9987586斯科特Midkiff -弗吉尼亚理工学院和州立大学IGERT：综合研究生教育和研究培训在先进的网络这个综合研究生教育和研究培训（IGERT）奖支持教育和研究的多学科，多校区，研究生培训计划的建立先进的网络。 在该计划中，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来自工业和政府的技术开发人员和高级用户一起进行多学科研究，目标是将未来互联网作为共同，无处不在和全球通信基础设施的愿景。 该计划将整合宽带无线接入，移动的接入互联网资源和应用，互联网设备，服务质量，异构网络安全和大规模网络管理的研究。 该教育计划培养学生进行研究，整合技术，商业，监管和全球问题的能力，在分布式，文化多样性，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。弗吉尼亚理工大学的亚历山大研究所为工业和政府合作伙伴提供了机会，并为多学科和国际项目奠定了基础。布莱克斯堡的主校区提供了大学传统研究优势和先进的网络基础设施。 稳定状态下的入学人数至少为19名学生，平均有5到6名美国博士。IGERT是一个NSF范围内的计划，旨在满足教育博士的挑战。科学家和工程师与多学科背景和技术，专业和个人技能所需的未来的职业需求。 该计划旨在通过建立新的，创新的研究生教育和培训模式，促进研究生教育的文化变革，为超越传统学科界限的合作研究创造肥沃的环境。在该计划的第三年，该奖项将颁发给19个机构，这些机构的计划涵盖了NSF支持的所有科学和工程领域。这个特定奖项的知识焦点位于计算机和信息科学与工程局;工程;社会，行为和经济科学;以及教育和人力资源。

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.
