Proposal to Establish an REU Site in Computer and Information Science and Engineering at Caltech

本科生的研究经验将通过 加州理工学院夏季本科生研究奖学金（SURF）计划。 的 SURF方案于1979年启动，从1979年至1987年有621名学生 参与研究项目。在10周期间， 夏季学生将参加技术研讨会，圆桌会议 讨论和交流讲习班。 十名学生将从研究机构中选出， 机会可能相对有限，包括历史黑人 机构（HBU）。 与亚特兰大大学中心的联系， 霍华德大学、杰克逊州立大学和莫尔豪斯大学 已经建立。 本科研究经验将包括开发新的 用于超立方体的算法或科学代码和系统软件， 以及内部硬件开发项目。 我们强烈建议为这项有价值的项目提供39，500美元的奖励 根据REU计划。

Research experiences for undergraduates will be offered through the Caltech Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) program. The SURF program was started in 1979 and from 1979-1987 621 students participated in research projects. During the 10-week period in the summer the students will participate in technical seminars, roundtable discussions and communications workshops. Ten students will be selected from institutions where research opportunities may be relatively limited including Historically Black Institutions (HBUs). Contacts with the Atlanta University Center, Howard University, Jackson State Univeristy, and Morehouse University have already been established. Undergraduate research experiences will include developing new algorithms or scientific codes and systems software for the hypocube, and working within-house hardware development projects. An award of $39,500 is highly recommended for this meritorious project under the REU programs.
