REU Sites: An Undergraduate Research Participation Program in Computer Science

霍普学院计算机科学REU项目旨在为有前途的本科生提供密集而有意义的研究经验，鼓励他们考虑从事计算机科学研究。我们的目标是让学生接触计算机科学研究的技术、态度和回报，并通过与教师导师在重大项目上的密切合作，为追求这样的职业提供鼓励和方向。广泛招收符合条件的女性和少数民族学生。每年，在目前计算机科学本科研究项目基础设施不足的地方，将选择一个合作本科院校。来自合作机构的一名教员将被邀请参加该项目，与希望学院的三到四名教员一起担任研究导师。此外，来自合作院校的两名学生将与来自希望学院的三名学生和其他院校的三名学生一起作为学生参与者。学生参与者将住在霍普学院校园，每周至少花40个小时进行研究活动，为期10周。每位参与者将与教师导师密切合作，并获得霍普学院计算机科学网络工作站的独家使用权。交流技巧的发展将通过让参与者在夏季研讨会、下一学年在其本国机构以及在区域或国家会议上介绍他们的成果来强调。此外，参与者将准备一份研究报告和一张描述他们工作的在线海报。

EIA 0097464Dershem, HerbertHope CollegeREU Sites: An Undergraduate Research Participation Program in Computer Science The Hope College REU program in Computer Science is designed to provide promising undergraduates with an intensive and meaningful research experience that will encourage them to consider a career in computer science research. Our goal is to expose students to the techniques, attitudes, and rewards of computer science research and to provide encouragement and direction in the pursuit of such a career through close collaboration with a faculty mentor on a significant project. We will make extensive efforts to include qualified female and minority group students among the participants. Each year a partner undergraduate institution will be selected where there is presently insufficient infrastructure for a strong undergraduate research program in computer science. One faculty member from the partner institution will be invited to participate in this program, joining three or four Hope College faculty members as research mentors. In addition, two students from the partner institution will join three Hope College students and three students from other institutions as student participants. The student participants will reside on the Hope College campus, spending a minimum of 40 hours per week on research activities for a 10 week period. Each participant will work in close collaboration with a faculty mentor and be given exclusive use of a workstation on the Hope College Computer Science network. The development of communication skills will be emphasized by having participants present their results during summer seminars, at their home institution during the following academic year, and at a regional or national conference. In addition, the participants will prepare a research report and an online poster describing their work.
