REU Site: Engineers for Exploration

这笔资金用于加州大学圣地亚哥分校（UCSD）本科生网站的CISE研究经验的首次更新。 多学科网站的重点是网络物理系统的研究，其动机是探索和科学发现的真实的世界挑战。该网站扩大了成功的UCSD工程师探索计划，包括来自其他大学的学生。该计划旨在通过在UCSD提供亲密的指导实验室环境，以及与UCSD合作伙伴组织的科学家，探险家和工程师的结构化合作，为积极进取的学生提供独特的体验。这些合作伙伴组织包括国家地理学会、哈布斯海洋世界研究所、圣地亚哥动物园全球、NOAA、美国农业部、加州狼中心和斯克里普斯海洋学研究所。该计划为本科生提供了一个独特的机会来开发将在世界各地部署的技术;这些项目涉及科学研究，从字面上跨越每一个大陆，并进入地球仪的遥远角落。 该项目由一个优秀的团队领导，提供最先进的设施和专业导师，指导本科生探索现实世界的问题。REU参与者将接触到以探索和科学发现为中心的令人兴奋的研究项目，同时利用广泛的研究主题中的大量工程学科。他们将与有成就的教师和科学导师合作，使用最先进的设施进行尖端的网络物理系统研究。此外，他们将通过每周的研究技能研讨会和参加本科生研究会议，接触到广泛的专业发展活动。

This funding provides for a first renewal of a CISE Research Experiences for Undergraduates site at the University of California-San Diego (UCSD). The focus of the multidisciplinary site is on cyber-physical systems research motivated by real world challenges in exploration and scientific discovery. The site expands the successful UCSD Engineers for Exploration program to include students from other universities. The program aims to provide a unique experience for motivated students by providing an intimate mentored lab environment at UCSD, and a structured collaboration with scientists, explorers, and engineers at the UCSD partner organizations. These partner organizations include the National Geographic Society, Hubbs SeaWorld Research Institute, San Diego Zoo Global, NOAA, USDA, the California Wolf Center, and the Scripps Institute of Oceanography. The program provides undergraduates with a unique opportunity to develop technology that will be deployed across the world; the projects involve scientific research that literally spans across every continent and into the far corners of the globe. The project is led by an outstanding team offering state-of-the art facilities and professional mentors to guide undergraduates in explorations of real-world problems. The REU participants will be exposed to exciting research projects centered on exploration and scientific discovery while utilizing a vast array of engineering disciplines across a wide range of research topics. They will work with accomplished faculty and scientific mentors using state-of-the-art facilities to perform cutting-edge cyber-physical systems research. In addition, they will be exposed to extensive professional development activities through weekly research skills workshops and participation in an undergraduate research conference.
