This funding establishes a new Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site at the Florida International University. Undergraduate students from across the nation will participate in summer research focused on the security of smart devices, particularly wearable devices. The research projects will introduce practical innovations and testbeds for maintaining the privacy and security of smart devices such as wearable technologies, sensors, and mobile devices as well as smart infrastructures involving smart buildings, smart grids, and smart lighting and communication infrastructures. The students should acquire skills that will lead to rewarding professional careers in areas that are vital for preserving our national security.The students will learn how to design, implement, and assess research projects in areas that are needed to ensure safety and privacy of all citizens. The site will focus on recruiting under-represented minorities, particularly drawing on the surrounding universities with large Hispanic populations. The students will use of state-of-the art facilities and devices run by faculty members with significant expertise in the security of smart things. The goals of the project include providing a quality research experience for undergraduates, increasing participation of female and under-represented minorities in computing fields, and preparing students to pursue graduate studies in cyber security fields, and building a community of security of smart things researchers. This site is co-funded by the CISE Secure and Trustworthy Cyberspace (SaTC) Program.

这笔资金将在佛罗里达国际大学建立一个新的本科生研究体验 (REU) 网站。来自全国各地的本科生将参加夏季研究，重点关注智能设备（特别是可穿戴设备）的安全性。 这些研究项目将引入实用的创新和测试平台，以维护可穿戴技术、传感器和移动设备等智能设备以及涉及智能建筑、智能电网、智能照明和通信基础设施的智能基础设施的隐私和安全。 学生应该获得技能，在对维护国家安全至关重要的领域获得有回报的职业生涯。学生将学习如何在确保所有公民的安全和隐私所需的领域设计、实施和评估研究项目。该网站将专注于招募代表性不足的少数族裔，特别是利用周边拥有大量西班牙裔人口的大学。学生将使用最先进的设施和设备，这些设施和设备由在智能事物安全方面拥有丰富专业知识的教员运行。 该项目的目标包括为本科生提供优质的研究经验，增加女性和代表性不足的少数族裔在计算领域的参与，为学生攻读网络安全领域的研究生做好准备，并建立智能事物研究人员的安全社区。 该网站由 CISE 安全可信网络空间 (SaTC) 计划共同资助。
