REU Site: Harvey Mudd REU Site in Computer Systems

该奖项更新了哈维马德学院非常成功的CISE本科生研究经验（REU）网站。一组计算机科学教师导师在计算机系统的广泛领域设计了一个为期10周的夏季REU计划。暑期研究活动让学生体验了研究生院最引人注目的部分，以及计算机科学领域的沉浸式体验。学生的研究项目涵盖了计算机科学的广泛领域。学生们将在进行研究过程的各个方面获得经验。该网站将针对两年制学校的学生和刚开始本科学习的学生。该学院致力于吸引传统上在计算机领域代表性不足的群体的学生。该项目以个人和团体活动为特色，为那些在REU学习的学生创造了一个强大的共同队列体验。该计划发展研究能力，提高演讲和沟通技巧，并培养学生对研究相关职业的兴趣。该项目的智力价值围绕着各种系统项目展开，通过这些项目，学生将接触到研究过程的各个方面。研究重点包括文本简化、机器人、特定领域编程语言和系统以及主动交通规划。每个项目都与系统主题相联系，建立在现有平台之上，融合理论和实践，并实施设计以减轻复杂性。这些项目的设计是为了让学生在本科生涯的早期就能接触到，并遵循低成本和间接费用、可交付成果的外部可及性和狭窄焦点的原则。学生参与的项目是令人兴奋的，当前的，与外部相关的，有明确的应用。学生积极参与整个研究过程，包括文献检索、消化前人工作、制定新问题、设计和开展调查、准备报告和发表结果。REU团队将定期相互分享他们的工作，并每天与教师导师会面。这些项目活动将使学生获得宝贵的专业发展技能，对研究有更广泛和更深入的了解，并对自己未来的计算机专业人员和研究人员的能力有更大的信心。

This award renews a highly successful CISE Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site at Harvey Mudd College. A team of computer science faculty mentors have designed a 10 week summer REU program in the broad area of computer systems. The summer research activity gives students a taste of the most compelling parts of a graduate school experience as well as an immersive experience in the field of computer science. The student research projects cover a breadth of areas in computing science. The students will gain experience in all aspects of the process of conducting research. The site will target students from 2-year schools and students early in their undergraduate studies. The faculty is committed to engaging students from groups traditionally under-represented in computing. The program features individual and group activities that create a strong common-cohort experience for students for whom the REU experience should be transformative. The program develops research ability, improves presentation and communications skills, and nurtures student interest in research-related careers.The intellectual merit of the project revolves around the variety of systems projects through which students will be exposed to all aspects of the research process. The research focus areas include text simplification, robotics, domain-specific programming languages and systems, and active transportation planning. Each project connects with the systems theme, building atop existing platforms, melding theory and practice, and implementing designs to mitigate complexity. The projects are designed to be accessible to students early in their undergraduate careers and share principles of low-cost and overhead, external accessibility of deliverables, and narrowness of focus. The students engage in projects that are exciting, current, and externally relevant and that have clear applications. Students actively pursue the entire research process including literature search, digesting prior work, formulating new problems, designing and conducting investigations, and preparing presentations and publications of results. The REU cohorts will regularly share their work with each other and meet daily with faculty mentors. The project activities will permit students to acquire valuable professional development skills, gain a broader and deeper understanding of research, and develop greater confidence in their abilities as future computing professionals and researchers.
