Conference Support: the Future of Cyber-Assisted Chemical Engineering Education

该奖项是2019年7月19-20日在科罗拉多州布雷肯里奇举行的2019年网络辅助化学工程教育未来会议的部分差旅支持。会议的重点是创新使用计算技术、数据科学和基于互联网的通信基础设施以加强化学工程教育的未来方向。这次会议紧随CACHE(计算机辅助化学工程教育)公司在科罗拉多州铜山举行的计算机辅助过程设计基础研究会议之后举行。会议计划包括12位全体演讲者，他们将就计算机辅助教育的重要方向以及CACHE在分子建模、系统生物学和过程系统工程方面的成就和当前的进展进行重点介绍。它还将包括20个受邀的口头演示以及由杰出的年轻教师贡献的海报，报告教育媒体发展的创新，探索组织学生与教师互动的新方法，以促进学习，并试验替代的知识提供方式。演讲和讨论将有助于确定整个课程和所有学位水平的差距，并概述内容并确定最有效的工具来提供填补已确定差距的内容。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This award is partial travel support of the 2019 conference Future of Cyber-Assisted Chemical Engineering Education on July 19-20, 2019 in Breckenridge, Colorado. The conference focuses on future directions in the innovative use of computing technology, data science, and internet-based communications infrastructure to enhance chemical engineering education. This conference immediately follows the CACHE (Computer Aids for Chemical Engineering Education) Corporation sponsored research conference, Foundations of Computer Aided Process Design in Copper Mountain, Colorado.The conference program includes 12 plenary speakers who will offer their views of important directions in cyber-assisted education as well as highlights of the accomplishments and current thrusts of CACHE in molecular modeling, systems biology and process systems engineering. It will also involve 20 invited oral presentations as well as posters contributed by outstanding young faculty reporting innovations in the development of educational media, exploring novel ways of organizing student-instructor interactions to enhance learning and experimenting with alternative knowledge delivery modes. The presentations and discussion will serve to identify gaps across the curriculum and at all degree levels and to outline the content and identify the most effective vehicles to deliver the content that would fill the identified gaps.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
