IGERT Full Proposal: Integrative Graduate Education and Research Training in Advanced Networking

9987586 Scott Midkiff-弗吉尼亚理工学院和州立大学IGERT：高级网络综合研究生教育和研究培训这个综合研究生教育和研究培训(IGERT)奖支持建立一个多学科、多校区的高级网络教育和研究研究生培训计划。在这个项目中，来自计算机工程、电气工程、计算机科学、工业和系统工程以及商业的学生将与技术开发人员以及来自行业和政府的高级用户合作，进行多学科研究，目标是将未来的互联网视为共同的、无处不在的全球通信基础设施。该计划将整合宽带无线接入、移动接入互联网资源和应用、互联网设备、服务质量、异质网络安全以及大规模网络管理的研究。该教育计划培养学生进行研究的能力，整合技术、商业、监管和全球问题的能力，在分散的、不同文化的多学科团队中有效工作，有效沟通，并以道德和专业的方式行事。该计划利用现有的大学投资，在两个地点创建了这个最先进的分布式研究生教育和研究培训计划。弗吉尼亚理工学院的亚历山大研究所提供了与工业和政府合作伙伴的途径，以及多学科和国际项目的基础。位于布莱克斯堡的主校区提供了该大学传统的研究优势和先进的网络基础设施。稳定招生计划至少招收19名学生，平均每年有5至6名美国博士毕业生。IGERT是一个NSF范围的项目，旨在应对培养具有多学科背景以及未来职业需求所需的技术、专业和个人技能的博士科学家和工程师的挑战。该项目旨在通过建立新的、创新的研究生教育和培训模式，在一个超越传统学科界限的合作研究的肥沃环境中，催化研究生教育的文化变革。在该计划的第三年，19个机构被授予奖项，这些项目共同涵盖了NSF支持的所有科学和工程领域。这一具体奖项的知识焦点位于计算机和信息科学与工程；工程；社会、行为和经济科学；以及教育和人力资源理事会。

9987586Scott Midkiff - Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State UniversityIGERT: Integrative Graduate Education and Research Training in Advanced NetworkingThis Integrative Graduate Education and Research Training (IGERT) award supports the establishment of a multidisciplinary, multi-campus, graduate training program of education and research on advanced networking. In this program, students from computer engineering, electrical engineering, computer science, industrial and systems engineering, and business will work with technology developers and advanced users from industry and government on multidisciplinary research targeted at the vision of the future Internet as the common, ubiquitous and global communications infrastructure. The program will integrate research on broadband wireless access, mobile access to Internet resources and applications, Internet appliances, quality of service, heterogeneous network security, and management of large-scale networks. The educational program develops students' ability to conduct research, integrate technical, business, regulatory, and global issues, work effectively in distributed, culturally diverse, multidisciplinary teams, communicate effectively, and conduct themselves in an ethical and professional manner. The program leverages existing university investments to create this state-of-the-art distributed graduate education and research training program at two sites. Virginia Tech's Alexandria Research Institute provides access to industrial and government partners and a foundation in multidisciplinary and international programs. The main campus in Blacksburg provides access to the university's traditional research strengths and advanced networking infrastructure. Steady-state enrollment is to be at least 19 students, with an average of five to six U.S. Ph.D. graduates per year.IGERT is an NSF-wide program intended to meet the challenges of educating Ph.D. scientists and engineers with the multidisciplinary backgrounds and the technical, professional, and personal skills needed for the career demands of the future. The program is intended to catalyze a cultural change in graduate education by establishing new, innovative models for graduate education and training in a fertile environment for collaborative research that transcends traditional disciplinary boundaries. In the third year of the program, awards are being made to nineteen institutions for programs that collectively span all areas of science and engineering supported by NSF. The intellectual foci of this specific award reside in the Directorates for Computer and Information Science and Engineering; Engineering; Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences; and Education and Human Resources.
