CPATH EAE: Collaborative: Learning to Build Systems of Systems

该CPATH合作项目开发了将宾夕法尼亚州立大学基于构建系统的系统成功的制度转型扩展到其他高等教育机构的模式。该项目的第一阶段旨在佐治亚州立大学采用该战略。第二阶段涉及对两种情况下的战略进行系统的方案评价。第三阶段的目标是扩展策略以包含开源元素。宾夕法尼亚州立大学的转型战略“系统的系统专业人员的增强教育”（AESOP）为能够构建和支持大型复杂系统的计算机专业人员做准备。该策略包含五个主要要素，包括组织、课程、主动学习、基于问题的学习和体验式学习。这个项目的智力价值源于强大的研究团队，组合活动的合理性，以及系统系统的及时性，以解决关键的信息系统教育问题。研究团队成员在企业集成和教育领域都有扎实的研究记录。正在采用、评价和推广的战略具有良好的研究基础，并有可能产生新的研究成果，可供其他国家采用。该项目的更广泛影响源于成果和学习资源的广泛传播。该项目扩展到高等教育和行业合作伙伴，提供了许多独特的模式，可能作为国家模式的价值。因此，该项目有可能影响计算机专业人员骨干的培养，他们可以在广泛的应用领域提供领导，从而加强国家重大需要的领域。

This CPATH collaborative project develops the models for extending Penn State's successful institutional transformation based on building system of systems to other institutions of higher education. The first phase of the project is aimed at adoption of strategy at Georgia State University. The second phase involves systemic programmatic evaluation of the strategy in both settings. The third phase targets extending the strategy to include an open source element. The Penn State transformation strategy, Augmenting Education of Systems-of-Systems Professionals (AESOP), prepares computing professionals who can build and support large and complex systems. The strategy contains five major elements including organizational, curricular, active learning, problem-based learning, and experiential learning components. The intellectual merit of this project stems from the strong research team, the soundness of the combined activities, and the timeliness of the systems of systems focus to address critical information systems education issues. The research team members have solid research records in both enterprise integration and in education. The strategy that is being adopted, evaluated, and extended has a sound research basis and offers the possibility of new research results that can be incorporated by others. The broader impacts of this project stem from the dissemination of the results and learning resources on a wide scale. The project extensions to both higher education and industry partners offers many unique models which may be of value as national models. Thus the project has the potential to impact the preparation of a cadre of computing professionals who can provide leadership in a wide range of application fields and thus enhance an area of significant national need.
