Enhancement of the Computer Engineering Academic and Research Program at UPRM

波多黎各大学马亚圭斯分校电气和计算机工程系（UPRM）将获得新的计算资源，以加强现有的学术课程和加强研究工作。这些计算资源需要达到以下目标：在三年内完成计算机工程硕士课程。吸引来自台湾和大陆各州的少数族裔学生从事计算机工程方面的职业和研究生教育。在学术期刊上显著增加研究产出和技术出版物的数量。加强计算和连接基础设施，使研究人员能够加入知识和信息密集的环境，通过在学术和工业社区内建立网络成为可能。建设基础设施，促进教师发展，创造研究环境。制定与制造业相关的研究和开发计划，与工业建立密切联系，促进未来面向世界市场的企业产品开发。作为这个项目的最终结果，受过训练的少数族裔计算机工程师从大学本科和研究生阶段进入劳动力市场的数量和质量将显著增加。学生和教师将能够在他们的学习和研究中使用与工业中使用的计算设备相媲美的设备。学院将能够为政府和行业赞助商进行最先进的研究。

The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering of the University of Puerto Rico at Mayaguez (UPRM) will acquire new computing resources to enhance the established academic programs and strengthen research efforts. These computing resources are required to attain the following goals: Develop a Master's Program in Computer Engineering within three years. Attract minority students, from the island and the mainland states, to careers and graduate education in computer engineering. Increase significantly the research output and the number of technical publications in learned journals. Strengthen the computing and connective infrastructure so that researchers can join the knowledge and information intensive environments made possible through networking within the academic and industrial communities. Build an infrastructure to promote faculty development and to create an environment for research. Develop a program of manufacturing-related research and development that will forge close ties with industry and foster future entrepreneurial product development for a world market. As the final outcome of this project, the number of trained minority computer engineers entering the workforce from the institution at both undergraduate and graduate levels will significantly increase in quantity and quality. The students and faculty will be able to use computing equipment comparable to that used in industry in their studies and their research. Faculty will be able to conduct state of the art research for both government and industry sponsors.
