This award provides funding to Portland State University under the direction of Dr. Shu-Guang Li, for the support of a Combined Research-Curriculum Development project enttiled, "VIRGE: Virtual Interactive Remediation in the Groundwater Environment-An Action Oriented Curriculum Innovation in Environmental Engineering. The objective of this collaborative project is to develop an innovative, computer-based virtual environment for teaching students how to investigate and clean up contaminated groundwater sites. This system is called Virtual Interactive Remediation in the Groundwater Environment or VIRGE. VIRGE is to be implemented and evaluated in undergraduate and graduate courses in three different academic departments at two universities (Portland State University and Oregon State University). VIRGE incorporates learning theory and cognitive-sciences research that promotes student-based learning styles. Using the practical and engaging context of groundwater remediation, VIRGE integrates the student's education and research roles, and stresses active, collaborative learning with less dependence on lectures. A key goal of VIRGE is to utilize emerging information technologies and network communication to develop each student's practical problem solving skills, critical thinking abilities, and capability to engage in lifelong learning.

该奖项为波特兰州立大学在李曙光博士的指导下提供资金，以支持一个名为“VIRGE：地下水环境中的虚拟交互式修复-环境工程中以行动为导向的课程创新”的联合研究-课程开发项目。这个合作项目的目标是开发一个创新的，基于计算机的虚拟环境，教学生如何调查和清理受污染的地下水网站。该系统被称为地下水环境虚拟交互式修复或VIRGE。 VIRGE将在两所大学（波特兰州立大学和俄勒冈州州立大学）的三个不同学术系的本科生和研究生课程中实施和评估。 VIRGE结合了学习理论和认知科学研究，促进了以学生为基础的学习方式。 利用地下水修复的实际和引人入胜的背景下，VIRGE整合了学生的教育和研究角色，并强调积极，协作学习，减少对讲座的依赖。 Virge的一个主要目标是利用新兴的信息技术和网络通信来发展每个学生的实际解决问题的能力，批判性思维能力和终身学习的能力。
