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.

作为加州大学河滨分校 (UCR) REU 站点项目“综合计算昆虫学研究经验”的参与者，学生们在活跃的跨学科研究社区中进行为期十周的全职研究。 除了沉浸于研究之外，学生们在暑假开始时还介绍了加州大学河滨分校的计算机科学、工程学和昆虫学的研究工具，在那里他们学习计算机科学、数据统计以及昆虫学和生物学实验室/现场工作的基本技能。 REU 的学生由两名教员指导，其中一名来自计算机科学系，另一名来自昆虫学、生态学或生物学系。 学生们致力于利用计算机的力量解决昆虫学问题的项目。 项目示例包括使用图像/视频对飞行昆虫进行分类、使用传感器量化蜜蜂的觅食行为以及监测昆虫声音作为生物多样性和环境健康的衡量标准。加州大学河滨分校是少数获得认可的 R1 研究机构之一美国的密集型大学被指定为拉美裔服务机构，学生群体中近 30% 是拉美裔，约 50% 是第一代大学生。 REU 站点计划强调招募和保留服务不足的少数群体，并提供公开传播研究成果的技能。 该项目不仅每年为 10 名学生提供 STEM 研究机会，还将通过培训积极参与外展工作并充当榜样的学生，在受过大学教育的科学家和工程师数量较少的社区推广 STEM 教育该奖项得到了计算机和信息科学与工程理事会的高级网络基础设施部门以及生物科学理事会的生物基础设施部门的支持。 有关该项目的更多信息，请访问网站：www.cs.ucr.edu/~eamonn/REU/。
