REU Site: Biosystems Internships for ENgineers (BIEN)

该REU网站程序BIEN“生物系统实习工程师”将提供夏季研究机会，在电气和计算机工程（ECE）在马里兰州大学，学院公园（UMCP）的部门为10名本科生每年在电气工程（EE）的应用生物系统。 现代医学和科学的许多突破都建立在EE基础上，特别是在医疗设备，纳米技术和信息技术的技术领域。BIEN计划建立在电气工程和生物学之间接口的研究创新的坚实记录之上。研究课题的例子反映了生物系统在电气工程中应用的广度和深度，从纳米技术和微电子设备到自主控制，信息安全，系统建模，语音识别和神经形态信号处理。目标学生将是有才华的本科生谁已经完成了他们的大二在电气工程和相关课程。重点将放在招收代表性不足的群体的学生和缺乏类似研究机会的学校的学生。 BIEN学生将在夏季在校园内度过十周，参与由本科生，研究生和教师顾问组成的小型团队的研究。研讨会，讲习班和实地考察计划将补充和加强学习经验。

The REU Site Program BIEN "Biosystems Internships for ENgineers" will provide summer research opportunities in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) at the University of Maryland, College Park (UMCP) for 10 undergraduate students per year in the applications of electrical engineering (EE) to biosystems. Many breakthroughs in modern medicine and science have been built on EE foundations, notably in the technical areas of medical devices, nanotechnology and information technology. The BIEN program builds upon a solid track record of research innovation at the interface between electrical engineering and biology. Examples of research topics reflect the breadth and depth of biosystems applications in electrical engineering, ranging from nanotechnology and microelectronic devices to autonomous control, information security, system modeling, speech recognition, and neuromorphic signal processing. Targeted students will be talented undergraduates who have completed their sophomore year in electrical engineering and related programs. Significant emphasis will be placed on recruiting students from under represented groups and students from schools lacking similar research opportunities. BIEN students will spend ten weeks in the summer on campus involved in research in small teams consisting of undergraduates, graduate students and faculty advisors. A program of seminars, workshops, and field trips will complement and reinforce the learning experience.
