This award will help create a new I/UCRC Site at University of Mississippi (UM) to join an existing IUCRC called BWAC (Broadband Wireless access and Applications Center) led by University of Arizona which started in July 2013. The UM site extends the scope of BWAC in the areas of computational electromagnetics (EM), antenna design and testing, and telecommunications. This Site will add two of the largest industries in the wireless space, Qualcomm and Intel, to the BWAC Industrial Advisory Board. The BWAC site will help recruit diverse and promising undergraduate and graduate students into electrical engineering undergraduate and graduate programs at UM. By engaging them directly in research on problems of actual interest to corporate partners, BWAC will help prepare these students to compete and be productive in corporate jobs the day they graduate.This project will bring to bear UM research capabilities and real-world industry interest in areas that align with the focus of BWAC. The UM faculty have identified potential industry-oriented research in the areas of metamaterials for antenna cloaking, mmWave antennas, wireless signaling from embedded sensors for concussion management in college athletic sports, fountain codes for big data transfers, cognitive radios and radar systems. Other possible applications areas include, wireless connectivity for improved efficiency in factory, new wireless security algorithms, applications of wireless sensor networks, and telemedicine.

该奖项将帮助在密西西比大学（UM）创建一个新的I/UCRC站点，以加入由亚利桑那大学领导的名为BWAC（宽带无线接入和应用中心）的现有IUCRC，该中心于2013年7月开始。UM网站扩展了BWAC在计算电磁学（EM），天线设计和测试以及电信领域的范围。该网站将把无线领域最大的两个行业高通公司和英特尔公司加入BWAC工业顾问委员会。该BWAC网站将有助于招募不同的和有前途的本科生和研究生进入电机工程本科和研究生课程在UM。通过让他们直接参与对企业合作伙伴实际感兴趣的问题的研究，BWAC将帮助这些学生做好准备，以便在毕业的那一天在企业工作中竞争和富有成效。这个项目将在与BWAC的重点一致的领域中发挥UM的研究能力和现实世界的行业兴趣。UM教师已经确定了潜在的面向行业的研究领域的超材料天线隐身，毫米波天线，无线信号从嵌入式传感器的冲击管理在大学体育运动，喷泉代码大数据传输，认知无线电和雷达系统。其他可能的应用领域包括：用于提高工厂效率的无线连接、新的无线安全算法、无线传感器网络的应用以及远程医疗。
