Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Summer Program in Computer Science and Engineering

Research Projects



Projects for Summer 2006

The projects will engage undergraduate students in several state-of-the art research projects in Computer Science and Engineering and related fields through individual interaction between students and faculty mentors as well as collaborative work among faculty and students across disciplines. The program provides interesting research opportunities in the areas of Computer Networks, Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, Transportation, Computer Architecture, VLSI design, Image Processing, and Bioinformatics, among others.

Initially, students will be introduced to fundamentals of research, such as methodologies, tools, techniques, literature searches, technical writing, and presentation skills expected to aid them in their forecoming activities and responsibilities. After this introduction, they will work directly on specific research projects. In addition, they will participate in activities designed to promote the exchange of ideas and knowledge, including academic and social activities.

The faculty mentors will closely supervise the students, but as they become more familiar with the techniques and goals of their research, they will be encouraged and allowed to become more independent in their work. In addition, the faculty will participate in planned social events both on and off campus.

Mid-semester, students will be asked to give a 10-minute progress presentation on their research. This activity is aimed to improve the students’ professional presentation skills, to provide valuable feedback to mentors and peers, and will be an important checkpoint of progress.

At the end of the summer session, all students will be required to present their work in the REU poster competition. Cash prizes will be given for the three best poster presentations, with honorable mentions to the following three. In addition, all students will receive a book on research for future reference in their research endeavors.
