Unidata Summer Workshop 2006: Expanding the Use of Models in the Atmospheric and Related Sciences; Boulder, Colorado; July 10-14, 2006

这是一个计划于2006年7月10日至14日在科罗拉多州博尔德举行的研讨会，研讨会的标题是“扩大使用模型作为大气和相关科学的教育工具”。“研讨会的主要目标是：1）为教师提供一种在传统的本科和研究生课程中扩大使用计算模型的方法，这将有助于学生熟悉数值模型，显示软件和基于网络的脚本语言，同时允许动手，可视化的方法已经由我们社区的教师开发; 2）促进社区教师开发的现有资源的共享;这种共享将使我们能够相互学习如何最好地将简单模型包装为教育工具; 3）层次（即，大一到大四的本科生和研究生）。 也就是说，什么概念是必不可少的融入我们的课程，什么知识和专业知识，我们应该切实期待在我们的毕业生与数值建模？ 有关目标包括：（一）收集一套模型（及配套教材），用于向本科生和研究生讲授大气科学基本概念;（二）确定和开发计算和可视化技术的创造性用途，作为“动手”教学工具，提供给讲习班参加者。

This is a workshop scheduled for July 10-14, 2006 in Boulder, CO. The workshop is entitled "Expanding the Use of Models as Educational Tools in the Atmospheric and Related Sciences." The primary goals of the workshop are to: 1) provide a means for faculty to expand the use of computational models in traditional undergraduate and graduate courses, which will serve to help familiarize students with numerical models, display software, and web-based scripting languages, while allowing a hands-on, visual approach that have been developed by the faculty in our community; 2) promote the sharing of existing resources that have been developed by the faculty in our community; this sharing will allow us to learn from one another as to how to best package simple models as educational tools; 3) levels (i.e., freshman to senior undergraduate students, and graduate students). That is, what concepts are essential to integrate into our courses, and what knowledge and proficiencies should we realistically expect in our graduates with regard to numerical modeling? Related objectives include (i) assembling a collection of models (and accompanying educational packaging) designed for use in teaching fundamental concepts of atmospheric science to undergraduate and graduate students; (ii) identifying and developing creative uses of computational and visualization technology for use as "hands on" instructional tools to be made available to workshop participants.
