REU Site: Interdisciplinary Research Experience in Electrical and Computer Engineering (IREECE)

为年轻的大学生提供一个机会，在当前，相关和有趣的项目上担任研究人员，可以对他们在STEM相关领域从事职业的愿望产生深远的积极影响。在NSF工程教育和中心分部的支持下，奥克兰大学的电气和计算机工程跨学科研究经验（IREECE）计划将在未来三年内为30名本科生提供引人入胜的研究经验，特别关注女性和少数民族。学生们将参与积极的项目，包括研究睡眠呼吸暂停对犬的影响的生物医学研究，研究如何使用X射线更好地成像人类心脏，模仿普通家蝇的视觉系统，为自主机器人开发MEMS传感器，以及学习电磁学车载天线设计。通过教师的密切指导，学生将获得宝贵的技能，有助于成功的研究，团队合作，沟通和通过技术会议传播他们的工作。参与者还将通过与底特律大都会地区的教师，研究人员和行业合作者的密切互动，了解工程对我们生活的可能性和影响。

Providing young college students an opportunity to function as researchers on projects that are current, relevant, and interesting can have a profound positive influence on their desire to pursue a career in a STEM related field. With support from the NSF Division of Engineering Education and Centers, the Interdisciplinary Research Experience in Electrical and Computer Engineering (IREECE) Program at Oakland University will provide an engaging research experience for thirty undergraduate students over the next three years, with special focus on females and minorities. The students will engage in active projects that include biomedical research studying the effects of sleep apnea on canines, studying how to better image the human heart using X-rays, mimicking the visual system of the common house fly, developing MEMS sensors for autonomous robots, and learning about electromagnetics vehicular antenna designs. With close mentoring from faculty, the students will gain valuable skills in contributing to successful research, teamwork, communication, and dissemination of their work through technical conferences. Participants will also learn about the possibilities and the impact of engineering on our lives through close interaction with faculty, research staff, and industry collaborators in the Metro Detroit Area.
