This award is funded in whole or in part under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (Public Law 117-2).The overarching goal of this project is to build the national pipeline of skilled workforce in the critical domain of Big Data and Cloud Computing technology. This workforce is crucial for the future advances in Data Analytics and Artificial Intelligence based priority areas of national interest. This project will provide Big Data and Cloud Computing technology skill-building opportunities for multidisciplinary students and faculty from underrepresented minority backgrounds at Cal Poly Pomona (Minority Serving Institution, MSI) as well as local alliances of Hispanic Service Institutions (HSI) and S-STEM programs.This project will engage students in Big Data and Cloud Computing technology training and culminating projects early in their academic careers based on the Design Thinking approach, which focuses on understanding individual or community needs and creatively developing solutions to meet those needs. The project will use the Design Thinking concepts to connect students’ STEM curriculum to solving problems that benefit society using Big Data and Cloud Computing technologies- with students directly observing how their projects positively impact a specific community/end-user group. Students will see the potential impact of their education right away, instead of at the end of their academic career. In parallel, the project will provide research training and promote affinity groups for MSI faculty from four-year colleges to work with faculty members from research intensive institutions to foster research collaboration in Big Data and Cloud Computing domain and pursue collaborative external funding for research. The faculty exposure to the technology and resources supporting the Big Data and Cloud Computing research will build the Cal Poly Pomona and other participating HSI’s multidisciplinary capacity in this area to enable future research and education in this domain.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.

该奖项全部或部分由《2021年美国救援计划法案》（公法117-2）资助。该项目的总体目标是在大数据和云计算技术的关键领域建立国家熟练劳动力管道。这支队伍对于数据分析和基于人工智能的国家利益优先领域的未来发展至关重要。该项目将为加州理工波莫纳分校（少数族裔服务机构，MSI）以及西班牙裔服务机构（HSI）和S-STEM项目的当地联盟的多学科学生和教师提供大数据和云计算技术技能建设机会。该项目将让学生参与大数据和云计算技术培训，并根据设计思维方法在其学术生涯的早期完成项目，该方法侧重于理解个人或社区需求，并创造性地开发满足这些需求的解决方案。该项目将利用设计思维的概念，将学生的STEM课程与利用大数据和云计算技术解决造福社会的问题联系起来，让学生直接观察他们的项目如何对特定社区/最终用户群体产生积极影响。学生将立即看到他们的教育的潜在影响，而不是在他们的学术生涯结束时。与此同时，该项目将为来自四年制大学的MSI教师提供研究培训和促进亲和小组，以便与来自研究密集型机构的教师合作，促进大数据和云计算领域的研究合作，并寻求合作的外部研究资金。教师接触到支持大数据和云计算研究的技术和资源，将建立加州理工学院波莫纳分校和其他参与HSI在该领域的多学科能力，以实现该领域的未来研究和教育。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
