项目摘要

This project aims to serve the national interest by developing a cloud computing program to meet a regional workforce need. The cloud computing industry has grown exponentially at an unprecedented rate especially during the pandemic. Community colleges nationwide, however, have not yet widely created curriculum and supporting materials to effectively train technicians in this rapidly growing field. There are widespread workforce gaps of cloud computing technicians. This project will develop new courses that will strengthen knowledge in cloud technologies, virtualization, storage, operating systems, networking, and cybersecurity. A collaboration with other institutions and industry partners has the potential to help program adoptions with curricula and best practices to jumpstart a workforce training pipeline in cloud computing. The project team intends to focus on the recruitment of women and students from underrepresented groups in order to meet the growing demands of cloud computing technicians in Tampa region. The project has the potential to advance knowledge of accelerating the development of cloud computing training programs.The primary goal is to develop a cloud computing curriculum with stackable courses towards a college-credit certificate and an associate degree. This goal will be met through four objectives: 1) Development of a clouding computing curriculum that will foster an environment of learning and success through hands-on experiences in cloud technology courses; 2) Acquisition of expertise and technical knowledge through a Business and Industry Leadership Team and a mentoring collaboration with the Cloud Computing Center at Miami Dade College; 3) Provision of opportunities to secondary and post-secondary faculty by taking cloud certifications; and 4) Recruitment activities including job preparations, and retention services. In addition, the project will provide an annual summer program of cloud computing for high school and college students in collaboration with local public schools. The project team plans to disseminate the proposed curriculum and practices in recruiting students from underrepresented groups at various national and regional conferences. This project is funded by the Advanced Technological Education program that focuses on the education of technicians for the advanced-technology fields that drive the Nation's economy.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.

该项目旨在通过开发云计算计划来满足区域劳动力需求，从而为国家利益服务。云计算行业以前所未有的速度成倍增长，尤其是在疫情期间。然而，全国范围内的社区学院尚未广泛创建课程和辅助材料，以有效地培训这一快速发展领域的技术人员。云计算技术人员的劳动力缺口很大。该项目将开发新课程，以加强云技术，虚拟化，存储，操作系统，网络和网络安全方面的知识。与其他机构和行业合作伙伴的合作有可能帮助采用课程和最佳实践的计划，以启动云计算中的劳动力培训管道。项目团队打算重点招聘来自代表性不足群体的妇女和学生，以满足坦帕地区对云计算技术人员日益增长的需求。该项目有可能推进加速云计算培训计划发展的知识。主要目标是开发一个云计算课程，其中包括可堆叠的课程，以获得大学学分证书和副学士学位。这一目标将通过四个目标来实现：1）开发云计算课程，通过云技术课程的实践经验来促进学习和成功的环境; 2）通过商业和行业领导团队以及与迈阿密戴德学院云计算中心的指导合作来获得专业知识和技术知识; 3）通过云认证为中学和大专教师提供机会;以及4）招聘活动，包括工作准备和保留服务。此外，该项目还将与当地公立学校合作，为高中和大学生提供年度夏季云计算计划。项目小组计划在各种国家和区域会议上宣传拟议的课程和从代表人数不足的群体中招收学生的做法。该项目由先进技术教育计划资助，该计划侧重于推动国家经济的先进技术领域的技术人员的教育。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
