Collaborative Research: Synergistic Environments in Graduate and Undergraduate Education in Atmospheric Instrumentation and Measurement Training (SEGUE)

大气仪器和测量培训中的研究生和本科生教育协同环境(SEGUE)是一个合作项目，旨在设计、开发和公开分发一系列互动的多媒体在线模块，这些模块可以有效地集成到仪器、测量和观测系统的课程中，以补充传统教学并增强混合教学。该项目满足了国家研究理事会的一份报告中提出的需求，该报告的结论是：“必须采取具体步骤，为大学在观测技术方面的教学提供更多的合作工具，以促进尖端仪器的持续发展，并提高大气科学家在仪器和观测数据方面的普遍素养。”SEGUE汇集了国家大气研究地球观测实验室的科学家和工程师作为主题专家的智力资本，彗星计划的艺术人才和教学设计敏锐，以及米尔斯维尔大学在仪器和观测科学方面的项目领导、愿景和教学专业知识；所有这些都是为了开发高质量、内容丰富的学习模块，这些模块将提高本科生和研究生的科学素养和技术能力，创造一支强大的劳动力队伍。这一努力的结果将是创建一套强大的开放教育资源，供整个大气科学和气象界用于仪器教育和培训方案，涉及仪器和测量原理等主题，以及测量一系列气象变量的理论和实践。开发的模块将涵盖仪器性能特性、温度、压力、湿度和水汽、风速和方向以及降雨量等主题。每一单元的学习目标将通过需要分析来确定，这种分析既涉及大学社区的广泛领域，也涉及主题专家。该项目将通过满足对现代、互动、多媒体指导的教育和培训模块的需求，结合最新的观测科学教学设计和评估工具，对大气层科学界产生影响。模块开发将使研究生参与模块的测试。这些单元可以作为观测性研究培训的替代方案，并帮助缺乏资源的学校举办实地或实验室仪器体验。

The Synergistic Environments in Graduate and Undergraduate Education (SEGUE) in Atmospheric Instrumentation and Measurement Training is a collaborative project to design, develop, and openly distribute a series of interactive, multimedia, online modules that can be effectively integrated into courses on instrumentation, measurement, and observing systems to supplement traditional pedagogies and enhance blended instruction. This project addresses the need captured in a National Research Council report that concluded, "concrete steps must be taken to enhance the availability of collaborative tools for university instruction in observing techniques to foster continued development of cutting-edge instruments and to increase the general literacy among atmospheric scientists on the subject of instrumentation and observational data." SEGUE brings together the intellectual capital of the scientists and engineers of National Center for Atmospheric Research Earth Observing Laboratory as subject matter experts, the artistic talents and instructional design acumen of the COMET program, and the project leadership, vision, teaching expertise in instruments and observational science at Millersville University; all with the purpose of developing high quality, content rich learning modules that will elevate the scientific literacy and technical competency of undergraduate and graduate students creating a robust workforce. The result of this effort will be the creation of a robust set of open educational resources that will be available to the entire atmospheric science and meteorological community for instrumentation education and training programs, addressing topics such as principles of instrumentation and measurement to the theory and practice of measuring a host of meteorological variables. Topics such as instrument performance characteristics, temperature, pressure, humidity & water vapor, wind speed & direction, and precipitation will be covered by the developed modules. Learning objectives for each module will be determined through needs analysis that engages both a broad spectrum of the university community as well as subject matter experts. The project will impact the atmospheric science community by fulfilling a need for contemporary, interactive, multimedia guided education and training modules integrating the latest instructional design and assessment tools in observational science. Module development will engage graduate students in the testing of modules. The modules may serve as an alternative to observational research training and assist schools that lack the resources to stage a field- or laboratory-based instrumentation experiences.
