REU Site: Harvey Mudd REU Site in Computer Systems

该奖项更新了哈维穆德学院本科生（REU）网站非常成功的CISE研究经验。一组计算机科学教师导师设计了一个为期10周的夏季REU计划，在计算机系统的广泛领域。夏季研究活动让学生体验研究生院体验中最引人注目的部分，以及计算机科学领域的沉浸式体验。学生的研究项目涵盖了计算机科学的广泛领域。学生将获得在进行研究的过程中的各个方面的经验。该网站将针对2年制学校的学生和本科学习初期的学生。 该学院致力于吸引来自传统上在计算领域代表性不足的群体的学生。该计划的特点是个人和团体活动，为学生创造一个强大的共同群体的经验，对他们来说，REU的经验应该是变革性的。该计划发展研究能力，提高演讲和沟通技巧，培养学生对研究相关职业的兴趣。该项目的智力价值围绕着各种系统项目，通过这些项目，学生将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，特定领域的编程语言和系统，以及积极的交通规划。每个项目都与系统主题相联系，在现有平台上构建，融合理论和实践，并实施设计以降低复杂性。 这些项目旨在让学生在本科生涯的早期就可以访问，并分享低成本和开销，可交付成果的外部可访问性以及焦点狭窄的原则。 学生从事的项目是令人兴奋的，当前的，与外部相关的，并有明确的应用程序。学生积极追求整个研究过程，包括文献检索，消化以前的工作，制定新的问题，设计和进行调查，并准备成果的演示和出版物。 REU的同龄人将定期相互分享他们的工作，并每天与教师导师见面。项目活动将使学生获得宝贵的专业发展技能，获得更广泛和更深入的研究理解，并培养他们作为未来计算专业人员和研究人员的能力更大的信心。

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.
