As participants in the University of California-Riverside (UCR) REU Site program, 'Research Experiences in Integrated Computational Entomology,' students engage in full-time research for ten weeks in an active interdisciplinary research community. In addition to immersion into research, students begin the summer with an introduction to the research tools of computer science, engineering and entomology at UCR, where they learn basic skills in computer science, data statistics, and lab/field work in entomology and biology. REU students are mentored by two faculty members, one from the Computer Science Department, and one from the departments of Entomology, Ecology or Biology. The students work on projects that leverage the power of computers to solve problems in entomology. Examples of projects include flying insect classification using images/videos, using sensors to quantify the foraging behavior of bees, and monitoring insect sounds as a measure of biodiversity and the health of the environment.UC Riverside is one of a handful of accredited R1 research-intensive universities in the US designated as Hispanic Serving Institutions, with a student population that includes almost 30% Hispanic and approximately 50% first-generation college students. This REU Site program emphasizes recruitment and retention of underserved minorities, and provides skills in public dissemination of research findings. The project will not only provide STEM research opportunities for ten students each year, but will also promote STEM education throughout communities with low numbers of college-educated scientists and engineers, by training students who will become actively engaged in outreach efforts and serve as role models in these fields.This award is supported by the Advanced Cyberinfrastructure Division within the Directorate for Computer and Information Science and Engineering and the Division of Biological Infrastructure in the Directorate for Biosciences.

作为加州大学河滨大学（UCR）REU网站计划的参与者“综合计算昆虫学的研究经验”，学生在一个活跃的跨学科研究社区中从事全日制研究十周。 除了沉浸在研究中外，学生还开始了UCR计算机科学，工程和昆虫学研究工具的介绍，在那里他们学习了计算机科学，数据统计数据以及昆虫学和生物学领域的实验室/现场工作的基本技能。 REU学生由两名教职员工，一名来自计算机科学系的教职员工，一名来自昆虫学，生态或生物学部门的指导。 学生从事利用计算机力量解决昆虫学问题的项目。 项目的示例包括使用图像/视频的飞行昆虫分类，使用传感器来量化蜜蜂的觅食行为，并监视昆虫的声音作为对生物多样性和环境健康的量度。UCRiverside是美国指定为西班牙裔美国人的少数认可的R1 R1研究密集型大学，将其指定为西班牙裔美国人，该大学将几乎包括30％的学生，并包括30％的学生。 该REU网站计划强调招募和保留服务不足的少数民族，并提供了公众传播研究结果的技能。 该项目不仅将为每年的十名学生提供STEM研究机会，而且还将通过培训学生在这些领域积极参与宣传工作并作为榜样的培训学生来促进整个社区的STEM教育。该奖项由高级Cyber​​infrasture in in Cyber​​infrasture in Compure Sciention和Engineering Infrassion Infrass Infrass Infrassiration in Cyprations in Cyber​​infrasture部门提供支持。 有关此项目的更多信息，请访问网站：www.cs.ucr.edu/~eamonn/reu/。
