This collaborative EAGER activity addresses an important and long term problem in the nation?s cyber infrastructure (CI) ? the breadth and depth of network engineering talent engaged in research and education networking at the operational and engineering levels, and the associated education and training opportunities made possible through direct engagement by network operations experts. This activity focuses on undergraduate training for network engineering and operations, structured around a training and internship program centered at Indiana University, with a strong partnership established with the University of Montana. The primary element in the internship program is a Networking Fundamentals course over a 10-week period using inquiry-based learning techniques. The program also includes weekly seminars and working internships in operational environments at Indiana University leveraging their roles in campus, national and global network operations and monitoring. Student recruitment will emphasize EPSCoR jurisdictions. Student surveys will be used to evaluate the program?s effectiveness. The activities leverage an existing network engineering relationship between Indiana University and the University of Montana in which 2 students from Montana interned with Indiana?s GlobalNOC. The University of Montana will expand their student involvement under this funding and improve the course material. Intellectual merit is found in the effort?s exploration into the effectiveness of inquiry based learning approaches in the context of network engineering education at the undergraduate level. Broader impact relates directly to the potential for these activities to significantly increase education, workforce, and training opportunities in network research and engineering in real operational settings across EPSCoR jurisdictions.

这项合作性的 EAGER 活动解决了国家网络基础设施 (CI) 中的一个重要且长期的问题？网络工程人才在运营和工程层面从事网络研究和教育的广度和深度，以及通过网络运营专家的直接参与而获得的相关教育和培训机会。该活动侧重于网络工程和运营的本科生培训，围绕以印第安纳大学为中心的培训和实习计划进行，并与蒙大拿大学建立了牢固的合作伙伴关系。实习计划的主要内容是为期 10 周的网络基础课程，使用探究式学习技术。该计划还包括在印第安纳大学的运营环境中进行每周研讨会和工作实习，充分利用他们在校园、国家和全球网络运营和监控中的作用。学生招生将重点关注 EPSCoR 管辖区。学生调查将用于评估该计划的有效性。这些活动利用了印第安纳大学和蒙大拿大学之间现有的网络工程关系，其中蒙大拿州的 2 名学生在印第安纳州的 GlobalNOC 实习。蒙大拿大学将利用这笔资金扩大学生的参与并改进课程材料。 在本科网络工程教育背景下对基于探究的学习方法有效性的探索中发现了智力价值。更广泛的影响与这些活动显着增加 EPSCoR 辖区实际运营环境中网络研究和工程方面的教育、劳动力和培训机会的潜力直接相关。
