This CI-TEAM Implementation Project will deploy a collaborative online learning laboratory that utilizes a shared set of cyberinfrastructure-based repositories, design tools, and teaching materials to support educational initiatives and outreach rooted in engineering dissection. The collaboratory will support both physical and virtual dissection of engineered products and systems in 41 engineering, computer science (CS), and information sciences and technology (IST) courses at 9 different universities: Penn State, Bucknell University, Drexel University, Virginia Tech, Northwestern University, University of Missouri-Rolla, University at Buffalo, Sweet Briar College, and Norfolk State University. The project involves 32 faculty at these universities from 12 different disciplines in engineering, engineering education, computer science, information sciences and technology, education, and psychology. The collaboratory will leverage several ongoing cyberinfrastructure-related activities to deliver sustainable learning and workforce development for current and future generations of educators and engineers in multiple disciplines as well as computer scientists and those involved with information sciences and technology.The results of this collaborative implementation project will establish a unique closed-loop application of cyberinfrastructure that combines not only engineering and CS/IST in CI-related activities but also examines the implications of the availability of the proposed collaboratory. The project will have significant and broad impact, as more than 12,000 engineering and CS/IST students will participate in the collaboratory. As part of the project, the educational impact and CI competency of the 12,000 participating engineering and CS/IST students, including user adoption of the materials available through the collaboratory, will be assessed. The project will also foster the inclusion of diverse groups of people and organizations in cyberinfrastructure activities by working with two outreach partners: Sweet Briar College, an all women's college, and Norfolk State University, an Historically Black University. Targeted recruiting plans for REU students along with existing K-12 partnerships and future RETs will further increase the participation of underrepresented groups to promote a diverse CI-savvy workforce. To promote long-term sustainability of the collaboratory, an engineering dissection textbook based on the educational materials that will be developed, a national training workshop for engineering and CS/IST educators will be organized, and a national supercomputing center will help provide long-term storage and security of the repository data.

这个CI-TEAM实施项目将部署一个协作在线学习实验室，该实验室利用一套共享的基于网络基础设施的知识库、设计工具和教材，以支持植根于工程解剖的教育计划和推广。 该合作实验室将支持9所不同大学的41门工程、计算机科学（CS）和信息科学与技术（IST）课程中的工程产品和系统的物理和虚拟解剖：宾夕法尼亚州立大学、巴克内尔大学、德雷克塞尔大学、弗吉尼亚理工大学、西北大学、密苏里大学-罗拉分校、布法罗大学、斯威特布里亚学院和诺福克州立大学。 该项目涉及这些大学的32名教师，他们来自工程、工程教育、计算机科学、信息科学和技术、教育和心理学等12个不同学科。 该合作实验室将利用几个正在进行的与网络基础设施相关的活动，为当前和未来几代教育工作者和多学科工程师以及计算机科学家和从事信息科学和技术的人员提供可持续的学习和劳动力发展。IST在CI相关的活动，但也研究了拟议的合作实验室的可用性的影响。 该项目将产生重大而广泛的影响，因为超过12，000名工程和CS/IST学生将参加合作实验室。 作为该项目的一部分，将评估12，000名参与工程和CS/IST学生的教育影响和CI能力，包括通过合作实验室提供的材料的用户采用。 该项目还将通过与两个外联伙伴合作，促进将不同群体和组织纳入网络基础设施活动：Sweet Briar学院（一所女子学院）和诺福克州立大学（一所历史上的黑人大学）。 针对REU学生的有针对性的招聘计划沿着现有的K-12伙伴关系和未来的RET将进一步增加代表性不足的群体的参与，以促进多元化的CI精明的劳动力。 为了促进合作实验室的长期可持续发展，将根据即将开发的教育材料编写一本工程解剖教科书，为工程和CS/IST教育工作者组织一次全国培训研讨会，并建立一个国家超级计算中心，以帮助提供长期服务。存储库数据的存储和安全性。
