Research Experiences for Undergraduates: Computing for Disasters
Applications Due March 15, 2014
http://www.cse.tamu.edu/research/reu/computingfordisasters
Disasters pose a comprehensive need for critical real-time computing and information systems where data must be collected, transmitted, transformed, and displayed to stakeholders. 10 students will be offered a specific project at Texas A&M based on their interests and course work as part of the acceptance process. Several of the projects involve unmanned systems and human-robot interaction.
The students work with responders at Disaster City in Week 1 and learn about human-centered design in computing, then from weeks 2-9 work with their faculty and graduate mentors on individual research projects. They also meet weekly as a cohort for brown bag seminars on how to conduct research, career paths, and work/life balance, and in week 10 present at two poster sessions. Students also tour NASA Johnson Space Center and interact with industry and have lots of social experiences.
Details:
The Program runs from June 2 - August 8, 2014
Must be a US Citizen with a 3.0GPA or higher in computer science, computer engineering, or related area.
Students receive $5,000 stipend, on-campus housing or allowance, $1,000 meal allowance, and actual travel costs.
