This IGERT award will support the establishment of a multidisciplinary graduate training program of education and research at UCSB in the broad field of interactive digital multimedia. The objective of the program is to train students in a truly interdisciplinary approach to digital multimedia, while preparing them for careers in industry, research, and education. The convergence of digital media, computing, and communication has created new and exciting opportunities in science, engineering, and the arts. The goal of this program is to integrate multiple, diverse approaches to the creation, analysis, deployment, and utilization of digital media within a coherent educational framework of training and research. This multidisciplinary endeavor necessitates collaboration between students and faculty from a broad spectrum of backgrounds and perspectives, including computer science, electrical and computer engineering, psychology, geography, design, composition, and art. Through innovative and interdepartmental courses and seminars, opportunities for internships in industry, and guidance by faculty from several departments, students will gain a unique perspective on interactive multimedia, including the creation, encoding, and distribution of multimedia content, as well as applications of multimedia systems in education, communication, and arts and entertainment. Areas of focus for research and education include image, video, and audio processing, networking, human-computer interaction, graphics and visualization, visual arts, interactive media, and computer music. The graduate training program will emphasize a broad background in several of these areas, while research projects, interactive installations and artistic performances will bring together small, interdisciplinary teams of researchers with diverse expertise. The IGERT-supported program will leverage existing strengths at UCSB in related areas and will involve the participation of several departments. The program will complement the UCSB Media Arts and Technology Program, a masters-level graduate program, by enabling doctoral students from several departments to build upon the current foundation it provides.IGERT is an NSF-wide program intended to meet the challenges of educating U.S. 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 innovative new models for graduate education and training in a fertile environment for collaborative research that transcends traditional disciplinary boundaries. In the fifth year of the program, awards are being made to twenty-one institutions for programs that collectively span the areas of science and engineering supported by NSF.

该IGERT奖将支持UCSB在交互式数字多媒体广泛领域建立多学科的教育和研究研究生培训计划。该计划的目标是培养学生在一个真正的跨学科的方法来数字多媒体，同时为他们在工业，研究和教育的职业生涯做好准备。数字媒体、计算和通信的融合为科学、工程和艺术创造了新的令人兴奋的机会。该计划的目标是在培训和研究的连贯教育框架内整合多种多样的方法来创建，分析，部署和利用数字媒体。这种多学科的奋进需要学生和教师之间的合作，从广泛的背景和观点，包括计算机科学，电气和计算机工程，心理学，地理，设计，组成，和艺术通过创新和跨部门的课程和研讨会，在行业实习的机会，并由教师从几个部门的指导，学生将对互动多媒体有独特的认识，包括多媒体内容的创作，编码和分发，以及多媒体系统在教育，通讯，艺术和娱乐方面的应用。研究和教育的重点领域包括图像，视频和音频处理，网络，人机交互，图形和可视化，视觉艺术，交互式媒体和计算机音乐。研究生培训计划将强调其中几个领域的广泛背景，而研究项目，互动装置和艺术表演将汇集具有不同专业知识的小型跨学科研究人员团队。IGERT支持的计划将利用UCSB在相关领域的现有优势，并将涉及几个部门的参与。该计划将补充UCSB媒体艺术与技术计划，硕士水平的研究生课程，使来自几个部门的博士生建立在它提供的现有基础上。IGERT是一个NSF范围内的计划，旨在应对教育美国博士的挑战。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创新的研究生教育和培训新模式，在超越传统学科界限的合作研究的肥沃环境中促进研究生教育的文化变革。在该计划的第五年，该奖项将颁发给21个机构，这些机构的计划共同跨越了NSF支持的科学和工程领域。
