2013 Program Dates:
May 30 – August 2, 2013
This REU program is
sponsored by the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science
at Washington State University. WSU is located in Pullman, Washington,
a small town in the Palouse region of Eastern Washington. The program
consists of 10 weeks working with top research professors and graduate
students at WSU. During this time, REU participants will assist in
designing smart environments. In addition to taking a 3-hour research
methods course, participants will perform hands-on research on topics
including design of sensor networks, middleware, machine learning
algorithms, and automation algorithms, and will investigate
applications of smart environments to health monitoring and energy
conservation. Most research ideas will be tested using two on-campus
smart environments, and students will present their research results in
a poster session at the end of the ten week period. Travel support is
available for students who submit their work to a research-related
conference.
This WSU/EECS REU program is funded by National Science Foundation grant IIS-0647705.
