This project will encourage the use of the cyberinfrastructure by a wide range of faculty and students, make contributions to improve middleware and grid computing applications so that they can be used by that wider audience, enhance the curricular choices for undergraduate students, and promote the development of a workforce of both minority and traditional students to serve the increasing needs of US business, industry, and education.Working with the Ohio Board of Regents and the faculty at eight Ohio colleges and universities, the Principal Investigators from the Ohio Supercomputer Center, Capital University, and the Ohio Learning Network will infuse cyberinfrastructure into a broader spectrum of institutions through an inter-institutional computational science undergraduate education and research program.Specifically this project will: 1) integrate the cyberinfrastructure (i.e., middleware, high performance computing, networking, mass storage and visualization tools and resources) into the computational science curriculum; 2) develop sharable educational materials (modules) deploying existing cyberinfrastructure; 3) develop a set of guidelines for a model computational science undergraduate program; 4) develop guidelines for inter-institutional cooperation (i.e., tuition sharing, awarding credits etc); 5) increase the diversity of students in computational science education.The outcomes will also include curriculum guidelines and inter-institutional agreements to propagate the computational science discipline at community colleges, undergraduate liberal arts and comprehensive colleges, minority serving institutions, and Research I universities. This project will provide educational benefits to a diverse group of students from a variety of backgrounds and will incorporate a serious evaluation and assessment component to help understand how to scale this activity widely beyond Ohio and into further educational areas in the in the K-20 educational pipeline. The project will also incorporate external industrial advisors to assure relevance of the curriculum and education training for the modern workforce.

该项目将鼓励广泛的教师和学生使用网络基础设施，为改进中间件和网格计算应用程序做出贡献，使其能够被更广泛的受众使用，增强本科生的课程选择，并促进少数民族和传统学生的劳动力的发展，以满足美国商业，工业，与俄亥俄州董事会和八所俄亥俄州学院和大学的教师合作，来自俄亥俄州超级计算机中心、首都大学、俄亥俄州学习网络将通过一个跨部门的网络基础设施，机构计算科学本科教育和研究计划。具体来说，该项目将：1）整合网络基础设施（即，中间件、高性能计算、网络、大容量存储和可视化工具和资源）纳入计算科学课程; 2）开发部署现有网络基础设施的可共享教育材料（模块）; 3）为模型计算科学本科课程开发一套指导方针; 4）为机构间合作开发指导方针（即，5）增加计算科学教育学生的多样性，其成果还将包括课程指南和机构间协议，以在社区学院、本科文科和综合学院、少数民族服务机构和研究I大学传播计算科学学科。该项目将为来自各种背景的学生提供教育福利，并将纳入一个认真的评估和评估组件，以帮助了解如何将此活动广泛扩展到俄亥俄州以外，并进入K-20教育管道中的进一步教育领域。该项目还将纳入外部工业顾问，以确保课程和教育培训与现代劳动力的相关性。
