Visualization Technologies in Environmental Curricula (VTEC)

9354599贝里曼环境课程可视化技术(VTEC)项目是一项大规模的合作项目，合作伙伴包括：西格玛·西科学研究会、北卡罗来纳州立大学、杜克大学、北卡罗来纳大学教堂山分校、北卡罗来纳州超级计算中心、北卡罗来纳州中央大学、北卡罗来纳州社区学院系统，以及行业、政府、教职员工和学生顾问。VTEC是一个为期两年的项目，旨在开发、演示和评估：一种跨学科、面向问题、基于团队的环境案例研究开发战略，涉及教师、本科生以及来自行业、政府和超级计算中心的顾问。环境课程、案例研究和教学材料，有效整合计算机网络和可视化技术的力量，在解决复杂环境问题方面加强对科学概念及其与其他学科的相互关系的理解。这些可视化增强的案例研究旨在提高环境和科学素养，并改善本科生对科学和技术职业的态度，特别是在妇女和代表性不足的少数群体中。北卡罗来纳州超级计算中心全面的、以项目为导向的计算机可视化和网络技能开发，使来自参与大学和社区学院的合作者能够在课程开发方面取得卓越成绩。***

9354599 Bereman The Visualization Technologies in Environmental Curricula (VTEC) Project is a large scale partnership effort among: Sigma Xi, the Scientific Research Society; North Carolina State University; Duke University; the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill; The North Carolina Supercomputing Center, North Carolina Central University, The North Carolina System of Community Colleges; and industry, government, faculty and student consultants. VTEC is a two-year project to develop, demonstrate and evaluate: An interdisciplinary, problem-oriented, team-based environmental case study development strategy involving faculty, undergraduate students, and consultants from industry, government, and supercomputing centers. Environmental curriculum case studies and instructional materials which effectively integrate the power of computer networking and visualization technology in enhancing understanding of scientific concepts and their interrelationship with other disciplines in the solution of complex environmental issues. These visualization-- enhanced case studies are intended to increase environmental and scientific literacy and to improve undergraduate student attitudes toward science and technology careers, particularly among women and underrepresented minorities. Comprehensive, project-driven computer visualization and networking skills development at the N.C. Supercomputing Center to enable excellence in curriculum development for collaborators from participating universities and community colleges. ***
