NSF CAREER Workshop at the 2005 Construction Research Congress (CRC); April 5-6, 2005; San Diego, CA

摘要-这个研讨会的目的是为潜在的主要研究人员谁可能提交建议，土木机械系统（CMS）的基础设施信息系统（IIS）计划，讨论在一个非正式的设置与2005年ASCE建筑研究大会的研究教育问题。 研讨会参与者在前一天晚上登记，他们被分配到一个工作组，并收到一个“模拟”研究提案;参与者在研讨会开始前审查提案。 研讨会在第二天的午餐期间开始，有介绍性发言和两个主题演讲：第一个关于研究方法和验证，第二个关于将研究纳入教育。 然后，研讨会的参与者分成工作组，评估和报告“模拟”研究提案的有效性。 具体而言，要求与会者根据主旨发言人提供的信息、与会者自己的想法和/或工作组内的讨论，就如何改进“模拟”提案提出建议。 工作组会议的进行很像NSF评审小组。 研讨会结束时，一般小组讨论的优点和缺点的模拟提案。 拟议活动的主要目标是：（1）确定、邀请和召集一个选定的多学科学术专家组，这些专家的专门知识属于国际空间站的使命，（2）围绕研究方法和研究与教育的一体化，在国际空间站学术界之间建立一致性。从学术价值的角度来看，本次研讨会旨在进行有意义和有重点的对话，并以独特，综合和整体的方式，IIS的学术界来自多个学科的专家，通常没有太多的机会相互交流。从更广泛的影响角度来看，该项目积极参与土木和机械系统（CMS）基础设施信息系统（IIS）计划所服务的学术界。学术界的这种积极参与无疑将提高和加强IIS计划内所涉及的知识领域的研究和教育基础设施。

Abstract---------------This workshop is intended for potential principal investigators who may submit proposals to the Division of Civil & Mechanical Systems' (CMS) Infrastructure & Information Systems (IIS) Program to discuss issues of research & education within an informal setting in conjunction with the 2005 ASCE Construction Research Congress. Workshop participants register the night prior where they are assigned to a working group and receive a "mock" research proposal; participants review the proposal before the workshop begins. The workshop commences during lunch the following day with introductory remarks and two keynote presentations: the first about research methodology and validation and the second about integrating research into education. Then, workshop participants break into their working groups to evaluate and report on the effectiveness of the "mock" research proposal. Specifically, participants are asked to provide suggestions on how the "mock" proposal could be improved based on the information provided by the keynote speakers, the participant's own ideas and/or the discussions within the working groups. The working group sessions are conducted much like an NSF review panel. The workshop concludes with a general panel discussion about the strengths and weaknesses of the mock proposal. The main goals of the proposed activity are: (1) to identify, invite, and bring together a select multi-disciplinary group of academic experts, which expertise fall within ISS' mission, and (2) to create alignment between the IIS' academic community around research methodology and the integration of research and education. From an intellectual merit perspective, this workshop is designed to engage in a meaningful and focused dialogue, and also, in a unique, integrated, and holistic way, the IIS's academic community of experts from multiple disciplines that normally do not have many opportunities within which to interact with each other. From a broader impact perspective, this project engages actively the academic community served by the Civil and Mechanical Systems' (CMS) Infrastructure & Information Systems (IIS) Program. This active engagement of the academic community will enhance and strengthen undoubtedly the infrastructure for research and education in the knowledge domains addressed within the IIS program.
