The ACM Special Interest Group in Data Communications (SIGCOMM) will sponsor a one-day workshop on "Networking Education: How to Educate the Educators?" on August 25, 2003, preceding the annual ACM SIGCOMM conference in Karlsruhe, Germany. The goal of the workshop is to bring together faculty from a broad spectrum of academic institutions, industry engineers and scientists, and others with an interest in education to discuss curriculum design and teaching practices in the field of computer networks. This workshop is the successor of the very successful workshop "Workshop on Computer Networking: Curriculum Designs and Educational Challenges" held in conjunction with SIGCOMM2002.This workshop will focus on (i) tips and advice for new computer networking instructors, (ii) the refinement of the model curricula for a first (undergraduate) course in networking, (iii) the continuing evolution of graduate-level curricula in the area, and (iv) variations in the way that computer networking is taught around the world. The workshop will provide an opportunity to discuss these and other related issues; to share viewpoints, experiences, and materials; and to learn what others are doing, and considering doing in the area. The workshop will produce a report detailing the attendees' discussions and will serve as a springboard for future activity in the area.The intellectual merit of this request is clear. The goal is to improve the way that Computer Networking is taught to the next generation of Information Technology experts. The students that we are teaching now will support the infrastructure that drives our economy and allows rapid advances in all of the other areas of science, engineering, and technology.One of the direst results from the incredible expansion of the IT industry in the 1990s was that many students who would otherwise have gone on to earn a PhD in Computer Networking-related fields went to industry instead. This left the Computer Networking field with a large 5 to 10 year void in the production of new professors for academia in the IT area. We see this workshop as an opportunity to regroup and make up for lost opportunities in assisting the newest group of networking educators in training the next generation of IT professionals. This proposal requests funding to assist up to 16 United States-based faculty members to attend and participate in this workshop. The awards will be primarily targeted at faculty from 4-year colleges and universities who would not otherwise have the funds to attend the workshop or ACM SIGCOMM 2003. Given that the workshop is targeted broadly at all faculty in the computer networking area (not just those with the research funds to attend SIGCOMM), the grant will help broaden the base of participants, and serve to make the workshop a truly community-wide event.

ACM数据通信特别兴趣小组（SIGCOMM）将主办为期一天的研讨会，主题是“网络教育：如何教育教育工作者？2003年8月25日，在德国卡尔斯鲁厄举行的ACM SIGCOMM年会之前。研讨会的目标是汇集来自学术机构，工业工程师和科学家，以及其他对教育感兴趣的教师，讨论计算机网络领域的课程设计和教学实践。该研讨会是非常成功的研讨会“计算机网络研讨会：课程设计与教育挑战”，研讨会将集中讨论（i）为新入职电脑网络教师提供的建议，（ii）为首次参加网络课程（本科），（iii）该领域研究生课程的不断发展，以及（iv）世界各地计算机网络教学方式的变化。讲习班将提供一个机会，讨论这些问题和其他相关问题;分享观点、经验和材料;了解其他人在该领域正在做什么和考虑做什么。研讨会将产生一份报告，详细说明与会者的讨论，并将作为该领域未来活动的跳板。目标是改善计算机网络教授给下一代信息技术专家的方式。我们现在所教的学生将支持推动我们经济的基础设施，并允许科学，工程和技术的所有其他领域的快速进步。20世纪90年代IT行业令人难以置信的扩张所带来的最可怕的结果之一是，许多原本可以继续获得计算机网络相关领域博士学位的学生转而进入了工业。这使得计算机网络领域在为IT领域的学术界培养新教授方面存在5到10年的空白。我们认为这个研讨会是一个机会，重新组合，并弥补失去的机会，协助最新的网络教育工作者在培训下一代的IT专业人员。这项提案要求提供资金，以协助最多16名驻美国的教员出席和参加这一讲习班。该奖项将主要针对来自四年制学院和大学的教师，否则他们将没有资金参加研讨会或ACM SIGCOMM 2003。由于工作坊的对象是计算机网络领域的所有学院（而不仅仅是那些有研究基金参加SIGCOMM的学院），这笔补助金将有助于扩大参与者的基础，并使工作坊成为真正的社区活动。
