REU Site Enhancing Undergraduate Research

项目摘要

This award establishes a new Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site at Wichita State University. The REU Site will host undergraduate students from across the nation to conduct research during the summer with faculty mentors on networked cyber-physical systems. Cyber-physical systems are engineered systems that are built from and depend on the seamless integration of computational algorithms and physical components. Cyber-physical systems often present significant communications and networking challenges due to the complex, real-world environments in which the devices are expected to operate. The environments are diverse and range from operating underwater to flying in the air. They could involve use in manufacturing facilities or simple use as personal devices. The project plans to recruit a diverse cohort of undergraduate students each summer, including students from groups traditionally under-represented in computing. In addition to their research activities, the students will participate in other professional development activities that will prepare them for entering the computing workforce and for possible futures as researchers.The REU site is led by faculty mentors from the computer networking group within the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Wichita State University. The affiliated research laboratories provide students with opportunities to use state-of-the-art equipment and facilities to explore topics that are current and timely with faculty mentors who have significant experience and expertise in the area of networked cyber-physical systems. Realizing networked cyber-physical systems presents a rich set of research problems in areas such as indoor and outdoor positioning and localization, wireless communications and networking, security and privacy, cloud computing, mobile and wearable computing, and data analytics. The goals of the project are to advance the technical field of networked cyber-physical systems while simultaneously preparing the next generation of graduate students and workforce participants. This project is jointly funded by the Directorate for Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) and the Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR).

该奖项在威奇托州立大学建立了一个新的本科生研究经验（REU）网站。REU网站将接待来自全国各地的本科生，在夏季与教师导师一起进行网络网络物理系统的研究。信息物理系统是由计算算法和物理组件的无缝集成而建立并依赖于它们的工程系统。由于设备要在复杂的现实环境中运行，网络物理系统通常会面临重大的通信和网络挑战。环境是多种多样的，从水下操作到空中飞行。它们可以用于生产设施，也可以简单地用作个人设备。该项目计划每年夏天招收一批不同的本科生，包括来自传统上在计算机领域代表性不足的群体的学生。除了他们的研究活动，学生们还将参加其他专业发展活动，这些活动将为他们进入计算机行业和未来可能成为研究人员做好准备。REU网站由威奇托州立大学电气工程和计算机科学系计算机网络组的教师导师领导。附属的研究实验室为学生提供了使用最先进的设备和设施的机会，与在网络网络物理系统领域具有丰富经验和专业知识的教师导师一起探索当前和及时的主题。实现网络化的信息物理系统在室内和室外定位和定位、无线通信和网络、安全与隐私、云计算、移动和可穿戴计算以及数据分析等领域提出了丰富的研究问题。该项目的目标是推进网络信息物理系统的技术领域，同时为下一代研究生和劳动力参与者做好准备。该项目由计算机和信息科学与工程理事会（CISE）和刺激竞争性研究实验计划（EPSCoR）共同资助。
