Human Interface Design for Access to Computers and Networked Information

卡罗尔弗吉尼亚理工大学寻求建立研究生研究培训计划，以鼓励妇女，少数民族和残疾人（学员）攻读计算机科学博士学位，专业为人机交互和网络信息。独特的项目特点包括：*与诺福克州立大学和北卡罗来纳州农业技术大学（历史上的黑人大学）作为“馈线”学校的机构间招聘安排，以及积极保留学员的计划；*五种不同设置的实践经验和研究(1)三个新的HCI实验室——包括交互技术、可用性评估方法和网络多媒体信息，所有这些都是在最近授予的NSF研究基础设施资助下创建的；(2)在计算机科学课程、课程内容和教学技术方面进行广泛的开发和实验，由最近授予的NSF教育基础设施资助；(3)无障碍计算机实验室，弗吉尼亚理工大学为残疾学生提供的计算机设施，由计算机科学系创建和管理；(4)互动咨询服务和外展计划，以帮助大学社区学习、适应和应用最新的人机交互设计和评估技术来开发软件和课件；(5)布莱克斯堡电子村，一个雄心勃勃的社区网络项目；*与外国机构和计算机行业建立联系，提供国际和行业培训的机会。

GER-9553458 Carroll Virginia Tech seeks to establish a Graduate Research Traineeships program to encourage women, minorities, and persons with disabilities (Trainees) to pursue the PhD in Computer Science with specialization in Human-Computer Interaction and Networked Information. Unique program features include: * inter-institutional recruiting arrangements with Norfolk State University and North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University (historically black universities) as "feeder" schools, and an aggressive plan for retention of Trainees; * practical experience and research in five different settings (1) three new HCI labs -- encompassing interactive technologies, usability evaluation methodology, and networked multimedia information, all created under a recently awarded NSF Research Infrastructure grant; (2) a wide range of development and experimentation in Computer Science curricula, course content, and instructional technology, supported by a recently awarded NSF Educational Infrastructure grant; (3) the Accessible Computer Laboratory, Virginia Tech's computer facility for disabled students, created and managed by the Computer Science Department; (4) the Interaction Consulting Service, and outreach program to help the University community learn, adapt, and apply the newest HCI design and evaluation technologies to their development of software and courseware; (5) the Blacksburg Electronic Village, an ambitious community- networking project; * liaisons with foreign institutions and the computer industry to provide opportunities for international and industrial training experiences.
