Second Workshop for High School Students of Mathematics and Science

本次研讨会的目的是加强美国和世界各地数学和科学的各个控制组和高中生之间的合作，关注控制和系统的思想和技术，并提高高中教师和学生对控制和系统技术及其跨学科性质的重要性的普遍认识。控制与系统科学涉及许多不同的学科，其应用涉及各种各样的技术。它涉及各种各样的任务，如建模、识别、仿真、规划、决策和优化。控制和系统的一些应用领域包括运输、制造、通信、加工工业和金融市场。基本控制系统科学影响和影响着各种各样的研究，如生物学、物理学、化学、经济学和医学。提议的研讨会的广泛影响：由于市场压力和技术进步，现代工业对训练有素的系统科学家的需求正在增长和变化。我们的下一代学生必须接受广泛的教育，以应对跨学科的应用和快速变化的技术。我们学生的背景也在改变。他们为使用现代计算机技术做好了更好的准备。因此，对高中数学和科学教育进行重大改革的时机已经成熟。重要的是要开发一套跨学科的例子，演示和实验室练习，以说明整个数学和科学领域的系统和控制。我们将与高中老师分享我们成功的控制故事，现有的工具和实验。通过分享教育经验和实践，我们可以收获很多。

The intellectual merit of the proposed WorkshopThe purpose of this workshop is to enhance the cooperation among various controlgroups and high school students of mathematics and science throughout the United Statesand the world, to give attention to control and systems ideas and technology, and toincrease the general awareness of the importance of control and systems technology andits cross-disciplinary nature among high school teachers and students.Control and Systems Science occurs in many different disciplines and its applicationsoccur in a wide variety of technologies. It involves a variety of tasks, such as, modeling,identification, simulation, planning, decision-making, and optimization.Some application areas of control and systems include transportation, manufacturing,communications, processing industries, and financial markets. The basic control systemsscience influences and impacts a diverse range of study, such as, biology, physics,chemistry, economics, and medicine.The broader impacts of the proposed Workshop:The need of modern industry for well-trained systems scientists is growing and changing,due to the marketplace pressures and the advances in technology. Future generations ofour students will have to be broadly educated to cope with cross-disciplinary applicationsand rapidly changing technology. The backgrounds of our students are changing too.They are better prepared to work with modern computing technologies. Thus the time isripe for major renovations in mathematics and science education in high school. It isimportant to develop a cross-disciplinary set of examples, demonstrations and laboratoryexercises that illustrate systems and control across the entire spectrum of mathematicsand science. We will share with high school teachers our successful control stories,existing tools and experiments. There is much to be gained by the sharing of educationalexperiences and practices.
