Research Experience in Information Systems and Electrophysics for Undergraduates

摘要理工大学正在为一项正在进行的研究项目寻求持续的资助，该项目在11年里一直在培训电气工程和计算机科学专业的学生，在他们大四之前的夏天学习信息系统和电物理。学生将从其他各种学校招募，包括主要的本科院校，这些院校不是研究密集型的。大约50%-75%的学生将就读于理工学院以外的学校，为丰富的思想交流提供机会。将尽一切努力吸引至少40%的少数民族和女学生参加。增加一名女教员——王瑶教授（Yao Wang），将有助于招募更多的女性实习生，并尽早宣布实习奖励，将有助于吸引优秀的少数族裔学生，这些学生受到许多其他学术和工业暑期项目的大力追捧。由其他来源资助的额外本科生将丰富研究环境。每个参与者将与个别教师导师定期会面，以计划工作并审查整个十一周计划的进展。信息系统的课题将包括图像通信、超大规模集成电路、多变量反馈控制、无线信息网络、机器人、缓存存储器和控制系统。电物理的专题将包括微波等离子体相互作用、计算电物理、电力系统和磁悬浮。所有人都将受益于与参与的教师和研究生的广泛互动。参加者将有机会参观我们在布鲁克林和法明代尔校区的研究实验室。届时将有两到三场研讨会，由工业界、大学或政府机构的领导人向与会者作报告。参观将安排在附近的工业实验室或国家实验室。该计划将以为期两天的研究回顾结束，在此期间，每位学生将做20分钟的正式报告并回答问题。所有参与者都需要提交一份专业水平的正式最终书面报告。最佳项目将获得奖金。* * *

9619749 Cassara ABSTRACT Polytechnic University seeks continuing funding for an ongoing research program that for eleven years has been training electrical engineering and computer science students during the summer before their senior years in the area of information systems and electrophysics. Students will be recruited from a variety of other schools, including primarily undergraduate institutions which are not research intensive. Approximately 50%-75% will be students enrolled at schools other than polytechnic to provide an opportunity for a rich interchange of ideas. Every effort will be made to attract at least 40% of participants from the minority and women student body. The addition of a female faculty member as Co-PI, Professor Yao Wang, will help with recruitment of additional women interns and early announcement of internship awards will help attract top minority students who are heavily courted by many other academic and industrial summer programs. The research environment will be enriched by additional undergraduate students funded from other sources. Each participant will have regular meeting with an individual faculty mentor to plan work and review progress throughout the eleven week program. Project topics in Information Systems will include image communication, VLSI, multivariable feedback control, wireless information networks, robotics, cache memories, and control systems. Project topics in electrophysics will include microwave-plasma interaction, computational electrophysics, power systems and magnetic levitation. All will benefit from extensive interactions with participating faculty and graduate students. Participants will have informative tours of our research laboratories at both the Brooklyn and Farmingdale campuses. There will be two or three seminar presentations to the group by leaders from industry, universities or government agencies. A tour will be arranged at a nearby industrial lab or National Laboratory. The program will terminate with a two- day research review during which each student will make a 20 minute formal presentation and answer questions. A formal final written report of professional quality will be required of all participants. A monetary prize will be awarded to the best project. ***
