Introduction

This NSF REU site in the Department of Electrical Engineering of Wright State University offers an eleven-week summer program that aims at providing a diverse group of motivated undergraduates with competitive research experiences in intelligent autonomous vehicles. The goal of this program is:

• To expose students to the emerging areas of intelligent vehicles.
• To develop and apply technical expertise in intelligent vehicles and in STEM.
• To develop professional research skills as well as effective presentation and writing skills.
• To encourage retention and graduate studies in STEM through REU achievements.
• To reach out to women and underrepresented minorities and engage them in research opportunities.
