This funding renews a highly successful CISE Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at the University of Houston. The theme of this site is algorithm design and analysis focusing on real-time, parallel, data-intensive problems in large-scale heterogeneous, and highly distributed modern computing environments. Students will receive ten-week intensive training in specific research fields as well as basic research skills including literature review, algorithm design and implementation, experiment setup, data analysis, technical writing and presentation. The research projects are interdisciplinary and an emphasis will be placed on teamwork and collaboration. Local researchers from the Texas Medical Center, NASA Johnson Space Center, and oil industry will helps provide mentoring to the students.This site will introduce 30 undergraduate students (over three years) to computing research, with a goal of directing more U.S. undergraduates into graduate computing programs. The host institution is both a Hispanic Serving Institution as well as a Minority Serving Institution, so this project will help attract minority students into STEM programs.

这笔资金更新了休斯顿大学非常成功的 CISE 本科生研究体验 (REU) 网站。 该网站的主题是算法设计和分析，重点关注大规模异构、高度分布式现代计算环境中的实时、并行、数据密集型问题。 学生将接受为期十周的特定研究领域的强化培训以及基本研究技能，包括文献综述、算法设计和实现、实验设置、数据分析、技术写作和演示。 研究项目是跨学科的，重点是团队合作和协作。 来自德克萨斯医学中心、NASA 约翰逊航天中心和石油工业的当地研究人员将帮助为学生提供指导。该网站将向 30 名本科生（三年以上）介绍计算机研究，目标是引导更多美国本科生进入研究生计算程序。 主办机构既是拉美裔服务机构，也是少数族裔服务机构，因此该项目将有助于吸引少数族裔学生进入 STEM 项目。
