EEC-9725032 Goldsman, Neil ABSTRACT This award provides funding for a project entitled GEMSTONE: An Interdisciplinary Undergraduate Program Focusing on the Implications of Technology, administered by the Institute for Systems Research (an NSF Engineering Research Center) at the University of Maryland. The goal of the Gemstone program is to give undergraduate students the opportunity to take part in multi-year, inter-disciplinary research projects in some of the most important issues affecting society today--issues that are driven by technological change but with ramifications that go far beyond technology. These research projects in such diverse areas as the environment, medicine, telecommunications, and manufacturing will be part of an academic structure that educates the participants about the issues linking technology to business, law, politics, and social structures, while simultaneously giving the students a chance to apply their new insight to important contemporary problems, challenges, and opportunities.

摘要该奖项为一个名为GEMSTONE的项目提供资金：一个专注于技术影响的跨学科本科项目，由马里兰大学系统研究所（NSF工程研究中心）管理。Gemstone项目的目标是让本科生有机会参与多年的跨学科研究项目，研究影响当今社会的一些最重要的问题——这些问题是由技术变革驱动的，但其影响远远超出了技术范畴。这些研究项目涉及环境、医学、电信和制造业等不同领域，将成为学术结构的一部分，教育参与者将技术与商业、法律、政治和社会结构联系起来的问题，同时让学生有机会将他们的新见解应用于重要的当代问题、挑战和机遇。
