The Intelligent Infrastructure Systems Education Project (I2SEP) is a, multi-interdisciplinary, advanced technological education (ATE) project that is improving Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) related undergraduate education primarily in the electronics technology (ET) area. This project is also addressing curricula needs for non-electronics based technologies that utilize complex networked electronic systems to provide automation and control functions or to further enhance system efficiency, safety, and security of the nation's infrastructure. The I2SEP project is tackling the lack of curricula available to address the new skill sets needed by the electronics/systems technicians of the coming decade as the nation begins to rebuild its aging infrastructure and implements new technologies to enhance in-place systems in power delivery (SmartGrid), alternative energy production, building automation, transportation systems, etc. The new paradigm in electronics technology of systems-on-a-chip and a ubiquitous Internet providing connectivity is driving this project's efforts in the creation of system-centered curricula materials that include original, powerful, interactive simulations and conventional curriculum modules. Annual project workshops are providing faculty with professional development in the utilization of student-centered teaching strategies and methodologies, the emerging field of networked sensors and embedded controller technology, and various intelligent infrastructure applications enabled by these technologies. On a broader level, the project is hosting annual Industry/educator summits to assist in the planning of strategies needed to deliver the required skill sets to students in both electronics and non-electronics based disciplines. Through these activities, a replicable model for the development of multi-interdisciplinary educational materials for both electronics and non-electronics based technology fields by traditional electronics faculty members is being created.

智能基础设施系统教育项目（I2 SEP）是一个多学科的先进技术教育（ATE）项目，主要在电子技术（ET）领域改善科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）相关的本科教育。该项目还解决了非电子技术的课程需求，这些技术利用复杂的网络电子系统提供自动化和控制功能，或进一步提高国家基础设施的系统效率，安全性和安全性。随着国家开始重建其老化的基础设施并实施新技术以增强电力输送中的就地系统，I2 SEP项目正在解决未来十年电子/系统技术人员所需新技能的课程缺乏问题（智能电网）、替代能源生产、楼宇自动化、运输系统、电子技术的片上系统和提供连接的无处不在的互联网的新范式正在推动该项目努力创建以系统为中心的课程材料，包括原始的，强大的，交互式的模拟和传统的课程模块。年度项目研讨会为教师提供专业发展，利用以学生为中心的教学策略和方法，新兴的网络传感器和嵌入式控制器技术领域，以及这些技术支持的各种智能基础设施应用。在更广泛的层面上，该项目正在举办年度行业/教育家峰会，以协助规划为电子和非电子学科的学生提供所需技能所需的战略。通过这些活动，正在建立一个可复制的模式，由传统的电子教员为电子和非电子技术领域开发多学科教育材料。
