Summer Program for Interdisciplinary Research and Education – Emerging Interface Technologies
Funded by NSF grant IIS-0851976
SPIRE-EIT is a 10-week research experiences for undergraduates program that combines classroom training with hands-on research projects. The REU interns form 5 research teams led by HCI faculty and Iowa State University graduate students. Over the course of the summer, REU interns create new technological solutions to challenges in human computer interaction. Students get to tour many local attractions and participate in a variety of group social activities that give them a better understanding of life in Iowa.
