师/本科生proteìgeì组成的三合一指导，以及最后的演讲。其影响将是在多个科学和工程领域准备进行计算研究的学生人数的增加，这些研究将导致刺激经济和提高生活质量的发现和创新。ICERT将扩大未被充分代表的本科生在多个计算科学和工程领域的参与。参加导师三人组的研究生将获得指导、教学和培训来自弱势群体的学生的经验，为他们作为教师的职业生涯做好准备，使弱势群体的本科生和研究生参与研究和教育的整合。

The Integrative Computational Education and Research Traineeship(ICERT) REU objectives are to increase the number of STEM majors completing the baccalaureate with a scientific computation emphasis and increase the number of participants entering a graduate program with a scientific computation emphasis. The ICERT attracts a diverse pool of students to careers in computational science and engineering and prepares them to be able to turn discoveries into innovations for societal good. The ICERT REU adopts training practices from the successful NSF Integrated Graduate Education and Research Traineeship (IGERT) to provide participants with the computational, problem-solving, creativity, and communication skills needed to be future global leaders in transformational science and engineering research. The project activities include an introductory week-long summer institute on scientific computation, a research project or assignment in an academic department research group, a mentor institute for research group graduate students designated as mentor coaches, applications seminars demonstrating current computational research enabled by the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) cyberinfrastructure, seminars on communicating science, seminars on turning discoveries into innovations that benefit society, mentoring in a triad of faculty/graduate mentor/undergraduate proteìgeì, and a final presentation. The impact will be increased numbers of students in multiple science and engineering domains prepared to conduct computational research that will lead to discoveries and innovations that stimulate economies and improve the quality of life. The ICERT will broaden the participation of undergraduate underrepresented populations in multiple computational science and engineering domains. Graduate students participating in the mentoring triad will gain experience mentoring, teaching and training students from underrepresented populations, preparing them for careers as faculty who can involve underrepresented undergraduate and graduate students in the integration of research and education.
