IRES: Research in Industrial Projects for Students (RIPS) - Hong Kong

香港IRES计划的研究课题是应用数学。每年有10名来自美国的本科生被选入香港科技大学（HKUST），在那里他们将与来自香港和中国的另外10名学生合作。 该计划征求与该地区工业有关的问题，学生们在每个四名学生的混合团队中解决这些问题。每个团队都有一位学术导师和一位工业导师。鼓励学生发表他们的最终报告。该计划的智力价值主要源于在工业环境中确定的具有挑战性的问题。了解世界，特别是东亚，并为他们在未来的职业生涯中与国际同事接触做好准备。PI努力包括代表性不足的少数民族，经验鼓励参与的本科生欣赏研究，并继续研究生院。

The research topic of this IRES program in Hong Kong is applied mathematics. Ten undergraduate students from the U.S. are selected each year to go to the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) where they will collaborate with another group of ten students from Hong Kong and China. The program solicits mathematics-related problems from industry in the area, and the students work on those problems in mixed teams of four students each. Each team has an academic mentor as well as an industrial mentor. Students are encouraged to publish their final reports. The intellectual merit of the program stems primarily from the challenging problems that are identified in an industrial setting.This international research experience broadens the students? understanding of the world, especially East Asia, and prepares them to engage with international colleagues in the future course of their careers. The PIs makes an effort to include underrepresented minorities, and the experience encourages the participating undergraduates to appreciate research and to continue to graduate school.
