Human Interface Design for Access to Computers and Networked Information - Panning for Gold: Information Discovery on the Information Super-Highway

9554517 Sameh该提案概述了一项计划，旨在招募和培训一批高质量的研究生，重点关注通过人机界面设计访问计算机和网络信息的信息高速公路上的信息发现的重要领域。 该计划建立在教师在这一领域的卓越，以创建一个重点研究计划，这将使明尼苏达州在这一新兴领域的领导者。 该计划还包含几个inlovative组件，将确保我们能够招募到高质量的学生，包括女性和有色人种的学生，他们目前在计算机科学领域的代表性严重不足。而且，它为这些学生提供了一个完整的毕业生经验，包括工业实习，培训和教学实践，以及一个支持性的，指导性的环境。 在其完成后，该计划将产生博士学位，完全有能力成为研究型大学和一流学院的生产力教师。 在这个过程中，我们希望建立一条管道，将霍华德大学和瓦萨学院最优秀的毕业生带到明尼苏达大学攻读研究生学位。

9554517 Sameh This proposal outlines a plan for recruiting and training a set of high-quality graduate students focusing on the important area of information discovery on the information super-highway through human interface design for access to computers and networked information. The plan builds upon faculty excellence in this area to create a focused program of research that will make Minnesota a leader in this emerging area. The plan also contains several inlovative components that will ensure that we can recruit top- quality students, including women and students of color, who are currently severely underrepresented in computer science. And, it provides a complete graduate experience for these students including industrial internships, training and practice in teaching, and a supportive, mentored environment. At its completion, this program will produce PhDs that are fully capable of becoming productive faculty members at research universities and top- ranked colleges. In the process, we hope to establish a pipeline bringing the best graduates from Howard University and Vassar College to the University of Minnesota for graduate degree.
