This award funds a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site at Temple University. Each summer a cohort of undergraduate students will work with Temple faculty in small groups to design, implement, and evaluate research projects involving mobile computing, wireless communication, and cloud computing. Mobile cloud computing is an emerging research area and of interest to students as well as industry. The research projects involve small, mobile devices such as smartphones empowered by the abundant resources of the cloud for exploration of novel applications such as crowdsourcing and participatory sensing. Thus the students and researchers have the opportunity to explore problems that are important and timely and relevant to all our citizens. This project builds human capacity in computing and communications research and knowledge. The program will provide experiences to undergraduate students that may influence their choices about further education and future careers and continue to give them confidence to pursue these choices and thus increase the size and diversity of the scientific workforce. The site will focus on recruiting students from 2 and 4 year institutions near Philadelphia and will particularly seek students from groups under-represented in computing fields. The students will participate in professional development activities that make them more aware of graduate school and professional aspects of a computing career. Students will also have access to and internal supercomputer and cloud cluster. Thus the students will be able to use the state-of-the-art facilities available at the university and interact with an experienced faculty team to conduct challenging and timely research on emerging technologies that are becoming pervasive in our society.

该奖项为Temple University的本科生（REU）网站提供了研究经验。每年夏天，一批本科生将与小组的寺庙教师合作，设计，实施和评估涉及移动计算，无线通信和云计算的研究项目。移动云计算是一个新兴的研究领域，也是学生和行业感兴趣的领域。该研究项目涉及小型移动设备，例如智能手机，云的丰富资源赋权，以探索众包和参与性传感等新型应用程序。 因此，学生和研究人员有机会探索与我们所有公民重要，及时且相关的问题。 该项目在计算和通信研究和知识方面增强了人类的能力。该计划将为本科生提供经验，这些学生可能会影响他们对进一步的教育和未来职业的选择，并继续使他们有信心追求这些选择，从而增加科学劳动力的规模和多样性。该网站将着重于费城附近2年和4年机构的学生招募学生，并特别从计算领域中占人数不足的团体中寻找学生。 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。学生还可以访问和内部超级计算机和云集群。 因此，学生将能够使用大学可用的最先进的设施，并与经验丰富的教职员工进行互动，以对我们社会中普遍存在的新兴技术进行挑战和及时的研究。
