The Summer Undergraduate Research Experience (SURE) program at Illinois Tech engages ten undergraduates, three faculty mentors, and three graduate students for this ten week program for each of 3 years to study research topics in computational mathematics and machine learning. SURE students are embedded in existing, active research groups where they acquire both technical as well as communication and teamwork skills. SURE makes a concerted effort to diversify the research environment by targeting female and underrepresented minority students and students from academic institutions with limited research opportunities. The program is designed to prepare SURE students for graduate study in mathematics, statistics, or related fields in preparation for research careers in academia or industry. The SURE program promotes advanced training in STEM disciplines. The student-centered learning-research modules enhance participants’ knowledge of mathematics and statistics and develop their capabilities in conducting independent research. SURE students explore real-world research challenges and learn to pose questions, collect preliminary findings, modify their questions as necessary, and pursue answers. SURE students learn to be effective in communication, teamwork, professionalism, and responsibility. SURE engages in a wide range of computational mathematics and machine learning topics, including i) building and applying energetic variational inference algorithms, ii) developing code for pattern formation models in physical and biological systems, iii) assessing models for scoring environment, sustainability, and government risk factors in finance, and iv) identifying novel sampling methods and stopping criteria for Monte Carlo simulations. During the summer, SURE participants present their work bi-weekly and receive feedback from each other and their faculty and graduate student mentors. The summer program concludes with a poster day where students present their research to the Illinois Tech community.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.

伊利诺伊理工大学的暑期本科生研究体验 (SURE) 项目每年邀请 10 名本科生、3 名教师导师和 3 名研究生参加为期 10 周的项目，以研究计算数学和机器学习方面的研究课题。 SURE 致力于通过针对女性和代表性不足的少数族裔学生以及研究机会有限的学术机构的学生来实现研究环境的多样化。准备SURE 学生在数学、统计学或相关领域进行研究生学习，为学术界或工业界的研究生涯做好准备。以学生为中心的学习研究模块增强了参与者的数学和统计学知识。培养他们进行独立研究的能力，探索现实世界的研究挑战，并学习提出问题、收集初步发现、根据需要修改问题并寻求答案。责任.确定从事广泛的计算数学和机器学习主题，包括 i) 构建和应用能量变分推理算法，ii) 开发物理和生物系统中模式形成模型的代码，iii) 评估环境、可持续性和政府评分模型金融中的风险因素，以及 iv) 确定蒙特卡罗模拟的新颖抽样方法和停止标准 在夏季，SURE 参与者每两周展示一次他们的工作，并收到彼此及其教师和研究生导师的反馈。举办海报日，学生们向伊利诺伊州理工学院社区展示他们的研究。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并且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。
