This award renews a highly successful CISE Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site at Harvey Mudd College. A team of computer science faculty mentors have designed a 10 week summer REU program in the broad area of computer systems. The summer research activity gives students a taste of the most compelling parts of a graduate school experience as well as an immersive experience in the field of computer science. The student research projects cover a breadth of areas in computing science. The students will gain experience in all aspects of the process of conducting research. The site will target students from 2-year schools and students early in their undergraduate studies. The faculty is committed to engaging students from groups traditionally under-represented in computing. The program features individual and group activities that create a strong common-cohort experience for students for whom the REU experience should be transformative. The program develops research ability, improves presentation and communications skills, and nurtures student interest in research-related careers.The intellectual merit of the project revolves around the variety of systems projects through which students will be exposed to all aspects of the research process. The research focus areas include text simplification, robotics, domain-specific programming languages and systems, and active transportation planning. Each project connects with the systems theme, building atop existing platforms, melding theory and practice, and implementing designs to mitigate complexity. The projects are designed to be accessible to students early in their undergraduate careers and share principles of low-cost and overhead, external accessibility of deliverables, and narrowness of focus. The students engage in projects that are exciting, current, and externally relevant and that have clear applications. Students actively pursue the entire research process including literature search, digesting prior work, formulating new problems, designing and conducting investigations, and preparing presentations and publications of results. The REU cohorts will regularly share their work with each other and meet daily with faculty mentors. The project activities will permit students to acquire valuable professional development skills, gain a broader and deeper understanding of research, and develop greater confidence in their abilities as future computing professionals and researchers.

该奖项为哈维·穆德学院（Harvey Mudd College）的本科生（REU）网站恢复了非常成功的CISE研究经验。一个计算机科学教师团队在计算机系统的广泛领域设计了一个为期10周的夏季REU计划。夏季研究活动使学生可以品尝研究生经验中最引人注目的部分以及计算机科学领域的身临其境的体验。学生研究项目涵盖了计算科学领域的广度。学生将在进行研究过程的各个方面获得经验。该网站将在本科学习的早期对2年学校和学生的学生定位。 该学院致力于吸引来自传统上代表性不足的群体的学生。该计划具有个人和小组活动，为REU体验具有变革性的学生创造了强大的共同体验。该计划发展了研究能力，提高了演示和沟通技巧，并培养了学生对研究相关职业的兴趣。该项目的智力优点围绕着各种系统项目，通过这些项目将使学生接触到研究过程的各个方面。研究重点领域包括文本简化，机器人技术，特定于领域的编程语言和系统以及积极的运输计划。每个项目都与系统主题联系，在现有平台上建立，融合理论和实践，并实施设计以减轻复杂性。 这些项目旨在在本科职业的早期学生就可以访问，并共享低成本和间接费用，可交付成果的外部可访问性以及焦点范围的原则。 学生们从事令人兴奋，当前和外部相关的项目，并且具有清晰的应用程序。学生积极追求整个研究过程，包括文献搜索，消化先前的工作，提出新问题，设计和进行调查以及准备结果的演示和出版物。 REU队列将定期与彼此分享他们的工作，并每天与教师导师会面。该项目活动将使学生能够获得宝贵的专业发展技巧，对研究的更广泛，更深入的了解，并对他们作为未来计算专业人员和研究人员的能力增强信心。
