This award establishes a new Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site at Florida Atlantic University. Faculty in the Institute for Sensing and Embedded Network Systems Engineering will host cohorts of undergraduate students for summer research in the area of sensing and smart systems. Smart systems represent an emerging class of distributed systems that provide real-time awareness of conditions, trends, and patterns to support improved decision-making and automated control. Smart systems offer a significant application potential that should be appealing to undergraduate researchers. The recruitment and selection procedures will ensure that the program engages a diverse demographic, including a significant number of women and veterans as well as members of underrepresented minorities. Many of the participants will be recruited from institutions where there are limited research opportunities for undergraduates. In addition to conducting research the students will participate in other professional development activities such as industry field trips, professional seminars, speakers, career guidance, and graduate school preparation. An external evaluator will measure the success of the site and the impact on the students. The culminating event of the summer will be a mini-conference where the students present their research results in a professional setting.The REU site is led by faculty mentors from the Institute for Sensing and Embedded Network Systems Engineering. The faculty of the Institute have significant research expertise and offer state-of-the-art facilities that should provide a compelling research experience to undergraduates. The undergraduates will be woven into existing research groups and projects that are working on current and emerging applications that have real-world connections. The research will focus on three main areas of application expertise including infrastructure systems, marine and environment, and health and behavior. The projects span diverse contexts of exploration and application unified in their focus on sensing and smart systems. The resulting exploration space presents a myriad of challenges at the confluence of computing and data-intensive science and engineering. The site focus and associated research projects present and outstanding opportunity for catalyzing interdisciplinary exploration and discovery that will excite students and demonstrate scientific discovery and exploration at a high level.

该奖项在佛罗里达大西洋大学建立了一个新的本科生研究体验 (REU) 网站。传感与嵌入式网络系统工程研究所的教师将接待一批本科生进行传感和智能系统领域的夏季研究。智能系统代表了一类新兴的分布式系统，它提供对条件、趋势和模式的实时感知，以支持改进的决策和自动化控制。智能系统提供了巨大的应用潜力，应该对本科研究人员有吸引力。 招募和选拔程序将确保该计划吸引多元化的人群，包括大量女性和退伍军人以及代表性不足的少数族裔成员。许多参与者将从本科生研究机会有限的机构中招募。除了进行研究之外，学生还将参加其他专业发展活动，例如行业实地考察、专业研讨会、演讲、职业指导和研究生院准备。 外部评估员将衡量该网站的成功程度以及对学生的影响。 夏季的高潮活动将是一次小型会议，学生们将在专业环境中展示他们的研究成果。REU 网站由传感和嵌入式网络系统工程研究所的教师导师领导。该研究所的教师拥有丰富的研究专业知识，并提供最先进的设施，应该为本科生提供令人信服的研究体验。本科生将融入现有的研究小组和项目，研究与现实世界有联系的当前和新兴应用程序。 该研究将重点关注应用专业知识的三个主要领域，包括基础设施系统、海洋和环境以及健康和行为。这些项目跨越不同的探索和应用背景，统一关注传感和智能系统。 由此产生的探索空间在计算和数据密集型科学与工程的融合中提出了无数的挑战。该网站的重点和相关研究项目为促进跨学科探索和发现提供了绝佳的机会，这将激发学生的兴趣并展示高水平的科学发现和探索。
