Interdisciplinary (99) We are refining four undergraduate courses established in Phase I and developing three additional courses offered by the School of Meteorology and the School of Electrical & Computer Engineering. These courses provide hands-on laboratory experiences in the special knowledge and skills necessary for organizing real-time weather data, improving and preparing that data for display, and interpreting its scientific significance. In order to widely disseminate these materials, laboratory modules are being developed for students via an iterative design-implement-test process with results from each step in the process informing successive iterations and leading to increasingly effective implementations. A community of scholars has been developed through this program. Faculty training, student learning, and assessment complete the loop. An assessment plan closely monitors project activities. Moreover, the developed assessment tools identify at-risk students who receive enhanced training. Faculty members teaching project courses participate in special programs to help them utilize currently available topics such as active learning and course design. The project will continue outreach to various meteorological centers and has formed partnerships with at least three other universities, including a minority serving institution. In addition the PI's partner with the Oklahoma Climatological Survey (OCS) to develop project materials for K-12 students and teachers via the OCS EarthStorm outreach program and the NSF digital library.

跨学科（99）我们正在完善第一阶段设立的四个本科课程，并开发气象学院和电气计算机工程学院提供的三个额外课程。这些课程提供了动手实验室经验的特殊知识和必要的技能，组织实时天气数据，改善和准备数据显示，并解释其科学意义。为了广泛传播这些材料，正在通过反复的设计-实施-测试过程为学生开发实验室模块，该过程中每一步的结果都为后续迭代提供信息，并导致越来越有效的实施。通过这一方案发展了一个学者社区。 教师培训，学生学习和评估完成循环。评估计划密切监测项目活动。此外，开发的评估工具确定了接受强化培训的风险学生。教授项目课程的教师参加特别计划，以帮助他们利用当前可用的主题，如主动学习和课程设计。该项目将继续推广到各个气象中心，并与至少三所其他大学建立了伙伴关系，包括一所少数民族服务机构。此外，PI与俄克拉荷马州气候调查（OCS）合作，通过OCS EarthStorm外展计划和NSF数字图书馆为K-12学生和教师开发项目材料。
