Undergraduate Faculty Enhancement Workshops in Scientific Visualiation

这项建议的重点是在科学可视化中举办为期两年的一系列夏季讲习班，并有一个评估期。这些讲习班定于1996年和1997年夏季举行。该研讨会由NSF和ACM SIGGRAPH教育委员会联合主办。在美国国家科学基金会的赞助下，合作pi成功地举办了CCD和计算机图形学研讨会。讲习班有三个独立的目标：为参与者提供科学可视化的工作知识，制作课程材料，并使参与者了解这一新兴学科。这些讲习班的概念建立在专业协会以前所做的基金会工作的基础上。在参与者有机会将这些新知识和课程材料整合到他们自己的CS项目中之后，通过PI的正式跟进，将对这些讲习班的效用进行评估。本次评估的结果将报告给社区。警察部门打算积极争取少数民族和妇女参加所有讲习班。他们与有兴趣参加讲习班的hbcu的个人和机构建立了联系。

This proposed focuses on a two year series of summer workshops, with an evaluation period, in Scientific Visualization. These workshops are scheduled for the summers of 1996 and 1997. The workshops are jointly sponsored by NSF and the ACM SIGGRAPH education committee. The co-PIs have successfully conducted CCD and workshops in Computer Graphics, sponsored by the NSF. The workshops have 3 separate objectives: provide participants with working knowledge of scientific visualization, to produce curriculum materials, and to bring participants into an awareness of this emerging discipline. The concept for these workshops builds on previous foundation work done by the professional societies. The utility of these workshops will be evaluated after the participants have had a chance to integrated this new knowledge and curricular material within their own CS programs, by formal follow up by the PI. The results of this evaluation will be reported to the community. The PIs intend to actively pursue minority and women participation in all workshops. They have linked with individuals and institutions at HBCUs that have interest in participating in the workshops.
