Enhancement of the Computer Engineering Academic and Research Program at UPRM

波多黎各大学马亚圭兹分校(UPRM)电气和计算机工程系将获得新的计算资源，以加强现有的学术方案和加强研究工作。这些计算资源是实现以下目标所必需的：在三年内开发计算机工程硕士课程。吸引来自台湾和大陆各州的少数民族学生进入计算机工程专业的职业和研究生教育。显著增加学术期刊的研究产出和技术论文数量。加强计算和互联基础设施，使研究人员能够加入通过在学术界和工业界建立网络而形成的知识和信息密集型环境。建立促进教师发展和创造研究环境的基础设施。制定与制造业相关的研究和开发计划，与行业建立密切联系，并为世界市场培育未来的创业型产品开发。作为这一项目的最终结果，从该机构进入劳动力大军的受过培训的本科生和研究生计算机工程师的数量将在数量和质量上大幅增加。学生和教职员工将能够在他们的学习和研究中使用与工业中使用的计算设备相当的计算设备。教师将能够为政府和行业赞助商进行最先进的研究。

The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering of the University of Puerto Rico at Mayaguez (UPRM) will acquire new computing resources to enhance the established academic programs and strengthen research efforts. These computing resources are required to attain the following goals: Develop a Master's Program in Computer Engineering within three years. Attract minority students, from the island and the mainland states, to careers and graduate education in computer engineering. Increase significantly the research output and the number of technical publications in learned journals. Strengthen the computing and connective infrastructure so that researchers can join the knowledge and information intensive environments made possible through networking within the academic and industrial communities. Build an infrastructure to promote faculty development and to create an environment for research. Develop a program of manufacturing-related research and development that will forge close ties with industry and foster future entrepreneurial product development for a world market. As the final outcome of this project, the number of trained minority computer engineers entering the workforce from the institution at both undergraduate and graduate levels will significantly increase in quantity and quality. The students and faculty will be able to use computing equipment comparable to that used in industry in their studies and their research. Faculty will be able to conduct state of the art research for both government and industry sponsors.
