Coalition for Undergraduate Computational Science & Engineering: Proof of Concept

该项目创建了一个合作机构集群，将联合收割机学生合并到共同的计算科学和工程（CSE）课程中，并使用网络学习技术提供教学。学生还进行项目，开始在安柏瑞德的非线性波实验室的夏季研讨会，并完成他们在自己的家庭机构使用远程实验室访问。由于很少有小学院有资源提供本科CSE课程，该项目显着提高学生参与计算科学。该项目打算通过建立集群网络来扩大规模。该项目通过使用研发过程来推进CSE的学习，为设计教学和评估学习提供一个连贯的框架，其中教学和评估方法与一个共同的想法保持一致：基于模型的学习和推理。此外，通过建立最先进的网络学习网络，包括虚拟会议系统，改善了教育基础设施;多个端点之间的视频通信，如PC iPad;会话的自动记录和存档;以及远程实验室访问，其中非线性波实验室中的所有操作和测量都是远程操作和在线流式传输。

The project creates a cluster of collaborating institutions that combine students into common Computational Sciences and Engineering (CSE) classes and uses cyberlearning technologies to deliver instruction. Students also conduct projects that begin in a summer workshop in Embry-Riddle's Nonlinear Wave Lab and complete them at their home institution using remote lab access. Because few small colleges have the resources to provide undergraduate CSE courses, the project significantly increases student participation in computational science. The project intends to scale-up by establishing a network of clusters. The project advances the learning of CSE by using an R&D process to provide a coherent framework for designing instruction and assessing learning in which the instructional and assessment methods are aligned with a common idea: Model-based learning and reasoning. In addition, the educational infrastructure is improved by establishing a state of the art cyberlearning network that includes a virtual conferencing system; video communication between multiple endpoints such as PCs & iPads; automatic recording and archiving of sessions; and remote lab access in which all operations and measurements in the Nonlinear Wave Lab are remotely operational and streamed online.
