REU Site: Research Experiences in Computer Science for Students at Undergraduate Institutions

机构：DePauw University提案编号：EIA -0242293 PI：大卫A. Berque标题：REU网站-在计算机科学的本科院校的学生的研究经验该项目直接影响24名学生（在三个夏天的每八个）通过给他们的第一手经验，与几个最有价值的活动，表征研究生学习和研究生涯。 这些活动包括：作为团队的一部分进行研究，传播成果，并参与学者社区。 学生可以使用DePauw大学的计算设施，包括一个基于笔的计算合作实验室，以促进多个机器接口的研究。 该合作实验室最近获得了NSF MRI资助，并配备了一个72英寸对角线触摸感应电子白板、四个61英寸对角线触摸感应等离子显示器和二十个使用笔式视频平板电脑作为主要输入设备的奔腾学生站。 这笔赠款还资助了一台显示服务器、六台手持Windows-CE计算机和一台数据库服务器，用于无线数据库访问实验。 该计划是面向学生就读于本科院校谁有很少接触研究生部门。这些研究项目来自计算机科学的许多领域，包括文本摘要，无线数据库访问，多机器接口，编程语言教学法和辅助技术。

Institution: DePauw UniversityProposal Number: EIA - 0242293PI: David A. BerqueTitle: REU Site - Research Experiences in Computer Science for Students at Undergraduate InstitutionsThe project directly impacts twenty-four students (eight during each of three summers) by giving them first-hand experience with several of the most rewarding activities that characterize graduate study and research careers. These activities include: conducting research as part of a team, disseminating results, and participating in a community of scholars. Students have access to DePauw University's computing facilities, including a pen-based computing collaboratory that facilitates the study of multiple machine interfaces. This Collaboratory was recently enhanced with a NSF MRI grant and houses a 72" diagonal touch-sensitive electronic whiteboard, four 61" diagonal touch-sensitive plasma displays, and twenty Pentium student stations that use pen-based video tablets as their primary input device. The grant is also funding a display server, six handheld Windows-CE computers, and a database server for experimentation with wireless database access. The program is geared toward students enrolled at undergraduate institutions who have had little exposure to graduate departments. The research projects are drawn from a number of fields of Computer Science including Text Summarization, Wireless Database Access, Multiple Machine Interfaces, Programming Language Pedagogy, and Assistive Technology.
