提案编号9810709 Steidley，Carl W.;丹内利河斯蒂芬;马里奥·吉马良斯; Jeffress，加里; Michaud，帕特里克;帕特森，冬青; Sadovski，Alex;斯塔福德，马克斯CISE MII：CISE少数民族机构基础设施计划- FY 98重组和加强应用计算机科学计划该奖项支持规划和发展一个全面的蓝图，扩大目前的研究活动和课程的得克萨斯州A& M大学-科珀斯克里斯蒂。 这一蓝图将使该部门招收更多的学生，特别是少数民族学生，进入本科和研究生课程，保留更多的本科生，并提高研究能力。 作为这一进程的一部分，PI希望与其他地区大学达成合作协议，将其硕士生输送到其他博士学位。程序. 活动包括：确定可能产生重大影响的应用研究领域（例如，地理信息系统应用，数学建模和模拟，以及交互系统（包括HCI，分布式系统，超媒体和开发环境）的基本使能技术;确定支持扩展研究计划所需的设备;前往其他大学讨论博士学位。管道社区;制定传播项目成果的计划;寻求其他来源获取研究设备;以及确定课程与其他研究活动之间的联系。

Proposal #9810709 Steidley, Carl W.; Dannelly, R. Stephen; Guimaraes, Mario; Jeffress, Gary; Michaud, Patrick; Patterson, Holly; Sadovski, Alex; Stafford, Max CISE MII: CISE Minority Institutions Infrastructure Program-- FY 98 Restructuring and Enhancing an Applied Computer Science Program This award supports the planning and development of a comprehensive blueprint for expanding the current research activities and curriculum of Texas A&M University - Corpus Christi. This blueprint will enable the department to recruit more students, particularly minority students, into both undergraduate and graduate programs, retain more undergraduates, and increase the research capacity. As part of this process, the PIs expect to develop cooperative agreements with other regional universities to pipeline their master's students into other Ph.D. programs. Activities include: identifying areas of applied research which can have a significant impact (e.g., GIS applications, mathematical modeling and simulation, and fundamental enabling technologies for interactive systems including HCI, distributed systems, hypermedia and development environments); identifying equipment needed to support an expanded research program; traveling to other universities to discuss the Ph.D. pipeline community; developing a plan for disseminating the results for project; pursuing other sources for acquiring research equipment; and identifying linkages between courses and additional research activities.
