This award is a renewal of a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site focused on secured sensor technologies at Florida International University. Undergraduates will work with faculty on research projects to explore new technologies and solutions utilizing sensor networking as well as software and hardware solutions essential to the advancement and practical proliferation of new technologies. The research theme includes a range of research projects in software-defined wireless sensor networks, privacy and security of sensor networks, local computation algorithms, mobile robots and self-configuring non-cooperative mobile sensors. The research theme presents a basic opportunity for undergraduates to get involved in research that combines intellectual merit and technical opportunities with a broad impact such as improving the quality of people's lives in health, homeland security and transportation. The objective of the program is to nurture students into computer and communications research fields through an intense, interdisciplinary, collaborative research environment and serves as an excellent opportunity for students to participate in many aspects of a scientific research program through a set of well-planned and focused activities that will ramp up student research skills and knowledge in emerging technologies. All activities ensure development of student-faculty and student-student communication to enhance and accelerate the students' research skills and learning in the field. The program will spark an interest in continuing relevant research careers. Successful impact of this project should build human capacity in computing and communications research and knowledge. Intellectual Merit: This project brings together fields of sensing, computing and communications to pioneer new core technologies along with supportive methods, architectures and tool-kits. This effort is based upon an existing and highly successful undergraduate research experience site where a diverse group of undergraduates learn how to conduct research and become better prepared to pursue graduate studies. The topics are timely and focus on emerging research.Broader Impact: The goal of this project is to build human capacity in computing and communications research and knowledge. The program will provide an unparalleled scientific and cross-cultural experience to motivated underrepresented undergraduate students. It aims to influence their choices about further education and future careers and continue to give them confidence to pursue these choices. With specific recruiting efforts that target underrepresented groups such as women, minorities and persons with disabilities, this REU program also aims to increase the size and diversity of the scientific workforce.

该奖项是对佛罗里达国际大学本科生研究经验（REU）网站的更新，该网站专注于安全传感器技术。本科生将与教师合作开展研究项目，探索利用传感器网络的新技术和解决方案，以及对新技术的进步和实际扩散至关重要的软件和硬件解决方案。研究主题包括一系列的研究项目，在软件定义的无线传感器网络，传感器网络的隐私和安全，本地计算算法，移动的机器人和自配置非合作移动的传感器。研究主题为本科生提供了一个基本的机会，让他们参与研究，将智力价值和技术机会与广泛的影响相结合，如提高人们在健康，国土安全和交通方面的生活质量。该计划的目标是培养学生进入计算机和通信研究领域，通过激烈的，跨学科的，协作的研究环境，并作为一个很好的机会，让学生通过一套精心策划和重点突出的活动，将学生的研究技能和知识，在新兴技术参与科研计划的许多方面。所有活动确保学生与教师和学生与学生沟通的发展，以提高和加速学生的研究技能和学习领域。该计划将激发继续相关研究事业的兴趣。这一项目的成功影响应能建设人在计算和通信研究和知识方面的能力。智力优势：该项目汇集了传感、计算和通信领域，沿着新的核心技术以及支持方法、架构和工具包。这一努力是基于现有的和非常成功的本科生研究经验网站，其中一个不同的本科生群体学习如何进行研究，并成为更好地准备追求研究生学习。更广泛的影响：该项目的目标是建立计算和通信研究和知识方面的人力资源能力。该计划将提供一个无与伦比的科学和跨文化的经验，积极代表性不足的本科生。它旨在影响他们对继续教育和未来职业的选择，并继续给予他们追求这些选择的信心。通过针对妇女，少数民族和残疾人等代表性不足的群体的具体招聘工作，该REU计划还旨在增加科学劳动力的规模和多样性。
