New, GK-12: CYBER-Alaska- Training Tomorrow's Engineers in Cyber-Physical Systems (CYBER: Creating Young Brilliant Engineers and Researchers)

该项目将通过7-12中学教育的教学和辅导，提高研究生在网络物理系统（CPS）研究中的沟通，教学和领导技能，同时通过计划的基于调查的教育活动推进他们的研究。从多学科工程学科中选出的研究生研究员将与教师合作，规划，准备和提供CPS相关的增强现有的科学和技术课程主题，从而将CPS相关的基本工程概念注入7-12年级。研究员将与选定的技术，科学和数学教师合作，并将作为榜样和课堂？顾问？同时也指导学生在阿拉斯加相关CPS应用和项目的各种工程和计算方面。教育活动和项目将直接与研究员有关？CPS的研究，如自主无人地面和空中车辆的勘探和搜索救援在北极，基于互联网的双边控制和远程操作系统，传感器/执行器网络的决策支持系统和节能自动化建筑。CYBER-Alaska将满足这一需求，并提供系统的指导工程教育与CPS的不同应用，一个主题确定为技术的21世纪世纪和美国的首要任务。我们的项目将有助于在这一新兴领域全面发展的研究生的教育和培训，同时也解决阿拉斯加公立教师和学生的迫切技术教育需求，主要针对农村学校和少数民族和阿拉斯加本地人比例高的学校。

This project will improve the communication, teaching and leadership skills of graduate students conducting research in Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) via teaching and mentoring in 7-12 secondary education, while advancing their research through the planned inquiry-based educational activities. The graduate fellows selected from multidisciplinary engineering disciplines will partner with teachers in planning, preparing and delivering CPS related enhancements to existing science and technology course topics, hence infusing CPS related basic engineering concepts into grades 7-12. Fellows will partner with selected teachers of technology, science, and math, and will act as role models and in-class ?resource persons?, while also mentoring students in various engineering and computational aspects of Alaska relevant CPS applications and projects. The educational activities and projects will be directly related to the fellows? CPS research, such as autonomous unmanned ground and aerial vehicles for exploration and search & rescue in the Arctic, internet-based bilateral control and teleoperation systems; sensor/actuator networks for decision support systems and for energy efficient automated buildings.CYBER-Alaska will address this need and provide systematic mentorship for engineering education with different applications of CPS, a theme identified as the technology of 21st century and a top priority for the USA. Our project will contribute to the education and training of well-rounded graduate students in this emerging area, while also addressing the urgent technical educational needs of Alaska public teachers and students, primarily aiming for rural schools and schools with high percentage of minorities and Alaskan natives.
