SPIRE-EIT (Summer Program for Interdisciplinary Research and Education - Emerging Interface Technologies) at Iowa State University is a 10-week interdisciplinary summer experience for 10 undergraduates that integrates research and education in emerging interface technologies with a personal, life-changing experience for participants. Students' personal transformations since 2006 have been a dramatic and consistent result alongside research publications. Students are provided with classroom training and gain hands-on experience using cutting-edge instruments, equipment, computers and cyberinfrastructure. Classes in computer programming and graphics, interface design, human-computer interaction, research skills, team skills, and ethics occupy approximately 35% of the students' time. In an unusual structure that is focused on building a community of practice, students conduct interdisciplinary research projects in groups of two or three, with all students co-located in the Virtual Reality Applications Center (VRAC). Each group interacts with VRAC graduate students under the supervision of VRAC faculty. The research projects are presented at an end-of-the summer campus-wide research symposium in the form of posters, demos, and a five-page research paper. Frequently the students present their research at research conferences later during the school year. Two major trends are driving research in Emerging Interface Technologies: a dramatic increase of interface technologies themselves, and the ubiquitous permeation of technology into our everyday lives. Correspondingly, this research focuses on new interfaces that enhance people's perception, understanding, and performance. The SPIRE exposes students to four broad areas of EIT: information visualization, mobile/ubiquitous interfaces, intelligent agents, and enabling cyberinfrastructure.

SPIRE-EIT（跨学科研究和教育暑期课程-新兴接口技术）在爱荷华州州立大学是一个为期10周的跨学科的夏季经验，为10名本科生，集成了研究和教育新兴接口技术与个人，改变生活的经验参与者。自2006年以来，学生的个人转变一直是一个戏剧性的和一致的结果，以及研究出版物。学生提供课堂培训，并获得使用尖端仪器，设备，计算机和网络基础设施的实践经验。计算机编程和图形，界面设计，人机交互，研究技能，团队技能和道德等课程约占学生时间的35%。在一个专注于建立实践社区的不寻常结构中，学生以两三人为一组进行跨学科研究项目，所有学生都位于虚拟现实应用中心（VRAC）。每个小组在VRAC教师的监督下与VRAC研究生互动。研究项目在夏季校园范围内的研究研讨会结束时以海报，演示和五页研究论文的形式呈现。学生们经常在学年晚些时候的研究会议上展示他们的研究。两个主要趋势正在推动新兴界面技术的研究：界面技术本身的急剧增加，以及技术无处不在地渗透到我们的日常生活中。相应地，这项研究的重点是新的界面，提高人们的感知，理解和性能。SPIRE让学生接触到EIT的四个广泛领域：信息可视化，移动的/无处不在的接口，智能代理和启用网络基础设施。有关REU网站的更多信息，请访问SPIRE-EIT网站：http://www.vrac.iastate.edu/hci/reu/。
