REU Site: Center for Embedded Networked Sensing (CENS)

该奖项为15名本科生提供支持，让他们在加州大学洛杉矶分校嵌入式网络传感中心(CENS)进行暑期研究，该中心是NSF资助的科学和技术中心。学生们将有一个独特的机会在该中心体验系统的方法来进行本科生研究培训。学生们将在现场呆上十周，并有机会通过参加CENS校友网络计划，在整个学年参加各种活动和事件。这一计划将有助于鼓励本科生攻读工程学高级学位，从而影响美国增加从事研究相关职业的美国公民和永久居民数量的需要。预计这一计划将对那些需要更广泛地参与研究事业的国家产生更广泛的影响，这些公民和永久居民来自传统上在科学和工程领域代表性较低的人口群体。

This award provides support for 15 undergraduate students to engage in a summer research experience at the University of California, Los Angeles Center for Embedded Networked Sensing (CENS), an NSF-funded Science and Technology Center. The students will have a unique opportunity at the Center to experience a systems approach to undergraduate research training. Students will spend ten weeks on site and will have the opportunity to have access to various activities and events through the academic year through participation in the CENS Alumni Network program. This program will serve to encourage undergraduates to pursue advanced degrees in engineering and thus impact the nations need to increase the number of U.S. citizens and permanent residents engaged in research-related careers. It is also anticipated that this program will have a Broader Impact on the nations need to have broader participation in the research enterprise of citizens and permanent residents from demographic groups traditionally underrepresented in science and engineering.
