This Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site at the University of North Carolina-Charlotte engages a diverse group of 10 undergraduate students each summer in an intensive 9-week research experience. The Site research theme of Smart and Secure Future Computing engages students in interdisciplinary research focusing on applications in cutting edge domains such as smart homes, transportation, healthcare, and other advanced systems. The goals of the REU Site program experience are to develop students’ research skills and confidence through exposure and training in interdisciplinary research in the focus areas of cybersecurity and artificial intelligence. To achieve these goals, the REU participants work together with faculty, graduate students, and peers on research projects. Research project work provides participants with a firsthand opportunity to apply and expand their knowledge, to better understand the societal and global impacts of research, to bring these experiences back to their home institutions and to apply lessons learned to contribute to cutting-edge computing applications. The objective of this REU Site is to create a collaborative community that supports and engages a diverse group of undergraduate students in research to advance the state of the art in cybersecurity and artificial intelligence. The REU Site mentoring approach aims to cultivate a community of learning through regular training in research skills; tiered mentoring of faculty, graduate students, and peers; and communicating and sharing research results. The UNC Charlotte REU Site emphasizes participation of promising students from underrepresented groups in computing and from institutions that have limited research programs. Undergraduate students are recruited from throughout the region and country to participate in the program. This experience will further prepare students for graduate school and computing research, and improve their perceptions of computing as a career, all while contributing to research projects in cybersecurity and artificial intelligence.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

北卡罗来纳大学夏洛特分校的本科生研究体验 (REU) 网站每年夏天都会吸引 10 名本科生参与为期 9 周的强化研究体验，该网站的研究主题是“智能和安全的未来计算”，让学生参与跨学科的研究。研究重点是智能家居、交通、医疗保健和其他先进系统等前沿领域的应用 REU 站点项目经验的目标是通过重点领域跨学科研究的接触和培训来培养学生的研究技能和信心。网络安全的为了实现这些目标，REU 参与者与教师、研究生和同行一起开展研究项目，为参与者提供了应用和扩展知识的第一手机会，以更好地了解社会和全球影响。 REU 网站的目标是创建一个支持和吸引多元化本科生群体参与研究的协作社区。推进网络安全和人工智能的最先进水平。 REU 站点指导方法旨在通过对教师、研究生和同行的定期培训以及交流和分享研究成果来培养学习社区；计算机和研究项目有限的机构从整个地区和国家招募本科生来参加该项目，这种经验将进一步为学生进入研究生院和计算机研究做好准备，并提高他们对计算机作为职业的看法。在为研究项目做出贡献的同时这反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
