REU SITE: Electrical Engineering Research Applications in Homeland Security

EEC-0649142 Karen L.巴特勒-普尔在德克萨斯工程实验站的REU网站的更新奖每年支持10名本科生参加为期10周的暑期项目，为期三年。REU网站的目标是：（1）从校外招募70%的参与者;（2）积极招募代表性不足的学生和本科生研究机会有限的学生参与;（3）为以前很少或没有研究经验的学生提供新的研究机会，提供研究方法，自律，团队整合，报告和交流新知识;（4）提供有关参加研究生院，申请过程的好处的信息，并鼓励学生参加电气和计算机工程研究生院;和（5）提供REU学生，德克萨斯A& M大学（TAMU）研究生和教师导师之间的社区建设机会，以及（6）为REU学生提供机会，与教师导师一起展示和发表。招聘工作将由与少数民族服务机构（包括西班牙裔服务机构（HSI））有个人联系的教师提供便利，历史上的黑人学院和大学（HBCUs）以及通过学生工程组织，如女工程师协会（SWE），全国黑人工程师协会（NSBE）、墨西哥裔美国工程师和科学家协会（MAES）和西班牙裔工程师协会（SHPE）。

EEC-0649142 Karen L. Butler-PurryThis renewal award for an REU Site at the Texas Engineering Experiment Station supports 10 undergraduate students each year for three years in a 10-week summer program. The objectives of the REU Site are: (1) to recruit 70% of the participants from off-campus;( 2) actively recruit underrepresented students and students with limited access to undergraduate research opportunities for participation; (3) open new research opportunities to students who have had little or no previous research experience, providing insights into research methodologies, self-discipline, team integration, and reporting and exchanging new knowledge; (4) provide information on benefits of attending graduate school, the application process, and encouraging students to attend graduate school in Electrical and Computer Engineering; and (5) provide community building opportunity among REU students, Texas A&M University (TAMU) graduate students, and faculty mentors, and (6) provide opportunities for REU students to present and publish with faculty mentors.Recruitment efforts will be facilitated by faculty who have personal contacts with minority serving institutions, including Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs), Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) as well as through student engineering organizations such as the Society of Women Engineers (SWE), National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE), Mexican American Engineers and Scientists (MAES), and the Society of Hispanic Engineers (SHPE)..
