REU Site: Research Experience for Undegraduate in Computational Methods in High Performace Computing with Applications to Computer Science

该站点由国防部与NSF REU项目合作支持。该奖项为史坦顿岛学院（纽约市立大学）的一个为期三年的REU站点提供支持，并得到纽约市立大学高性能计算中心的技术支持，该领域的国家重要性日益增加：高性能计算中的计算方法与计算机科学中的应用。REU网站招募了8名本科生，进行为期10周的暑期体验，他们将与导师一起在计算机科学的不同研究子领域（例如图论、网络可靠性、密码学、网络安全、无线自组织、传感器网络和复杂系统建模与仿真）中承担具有挑战性的问题，这些问题需要并行处理编程技术来解决。入选学生培养科研能力，提高口头表达和写作能力。该计划旨在帮助学生产生重要的研究成果，并以可接受的格式在会议或期刊上发表。招收的学生来自那些提供有限或没有STEM研究机会的学院和大学，比如历史上少数民族的学院和大学。重点是吸引少数民族和女学生。研究和技术活动与小组活动相结合，包括对纽约大都会地区最先进的研究设施的实地考察，教师举办的研讨会，以及增强小组多样性的社会活动。职业发展研讨会，计算机科学伦理问题，文献检索，技术写作和研究生院咨询，是该计划的组成部分。该计划旨在吸引学生进行研究，并为他们提供智力和激励工具，使他们参与研究生学习，并在计算机科学或相关领域从事研究工作。

The site is supported by the Department of Defense in partnership with the NSF REU program.The award provides support for a three-year REU Site at the College of Staten Island (City University of New York) with technical support from CUNY's High Performance Computing Center, in an area of increasing national importance: Computational Methods in High Performance Computing with Applications in Computer Science. The REU Site recruits eight undergraduate students, for a ten-week summer experience, who undertake challenging problems with their mentors, in different research sub-fields of computer science (e.g., Graph Theory, Network Reliability, Cryptography, Network Security, Wireless Ad-hoc, Sensor Networks, and Complex Systems Modeling and Simulation) that require parallel processing programming techniques to be solved. Selected students develop competency in scientific research, improve oral presentations and writing skills. The program is aimed to help students produce significant research results which are written up in a format acceptable for publication in either a conference or journal.Students are recruited from colleges and universities that offer limited or no STEM research opportunities, such as historically minority colleges and universities. Emphasis is placed on attracting minority and female students. Research and technical activities are integrated with group activities which include site visits to state-of-the art research facilities in the New York metropolitan area, seminars conducted by faculty, and social activities to enhance the diversity of the group. Seminars in career development, ethical issues in computer science, literature search, technical writing, and graduate school advisement, are integral parts of the program. The program is expected to draw students into research and provide them with the intellectual and motivational tools to engage them in graduate studies and pursue research careers in computer science or related fields.
