This project is for a new Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site at Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT). It will provide 10 undergraduate students with the opportunity to conduct research for 10 weeks with faculty members in an increasingly growing field of software engineering. A nationwide recruitment process will be used to select cohorts of undergraduate students. The key goal is to target underrepresented groups (women, minorities, and persons with disabilities), first generation college students, and students from undergraduate institutions with limited research opportunities. In addition to conducting research, the students will participate in other professional development activities such as industry field trips, professional seminars, invited speaker series, career guidance, and graduate school preparation. Thus, the project will inspire the students to pursue advanced degree programs and research career in computer science. Finally, software systems have become the critical infrastructure of the society and are increasingly important to national interests including health, energy, cybersecurity, and so on. The project will prepare a large pool of individuals trained in the field of software engineering to address the increasing national needs.The 10 talented undergraduate students will work in small teams on carefully planned research experiences. The project focuses on three main themes, Developers' Productivity, Communication and Collaboration, and Design and Creativity, and spans the entire software development life cycle. The planned research projects will focus on (1) the development of novel software engineering tools and techniques for assisting developers in daily activities, enhancing productivity; (2) human and social aspects of software development, particularly, the interaction among software development team members and how those interactions improve teamwork; and (3) innovation in every aspect of software engineering, including envisioning products, eliciting requirements, analyzing requirements, and designing software systems that satisfy specified requirements and quality attributes. The project will encourage the students to disseminate their research findings through presenting and publishing in peer-reviewed venues.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该项目是针对罗切斯特理工学院（RIT）的本科生（REU）网站的新研究经验。它将为10名本科生提供与越来越不断增长的软件工程领域的教职员工进行10周研究的机会。全国范围内的招聘过程将用于选择本科生。关键目标是针对代表性不足的群体（妇女，少数民族和残疾人），第一代大学生以及来自本科机构的学生的研究机会有限。除了进行研究外，学生还将参加其他专业发展活动，例如行业实地考察，专业研讨会，受邀演讲者系列，职业指导和研究生院的准备。因此，该项目将激发学生从事计算机科学领域的高级学位课程和研究职业。最后，软件系统已成为社会的关键基础设施，并且对包括健康，能源，网络安全等国家利益变得越来越重要。该项目将准备大量在软件工程领域接受培训的人，以满足日益增长的国家需求。这10名才华横溢的本科生将在小型团队中为精心计划的研究经验而工作。该项目着重于三个主要主题：开发人员的生产力，沟通和协作以及设计和创造力，并跨越整个软件开发生命周期。计划的研究项目将重点介绍（1）开发新颖的软件工程工具和技术，以帮助开发人员进行日常活动，提高生产力； （2）软件开发的人类和社会方面，特别是软件开发团队成员之间的互动以及这些互动如何改善团队合作； （3）在软件工程的各个方面的创新，包括设想产品，引起要求，分析要求以及满足指定要求和质量属性的软件系统。该项目将鼓励学生通过在同行评审的场地上介绍和出版来传播他们的研究结果。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响审查标准，认为值得通过评估来获得支持。
