Professor Guy-Alain Amoussou and Humboldt State University (HSU) propose to organize, in collaboration with several francophone West African institutions of higher education, a ?Computational Coastal Management and Global Computing Education Partnerships? planning visit in August 2009 in Abidjan, Cote d?Ivoire. The objectives of the proposed program are to: 1) initiate an International Computational Coastal Management program. The first step will be to build a web based library of a collection of the best available scientific information on the marine environment of the North Coast region of California and the West African regions 2) identify effective learning models that incorporate a global dimension in computing education; and 3) establish university collaborations to support student and faculty exchanges. For each of these discussion areas, we have indentified funding opportunities which we anticipate will stimulate participants? creativity to generate projects that will support their collaboration. Ultimately, our intention is to initiate innovative project ideas that will contribute to build Computational Coastal Management and Global Computing Education Partnerships. This planning visit will bring together three faculty and one evaluator from HSU, five faculty from the African partner institutions and three students (one undergraduate student from HSU and two from Cote d?Ivoire).Intellectual Merit: Faculty and Students participating in the planning visit will be part of an interdisciplinary research environment that breaks the traditional academic silos they are used to. Additionally, given the increasingly technology-driven features of our modern society of the 21th century, there is a critical need to be involved in education and research endeavors that widen our perspectives to allow: - the development of sound and valid computational models that can be used in California and West Africa, - the identification of the necessary features computing education needs to be global and - a better preparation of the next generation of students and faculty. Finally, this planning visit will enable specific funded projects to be initiated.Broader Impact: The proposed project will contribute to create a synergy with other existing NSF funded projects at HSU that are focused on interdisciplinary research and education projects. These include, for example, the Science of Design and the Research Experience for Undergraduates Projects. The outcomes of this planning visit will be shared at diverse venues including the California State University System Institute for Teaching and Learning e-magazine, the Special Interest Group on Computer Science Education 2010 annual workshop and the Consortium for Computing Sciences in Colleges North West regional conference. Our goal will be to attract additional partner institutions on the American side.

Guy-Alain Amoussou教授和洪堡州立大学提议与西非几个法语高等教育机构合作，组织一个关于非洲高等教育的国际会议。计算海岸管理和全球计算教育伙伴关系？计划访问2009年8月在阿比让，科特迪瓦d？科特迪瓦。该计划的目标是：1）启动国际计算海岸管理计划。第一步是建立一个基于网络的图书馆，收集有关加州北海岸地区和西非地区海洋环境的最佳科学信息; 2）确定有效的学习模式，将全球层面纳入计算教育; 3）建立大学合作，支持学生和教师交流。对于每一个讨论领域，我们都确定了我们预计将刺激参与者的资助机会。创造力，以产生项目，将支持他们的合作。最终，我们的目的是启动创新的项目想法，这将有助于建立计算沿海管理和全球计算教育伙伴关系。这次规划访问将汇集来自HSU的三名教师和一名评估员，来自非洲伙伴机构的五名教师和三名学生（一名来自HSU的本科生和两名来自Cote d？智力成绩：参与规划访问的教师和学生将成为跨学科研究环境的一部分，打破他们习惯的传统学术孤岛。此外，鉴于我们的世纪的现代社会越来越技术驱动的特点，有一个关键需要参与教育和研究工作，拓宽我们的视野，使：- 开发可用于加州和西非的合理有效的计算模型，- 确定计算机教育需要全球化的必要特征，以及-为下一代学生和教师做好更好的准备。最后，这次规划访问将使具体的资助项目得以启动。更广泛的影响：拟议的项目将有助于创造一个协同作用，与其他现有的NSF资助的项目在HSU是专注于跨学科的研究和教育项目。这些包括，例如，设计科学和本科生项目的研究经验。这次规划访问的成果将在不同的地点分享，包括加州州立大学系统研究所的教学和学习电子杂志，计算机科学教育特别兴趣小组2010年年度研讨会和计算科学联盟西北地区会议。我们的目标将是在美国方面吸引更多的伙伴机构。
