Oakland University (OU) will renew their Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site that has been hosted in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering for over two decades. Each summer, undergraduate students from across the nation will work on challenging research problems related to cybersecurity and artificial intelligence (AI), an area of national priority for our nation. These undergraduate students will spend 10 summer weeks on campus where they are immersed in a research environment with all its facets: participating actively in shaping the research project and in defining its solution; communicating to peers and other audiences about their progress and their findings; visiting research laboratories and attending presentations about all aspects of research and research careers. The team will continue to use successful strategies employed in past REU Sites to recruit undergraduate students from groups traditionally under-represented in computer science. A particular focus will be on recruiting women, and students from groups that are under-represented in computing, as well as students from institutions where there are limited research opportunities. The goal is to contribute to the development of a diverse scientific workforce with expertise in areas critical to national security in the evolving global society of the future.This REU (UnCoRe-CyberAI) site will allow students to work with researchers and contribute to the evolving landscape of cybersecurity and modern AI in transportation technology, medicine and data science, the interdisciplinary nature of human-AI interaction, the convergence of cutting-edge AI and national security for DoD bases, and core software security. Ultimately, the goal is to contribute to developing a diverse, internationally competitive, and globally engaged science and engineering workforce, which is one of the NSF priorities. The project will engage 30 participants (many of them are women or URMs and from institutions with limited research activity in STEM) in research experiences that will motivate them to pursue careers in science and engineering, particularly Cybersecurity and AI. The REU students will be better prepared for graduate studies and engineering. Further, research and programmatic results will be disseminated in conferences and through peer-reviewed articles.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.

奥克兰大学（OU）（OU）将续签其本科生（REU）网站的研究经验，该网站已在计算机科学和工程系中托管了二十年多。每年夏天，来自全国各地的本科生都会致力于挑战与网络安全和人工智能（AI）有关的研究问题，这是我们国家的国家优先领域。 这些本科生将在校园里度过10个夏季，在那里他们沉浸在其各个方面的研究环境中：积极参与研究研究项目并定义其解决方案；向同龄人和其他受众沟通他们的进步和发现；参观研究实验室并参加有关研究和研究职业各个方面的演讲。 该团队将继续使用过去的REU站点中使用的成功策略来招募传统上代表计算机科学代表不足的团体的本科生。一个特别的重点将是招募妇女，以及来自计算中代表不足的团体以及来自研究机会有限的机构的学生。目的是为发展多样化的科学劳动力的发展做出贡献，并在不断发展的全球社会中对国家安全至关重要的领域进行专业知识。这个REU（UNCORE-CYBERAI）站点将使学生能够与研究人员合作，并为网络安全和现代AI在运输技术和数据科学方面的跨性别和现代AI的跨性别和现代AI的构成人类互动 - 人类跨性别的环境而发展的环境贡献 - DOD基础和核心软件安全性。 最终，目标是为发展NSF的优先事项之一，为发展多样化，国际竞争和全球参与的科学和工程劳动力做出贡献。该项目将与30名参与者（其中许多是妇女或URMS，以及来自STEM研究活动有限的机构）参与研究经验，这将促使他们从事科学和工程领域的职业，尤其是网络安全和AI。 REU学生将为研究生学习和工程做好准备。此外，研究和程序化结果将在会议和同行评审的文章中传播。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，被认为值得通过评估来获得支持。
