REU SITE: Alaska Research Summer Challenge at the Arctic Region Supercomputing Center of the University of Alaska Fairbanks

阿拉斯加大学费尔班克斯分校北极地区超级计算中心的阿拉斯加研究夏季挑战赛。阿拉斯加研究夏季挑战赛是由阿拉斯加费尔班克斯大学（UAF）北极地区超级计算中心（ARSC）提供的一个实习项目。该项目允许最多10名本科生在计算机科学、超级计算和可视化领域进行研究。这项少数族裔外展计划主要面向来自少数族裔院校的学生开放，少数族裔申请人优先考虑。招聘由目标院校现场招聘完成。ARSC将我们的工作重点放在这些群体上，因为他们在科学和研究领域的代表性传统上不足。有了实习生的投入，每个参与者都被分配一个与他们的研究领域相关的项目，在教师或高级职员的直接监督下完成。学生们平均在费尔班克斯待10周，与其他小组的本科生实习生一起住在校园宿舍里，平均每周工作40个小时来完成他们的项目。在项目经理的监督下，他们独立工作，在研究小组中工作，与其他实习生住在一起，获得新的工作和学习技能，并建立更强的自信感。项目经理要确保每个参与者都完全理解他们的项目以及对他们的期望。通过这个项目，ARSC努力促进和进一步关注北极研究的许多领域。该项目还有助于培养积极的研究和生活技能，同时增加各少数民族对科学和研究的参与。

EIA - 0139634Williams, FrankUniversity of Alaska - FairbanksTITLE: Alaska Research Summer Challenge at the Artic Region Supercomputing Center of the University of Alaska - Fairbanks.The Alaska Research Summer Challenge is an intern program offered by the Arctic Region Supercomputing Center (ARSC) at the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF). This program allows up to ten undergraduate students to perform research in the areas of Computer Science, Supercomputing, and Visualization. This minority outreach program is open to students primarily from minority institutions, with preference given to minority applicants. Recruitment is done by onsite recruiting at target institutions. ARSC focus our efforts on these groups, as they have traditionally been underrepresented in the science and research fields. With intern input, each participant is assigned a project related to their field of study, to be performed under the direct supervision of a faculty member or senior staff. Students spend an average of 10 weeks in Fairbanks where they live in campus housing with undergraduate interns from other groups and work an average of 40 hours per week to complete their projects. Under the oversight of the Program Manager, they work independently and within research groups, live in housing with other interns, gain new work and study skills and establish a stronger sense of self-assurance. The program manager ensures that each participant fully understands their project and what is expected of them. Through this program ARSC strives to promote and further interests in many areas of arctic research. The program also serves to develop positive research and life skills while increasing involvement of various minorities in science and research.
