This award provides funding to renew the existing successful CISE Research Experiences for Undergraduates Site at Virginia Tech University. The REU Site will provide undergraduate students with immersive, high-quality learning and interdisciplinary research experience in cognitive communications, an emerging wireless communications technology. The students will implement their projects on the Virginia Tech Cognitive Radio Network testbed (VT-CORNET). The students will participate in professional development activities that make them more aware of graduate school and professional aspects of a computing career. The students will join a variety of funded research projects ongoing at the Wireless@VT center and work with a faculty team with outstanding experience and expertise to direct the intellectual component of each project. Cognitive communications is an emerging and exciting field that promises to transform the wireless communications industry. The focus will be on topics such as spectrum management for wireless networks, public safety interoperable radios, rural broadband access, usability and human factors principles for cognitive engines and interface design that are important and timely. Thus the project has the potential to contribute to the advancement of research and discovery in an important and timely area of computing.The broader impacts of the project include providing a quality research experience to undergraduate students, particularly students from underrepresented groups and from institutions with limited research environments. Thus this project has the potential to produce new computer science graduate students and faculty members and to advance discovery and understanding while promoting learning.

该奖项为弗吉尼亚理工大学的本科生网站续签现有成功的CISE研究经验提供了资金。 REU网站将为本科生提供认知通信（一种新兴的无线通信技术）的身临其境，高质量的学习和跨学科研究经验。学生将在弗吉尼亚技术认知无线网络测试台（VT-Cornet）上实施他们的项目。 学生将参加专业发展活动，使他们更加了解计算职业的研究生院和专业方面。 学生将加入无线@VT中心正在进行的各种资助的研究项目，并与具有出色经验和专业知识的教师团队合作，以指导每个项目的知识分子。 认知通信是一个新兴而令人兴奋的领域，有望改变无线通信行业。 重点将放在主题上，例如无线网络的频谱管理，公共安全互操作的无线电，农村宽带访问，可用性和人为因素的认知引擎原理和界面设计，这些原则和界面设计很重要。因此，该项目有可能在重要及时的计算领域中为研究和发现的发展做出贡献。该项目的更广泛影响包括为本科生，尤其是来自代表性不足的团体以及来自有限研究环境的机构的学生提供优质的研究经验。因此，该项目有可能培养新的计算机科学研究生和教职员工，并在促进学习时提高发现和理解。
