Undergraduate Faculty Enrichment in Computer Networks

9353950休斯为期两周的暑期研讨会，重点是加强计算机网络领域的本科生教师队伍。来自小型学院/大学的16名计算机科学和工程教员(优先考虑少数民族)接触到了计算机网络的最新发展，重点是局域网、广域网和高速网络。在研讨会通常的一天中，时间平均分配给有关网络概念和理论的讨论，以及涉及各种协议实施和网络设计的实验作业。每个参与者都必须保存一个完整的笔记本，其中包括网络课程和实验室作业，以备将来在其所在机构的网络课程中使用。密歇根州立大学的网络设施，包括计算机科学系的高速网络研究实验室，可供学员参加与研讨会相关的活动。作为拟议项目的后续行动，与会者可以通过电子邮件获得季度通讯。与会者参加了一年一度的专业会议(如计算机科学会议)，并有机会分享经验。在整个讲习班期间，与会者都可以获得计算机网络方面的专家。这次讲习班遵循了一个类似的国家科学基金会计算机网络讲习班的成功模式，该讲习班于1991年夏季获得资助，并在1992年夏季得到延长的支助。***

9353950 Hughes A two-week summer workshop focused on undergraduate faculty enhancement in the area of computer networks. Sixteen computer science and engineering faculty from small colleges/universities (priorities were given to minorities) were exposed to state-of-the-art developments in computer networks, with emphasis on LANs, WANs, and high-speed networks. During a typical day of the workshop, time was equally divided between discussions on network concepts and theory, and laboratory assignments involving various implementations of protocol and network designs. Each participant was required to maintain a complete notebook consisting of network lessons and laboratory assignments for possible use in future network courses at his/her home institution. Michigan State University network facilities, including the Computer Science Department's High-speed Networking Research Laboratory, were available to participants for workshop related activities. As a follow-up of the proposed project, a quarterly newsletter is available to participants via e-mail. Participants attended an annual professional meeting (e.g., Computer Science Conference) and have the opportunity to share experiences. Experts on computer networks were available to participants throughout the workshop. This workshop follows a successful model of a similar NSF computer network workshop, funded for the 1991 summer and received extended support for the summer of 1992. ***
