This funding provides for a first renewal of a CISE Research Experiences for Undergraduates site at the University of California-San Diego (UCSD). The focus of the multidisciplinary site is on cyber-physical systems research motivated by real world challenges in exploration and scientific discovery. The site expands the successful UCSD Engineers for Exploration program to include students from other universities. The program aims to provide a unique experience for motivated students by providing an intimate mentored lab environment at UCSD, and a structured collaboration with scientists, explorers, and engineers at the UCSD partner organizations. These partner organizations include the National Geographic Society, Hubbs SeaWorld Research Institute, San Diego Zoo Global, NOAA, USDA, the California Wolf Center, and the Scripps Institute of Oceanography. The program provides undergraduates with a unique opportunity to develop technology that will be deployed across the world; the projects involve scientific research that literally spans across every continent and into the far corners of the globe. The project is led by an outstanding team offering state-of-the art facilities and professional mentors to guide undergraduates in explorations of real-world problems. The REU participants will be exposed to exciting research projects centered on exploration and scientific discovery while utilizing a vast array of engineering disciplines across a wide range of research topics. They will work with accomplished faculty and scientific mentors using state-of-the-art facilities to perform cutting-edge cyber-physical systems research. In addition, they will be exposed to extensive professional development activities through weekly research skills workshops and participation in an undergraduate research conference.

这笔资金为加州大学迭戈分校（UCSD）的本科生网站的CISE研究经验提供了首次续签。 多学科站点的重点是由探索和科学发现中现实世界挑战的网络物理系统研究。该网站扩大了成功的UCSD工程师的勘探计划，以包括其他大学的学生。该计划旨在通过在UCSD提供亲密的指导实验室环境以及与UCSD合作伙伴组织的科学家，探险家和工程师的结构化合作，为积极进取的学生提供独特的体验。这些合作伙伴组织包括国家地理学会，Hubbs Seaworld研究所，圣地亚哥动物园全球，NOAA，USDA，加利福尼亚狼中心和Scripps海洋学研究所。该计划为大学生提供了一个独特的机会来开发将在世界范围内部署的技术；这些项目涉及科学研究，这些科学研究从字面上跨越了各个大陆并进入全球范围的角落。 该项目由一支杰出的团队领导，提供最先进的设施和专业导师，以指导本科生在现实世界中的探索。 REU参与者将接触到以探索和科学发现为中心的令人兴奋的研究项目，同时利用各种研究主题的各种工程学科。他们将使用最先进的设施与出色的教师和科学导师合作，以执行尖端的网络物理系统研究。此外，他们将通过每周的研究技能讲习班和参加本科研究会议的活动来参加广泛的专业发展活动。
