Minority Institutions Infrastructure: LEARN Laboratory- based Educational and Research Network

提案9810741 Sriastava，Sadanand；Mareboana，Monohar；Hughes，Patricia；Jackson，Lethia；Stone，Daryl cise Mii：CESE少数民族机构基础设施方案--98财年学习：基于实验室的教育和研究网络项目学习，(模拟为示范卓越机构倡议的扩展：MIE)，通过研究和教育活动加强计算机科学基础设施。它促进教师发展活动，并在少数族裔教师完成博士课程时支持他们。通过项目学习，更多的学生参与到以下领域的教师研究中：基于代理的系统、空间数据分析、实时操作系统以及多媒体和远程教育应用的教学研究。这一奖项将使计算机科学系从以教学为主转向以教学和研究为主。现有的MIE暑期学院计划将扩大，以吸引更多的少数民族/女性学生到北卡罗来纳州立大学攻读计算机科学专业。将建立一个以学生为基础的支持网络，加强学生对学生的学术支持系统，并提供一个辅导、相互支持和自我实现的论坛。项目学习对整个问题链产生重大影响，这些问题涉及少数族裔学生的招生、辅导、研究任务、财政支持、学业成绩监测、网络和基于小组的活动以及研究生院的安置。通过这一努力，鲍伊州立大学预计将进一步发展其涉及更多少数族裔学生的计算科学研究能力，为最终增加未被充分代表的学位铺平道路。希望通过这些努力，这个国家可以找到一个成功的模式，帮助建立一个更好的种族和族裔平衡的技术企业，造福于当代和子孙后代。

Proposal 9810741 Srivastava, Sadanand; Mareboyana, Monohar; Hughes, Patricia; Jackson, Lethia; Stone, Daryl CISE MII: CISE Minority Institutions Infrastructure Program-- FY 98 LEARN: Laboratory-Based Educational and Research Network Project LEARN, (modeled as an extension to the Model Institution for Excellence initiative: MIE), enhances the Computer Science infrastructure through research and educational activities. It promotes faculty development activities and supports minority faculty members as they complete there Ph.D. programs. Through project LEARN, more students participate in faculty research in areas such as: Agent-Based Systems, Spatial Data Analysis, Real-Time Operating Systems, and Pedagogical Research on Multimedia and Distance Learning applications. This award will stir the department of Computer Science from 'mainly teaching' towards 'teaching and research'. The existing MIE Summer Academy Program will be expanded to attract more minority/women students to pursue Computer Science studies at BSU. A Student-based Support Network, enhancing the student-to-student academic support system and providing a forum for tutoring, mutual support and self realization), will be established. Project LEARN makes a significant impact on the whole chain of issues which are related to minority student recruitment, mentoring, research assignments, financial support, academic performance monitoring, networking and group-based activities and placement in graduate schools. Through this effort, Bowie State University is expected to develop further its computing science research capabilities involving minority students in greater numbers, paving the way for eventual increase in underrepresented degrees in the pipeline. It is hoped that through these efforts, the nation might find a successful model that will help in building a better racially and ethnically balanced technological enterprise for the benefit of its present and future generations.
