Since the summer of 2006, the department of Mechanical Engineering at Oakland University (OU) has been organizing a research experience for undergraduates (REU) program that has been successful at recruiting underrepresented undergraduates in engineering — women in particular. Funded in 2006–2009 and in 2010–2013 through the National Science Foundation REU program and the Department of Defense ASSURE program, this summer REU program focuses on automotive and energy-related research projects. The main purpose of this paper is to share our 6-year experience of organizing and running a summer REU program and to report on the outcomes and short/medium-term assessment results of the program. Also included are some recommendations that we would make to further enhance the success of similar REU programs. We believe that this type of information could prove to be of value to other REU program directors and faculty seeking to organize similar programs.

O objetivo desse artigo é demonstrar o papel desempenhado pelo Estado norte-americano no fomento aos setores industriais ligados à computação. Essa investigação se centra tanto no papel do Estado no processo de catching up desses setores industriais, como em seu papel no decorrer de seu processo de consolidação. Assim, o artigo busca problematizar a ideia de que o Estado norte-americano constitui um modelo de Estado que intervém pouco na economia, o que fica claro a partir da apreciação de seu apoio aos setores industriais ligados à computação. Para ilustrar a atuação do governo norte-americano em prol desses setores industriais, essa investigação se valerá da análise de quatro casos históricos: o Semi-Automatic Ground Environment; o National Science Foundation; o Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency; o Semiconductor Manufacturing Technology Consortium. Com isso, espera-se apresentar as nuances do apoio do Estado norte-americano a esses setores estratégicos da economia, o que já foi destacado por importantes contribuições teóricas, especialmente Mazzucato (2014), Chang (2004) e Block (2008), os quais abordaram essa questão de forma mais geral. Para tanto, foi analisada uma ampla literatura mais específica que tratou de analisar o desenvolvimento desses setores industriais nos Estados Unidos.
