REU: Summer Undergraduate Program in Engineering Research at Berkeley (SUPERB)-Network Technologies

该奖项为加州大学伯克利分校一个为期5年的REU项目提供资金，该项目名为“伯克利工程研究暑期本科项目(SUPERB)-网络技术”，由Jan Rabaey博士指导。这个为期8周的暑期项目将为来自不同背景的6名本科生提供一次刺激的研究经历，由教师和高级研究生指导。每个学生都将与一名从事新兴网络技术（如网络、无线通信、微机电系统（MEMS）和集成电路）工作的教员进行仔细匹配。学生将在整个课程中使用最先进的计算机和网络设备。学生们将参加每周一次的会议，在那里他们将与教师会面，了解更多关于他们项目的研究重点，并听取有关如何提高沟通技巧和申请研究生院的讨论。该项目的评估计划要求在参与者离开项目后对其进行系统跟踪，并评估教育成果以及对主办机构的更广泛影响。

This award provides funding to the University of California-Berkeley for a 5 year REU Site Program entitled, "Summer Undergraduate Program in Engineering Research at Berkely (SUPERB)-Network Technologies," under the direction of Dr. Jan Rabaey. This 8-week summer program will provide 6 undergraduate students from diverse backgrounds a stimulating research experience with mentoring by faculty and senior graduate students. Each student will be carefully matched with a faculty member, working in emerging Networking Technologies such as networking, wireless communications, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), and integrated circuits. The students will have access to state-of-the-art computing and networking equipment throughout the program. The students will attend weekly meetings where they will meet with faculty to learn more about the research focus of their projectsand to hear talks on how to improve communications skills and apply to graduate school. The evaluation plan for this project calls for systematic tracking of participants after they leave the program, and the assessment of both educational outcomes as well as the broader effect on the host institution.
