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市举行的研讨会。这次研讨会的题目是“在大气及相关科学中扩大模型作为教育工具的使用”。工作坊的主要目标是：1)为教师提供一种方法，让他们在传统的本科和研究生课程中扩大计算模型的使用，这将有助于帮助学生熟悉数值模型、显示软件和基于Web的脚本语言，同时允许我们社区的教师开发出动手的、可视化的方法；2)促进社区中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打包为教育工具；3)在不同的层次(即，一年级到四年级的本科生和研究生)。也就是说，将哪些概念整合到我们的课程中是必不可少的，以及我们应该现实地期望我们的毕业生在数值建模方面拥有哪些知识和熟练程度？相关目标包括：(1)收集用于向本科生和研究生讲授大气科学基本概念的模型(以及附带的教育资料)；(2)查明和开发计算和可视化技术的创造性用途，将其作为“动手”教学工具提供给讲习班学员。

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.
