Project Summary The goal of this project is to enrich a vital yet historically neglected segment of the science and technology education community. Rooted in a collaborative effort among Alfred State College, Jamestown Community College, Corning Incorporated, and Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL), the intent is to create an accessible, self-perpetuating, 'real world' capstone experience for students in isolated, rural two-year colleges. The four institutions will partner to develop lead teams composed of student and faculty collaborators who will participate in two consecutive summer internships at BNL. The various teams, drawn from the participating colleges, will work on problems selected by staff members at both Corning and BNL. Problems will span the gamut from computer science to biotechnology and will take advantage of capabilities unique to BNL or Corning: notably a scientific visualization facility, advanced scientific instruments, and cutting edge material science. Following internship, the lead teams will transmit and transport these projects to their home campuses, and will involve other faculty and students. This project will represent a next step in distance education. It creates an extended learning community which emphasizes campus-based, real time interactions among participants at different sites. The early projects will involve construction of scientific visualization facilities at the two campuses and mastery of selected measurement techniques at BNL. Later projects win focus on problems for which a combination of measurement capabilities and visualization technology are uniquely helpful. The project addresses the DUE themes of technical experiences for students and faculty in a real world setting, faculty development, and integration of technology in education.

该项目的目标是丰富科学和技术教育界一个重要但历史上被忽视的部分。在阿尔弗雷德州立学院、詹姆斯敦社区学院、康宁公司和布鲁克海文国家实验室（BNL）的共同努力下，该项目旨在为偏远农村两年制大学的学生创造一个可访问的、自我延续的、“真实世界”的顶点体验。这四家机构将合作建立由学生和教师组成的领导团队，他们将参加BNL连续两个夏季实习。来自各院校的不同团队将解决由康宁和BNL的工作人员选择的问题。问题将跨越从计算机科学到生物技术的范围，并将利用BNL或康宁的独特能力：特别是科学可视化设施，先进的科学仪器和尖端的材料科学。实习结束后，领导团队将把这些项目传递到他们的家乡校园，并让其他教师和学生参与其中。这个项目将代表远程教育的下一步。它创建了一个扩展的学习社区，强调在不同地点的参与者之间以校园为基础的实时互动。早期的项目将包括在两个校区建设科学可视化设施，并在BNL掌握选定的测量技术。后来的项目会关注那些测量能力和可视化技术的结合是唯一有用的问题。该项目解决了学生和教师在现实世界中的技术体验、教师发展和技术在教育中的整合等DUE主题。
