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

协同环境在研究生和本科生教育（SEGUE）在大气仪器和测量培训是一个合作项目，设计，开发和公开分发一系列互动，多媒体，在线模块，可以有效地集成到仪器，测量和观测系统的课程，以补充传统的知识和增强混合教学。该项目满足了国家研究理事会报告中提出的需要，该报告的结论是，“必须采取具体步骤，为大学观测技术教学提供更多的协作工具，以促进尖端仪器的持续开发，并提高大气科学家对仪器和观测数据的普遍认识。“SEGUE汇集了国家大气研究中心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、COMET方案的艺术才能和教学设计敏锐性，以及米勒斯维尔大学在仪器和观测科学方面的项目领导、远见和教学专长;所有这些都是为了开发高质量，内容丰富的学习模块，这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式教育资源，可供整个大气科学和气象界用于仪器教育和培训计划，解决诸如仪器和测量原理等主题，以测量大量气象变量的理论和实践。 所开发的模块将涵盖仪器性能特性、温度、压力、湿度、水蒸气、风速方向和降水等主题。 每个单元的学习目标将通过需求分析来确定，该分析涉及大学社区的广泛领域以及主题专家。 该项目将影响大气科学界，满足对当代互动式多媒体指导教育和培训模块的需求，将最新的教学设计和评估工具融入观测科学。 模块开发将使研究生参与模块测试。 这些模块可以作为观察研究培训的替代方案，并帮助缺乏资源的学校开展基于现场或实验室的仪器体验。

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.
