Oakland University (OU) will renew their Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site that has been hosted in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering for over two decades. Each summer, undergraduate students from across the nation will work on challenging research problems related to cybersecurity and artificial intelligence (AI), an area of national priority for our nation. These undergraduate students will spend 10 summer weeks on campus where they are immersed in a research environment with all its facets: participating actively in shaping the research project and in defining its solution; communicating to peers and other audiences about their progress and their findings; visiting research laboratories and attending presentations about all aspects of research and research careers. The team will continue to use successful strategies employed in past REU Sites to recruit undergraduate students from groups traditionally under-represented in computer science. A particular focus will be on recruiting women, and students from groups that are under-represented in computing, as well as students from institutions where there are limited research opportunities. The goal is to contribute to the development of a diverse scientific workforce with expertise in areas critical to national security in the evolving global society of the future.This REU (UnCoRe-CyberAI) site will allow students to work with researchers and contribute to the evolving landscape of cybersecurity and modern AI in transportation technology, medicine and data science, the interdisciplinary nature of human-AI interaction, the convergence of cutting-edge AI and national security for DoD bases, and core software security. Ultimately, the goal is to contribute to developing a diverse, internationally competitive, and globally engaged science and engineering workforce, which is one of the NSF priorities. The project will engage 30 participants (many of them are women or URMs and from institutions with limited research activity in STEM) in research experiences that will motivate them to pursue careers in science and engineering, particularly Cybersecurity and AI. The REU students will be better prepared for graduate studies and engineering. Further, research and programmatic results will be disseminated in conferences and through peer-reviewed articles.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.

奥克兰大学 (OU) 将更新其本科生研究体验 (REU) 网站，该网站已在计算机科学与工程系托管了二十多年。每年夏天，来自全国各地的本科生都会致力于解决与网络安全和人工智能（AI）相关的挑战性研究问题，这是我国的国家优先领域。 这些本科生将在校园度过 10 个暑期周，沉浸在全方位的研究环境中：积极参与研究项目的制定和解决方案的制定；与同行和其他受众交流他们的进展和发现；参观研究实验室并参加有关研究和研究职业各个方面的演讲。 该团队将继续使用过去 REU 站点所采用的成功策略，从传统上在计算机科学领域代表性不足的群体中招收本科生。特别关注的是招募女性、来自计算机领域代表性不足的群体的学生，以及来自研究机会有限的机构的学生。其目标是在未来不断发展的全球社会中，为国家安全关键领域的多元化科学人才队伍的发展做出贡献。REU (UnCoRe-Cyber​​AI) 网站将允许学生与研究人员合作，并为不断发展的全球社会做出贡献。交通技术、医学和数据科学中的网络安全和现代人工智能的前景，人类与人工智能交互的跨学科性质，国防部基地尖端人工智能和国家安全的融合，以及核心软件安全。 最终目标是促进培养一支多元化、具有国际竞争力、全球参与的科学和工程队伍，这是 NSF 的优先事项之一。该项目将吸引 30 名参与者（其中许多是女性或 URM，来自在 STEM 领域研究活动有限的机构）获得研究经验，这将激励他们从事科学和工程领域的职业，特别是网络安全和人工智能。 REU 的学生将为研究生学习和工程学做好更好的准备。此外，研究和计划成果将在会议和同行评审文章中传播。该奖项反映了 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。
