The Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) in Visualization, Virtual Environments,
Gaming, and Networking is a National Science Foundation (NSF) funded research program at the University of North
Carolina at Charlotte. With the objective of broadening the participation in computing doctoral programs, the
targeted student participants are women and minority students from minority, women’s, and non-doctoral institutions.
The intellectual focus of the REU Site is on computing research that is being conducted in four UNC Charlotte
labs housed within the College of Computing and Informatics. Undergraduates will work, under the guidance of faculty,
as members of REU lab teams to collaborate on research in the areas of data visualization, virtual environments, digital
gaming, and mobile robotics/networking.
