REU Site: Undergraduate Computer Research (UnCoRe) In Secure and Trustworthy Cyberspace

这一CISE本科生研究经验(REU)站点奖资助了奥克兰大学的REU站点。每年夏天，来自全国各地的本科生将致力于挑战与网络安全相关的研究问题，这是我们国家的优先领域。学生将与教师导师合作，使用工具和技术来解决及时和重要的问题。这个网站应该有助于培养计算机专业人员，他们能够构建安全可靠的未来计算系统和应用程序，我们都可以放心地使用这些系统和应用程序。REU的经验为学生提供了在快速发展和影响我们所有公民的领域追求计算职业和研究的基础和灵感。该网站将专注于从研究机会有限的机构招聘女性和学生。该团队将使用过去REU网站采用的成功策略，从传统上在计算机科学中代表性不足的群体中招募本科生。该网站包括一个重要的研究部分，结合了为参与的本科生提供的职业发展机会。学生们沉浸在研究环境的方方面面：积极参与制定研究项目和定义解决方案；与同行和其他受众就研究和他们的发现进行交流；参观研究实验室并参加科学和技术演示；以及与包括教师、研究生和其他科学研究人员在内的研究团队建立合作关系。由此产生的研究成果常常在专业会议上提出，并列入技术出版物，从而为与维护安全和值得信赖的网络空间有关的研究工作做出贡献。最终目标是在未来不断发展的全球社会中，为发展一支在对国家安全至关重要的领域拥有专门知识的多样化科学队伍作出贡献。

This CISE Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site award funds a REU site at Oakland University. Each summer, undergraduate students from across the nation will work on challenging research problems related to cybersecurity, an area of national priority for our nation. Students will work with faculty mentors to use tools and techniques to solve problems that are timely and important. This site should help develop computing professionals who can build future computing systems and applications that are secure and trustworthy and that we can all use with confidence. This REU experience provides students with the foundations and inspiration to pursue computing careers and research in areas that are rapidly evolving and impacting all of our citizens. The site will focus on recruiting women and students from institutions where there are limited research opportunities. The team will use successful strategies employed in past REU Sites to recruit undergraduate students from groups traditionally under-represented in computer science. The site includes a significant research component combined with professional development opportunities for the participating undergraduate students. The students are immersed into a research environment with all of its facets: participating actively in shaping a research project and in defining the solution; communicating to peers and other audiences about the research and their findings; visiting research laboratories and attending scientific and technical presentations; and forming collegial relationships with research teams that include faculty, graduate students, and other scientific researchers. The resulting research is often presented at professional conferences and included in technical publications thus contributing to the body of research related to sustaining secure and trustworthy cyberspace. The ultimate goal is to contribute to the development of a diverse scientific workforce with expertise in areas critical to national security in the evolving global society of the future.
