This Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship (IGERT) award supports the development of a multidisciplinary and multi-institutional graduate training program of education and research in Intelligent Diagnostics at Northeastern University and the University of Puerto Rico at Mayaguez with partnerships with more than a dozen industrial and government partners. A unifying framework for research and education in Intelligent Diagnostics emphasizes hands-on experience and the use of a suite of experimental TestBEDs for education and research. Experts in civil engineering, computer/signal processing and public policy educate trainees to address the national need for experts in intelligent diagnostics. Trainees participate in a unifying "Boot Camp," research workshops, short courses, weekly round tables, and an Urban Studio with integration of policy; they benefit from industry and government partnerships throughout their training. The structured interdisciplinary education and training approach to early recognition and successful management of creeping damage associated with aging civil infrastructure systems will prepare graduates to address intelligent diagnostics in a wide range of physical systems. The goal for trainees is to learn how to systematically monitor the health of society's civil infrastructure, prescribe cost effective procedures for the remediation of problems, and prevent catastrophic collapse, all within the context of public policy. The program fosters disciplinary and cultural background diversity. Graduates will be diagnostic engineers whose training integrates advanced detection and diagnostics methods, understanding of physical systems and economic and management issues. IGERT is an NSF-wide program intended to meet the challenges of educating U.S. Ph.D. scientists and engineers with the interdisciplinary background, deep knowledge in a chosen discipline, and the technical, professional, and personal skills needed for the career demands of the future. The program is intended to catalyze a cultural change in graduate education by establishing innovative new models for graduate education and training in a fertile environment for collaborative research that transcends traditional disciplinary boundaries.

这一综合性研究生教育和研究培训(IGERT)奖项支持东北大学和波多黎各大学马亚圭兹分校与十多个工业和政府合作伙伴合作，发展一个多学科和多机构的智能诊断教育和研究研究生培训计划。智能诊断研究和教育的统一框架强调实践经验，并使用一套用于教育和研究的实验试验台。土木工程、计算机/信号处理和公共政策方面的专家对学员进行教育，以满足国家对智能诊断专家的需求。学员参加统一的“训练营”、研究研讨会、短期课程、每周圆桌会议和整合政策的城市工作室；他们在整个培训过程中受益于行业和政府的合作伙伴关系。采用结构化的跨学科教育和培训方法，及早识别和成功管理与老化的民用基础设施系统相关的渐进式损坏，将使毕业生做好准备，以解决各种物理系统中的智能诊断问题。受训人员的目标是学习如何在公共政策的范围内，系统地监测社会的民用基础设施的健康状况，制定具有成本效益的问题补救程序，并防止灾难性的坍塌。该项目促进了学科和文化背景的多样性。毕业生将成为诊断工程师，他们的培训结合了先进的检测和诊断方法，对物理系统以及经济和管理问题的理解。IGERT是一个NSF范围内的项目，旨在应对培养具有跨学科背景、所选学科的深厚知识以及满足未来职业需求所需的技术、专业和个人技能的美国博士科学家和工程师的挑战。该项目旨在通过建立创新的研究生教育和培训新模式，在超越传统学科界限的合作研究的肥沃环境中，催化研究生教育的文化变革。
