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.

该 CI-TEAM 实施项目将部署一个协作在线学习实验室，该实验室利用一套基于网络基础设施的共享存储库、设计工具和教材来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、斯威特布莱尔学院和诺福克州立大学。 该项目涉及这些大学的 32 名教师，来自工程、工程教育、计算机科学、信息科学与技术、教育和心理学等 12 个不同学科。 该合作机构将利用多项正在进行的与网络基础设施相关的活动，为当前和未来几代多学科的教育工作者和工程师以及计算机科学家和信息科学技术领域的人员提供可持续的学习和劳动力发展。这个协作实施项目的结果将建立一个独特的网络基础设施闭环应用，它不仅将工程和 CS/IST 结合在 CI 相关活动中，而且还审查了 拟议合作的可用性的影响。 该项目将产生重大而广泛的影响，超过 12,000 名工程和 CS/IST 学生将参与该合作。 作为该项目的一部分，将对 12,000 名参与工程和 CS/IST 学生的教育影响和 CI 能力（包括用户对通过合作实验室提供的材料的采用情况）进行评估。 该项目还将通过与两个外展合作伙伴合作，促进不同群体和组织参与网络基础设施活动：斯威特布莱尔学院（一所女子学院）和诺福克州立大学（一所历史悠久的黑人大学）。 针对 REU 学生的有针对性的招聘计划以及现有的 K-12 合作伙伴关系和未来的 RET 将进一步增加代表性不足群体的参与，以促进多样化的、精通 CI 的劳动力队伍。 为了促进合作机构的长期可持续性，将开发基于教育材料的工程解剖教科书，将组织一个针对工程和 CS/IST 教育者的国家培训研讨会，并且一个国家超级计算中心将有助于提供存储库数据的长期存储和安全性。
