Additionally, the program seeks to encourageinterns to pursue further research opportunities and consider graduate studies.The TTE REU program targets community college students for several reasons. First,community colleges offer a very important service to their communities: broad and low-costaccess to lower-division instruction. However, this focus on teaching means they offer littleinfrastructure for faculty or students to conduct scientific research. As such, community collegestudents have limited access to hands-on learning and understanding of the scientific researchprocess. For most interns, the TTE REU program is their very first research experience. Second,community colleges enroll more students

However, the computer science studentswould not benefit from this since it would cover material not needed in their curriculum.Additionally it would be difficult to find sufficient material to cover without using hardwaredevices.The best option appeared to be modifying the existing Microprocessors course. The updatedcourse would expose the students to soft-core processors utilizing FPGAs. This is relevanttechnology also used by practicing engineers.
