CISE Educational Innovation: Introducing Fundamental Concepts and Evaluation Methods for Distributed Systems and Applications in the Computer Science Undergraduate Curriculum

EIA-0086251 Guha University of Central FloridaGuha，Ratan K.CISE教育计划：在计算机科学本科课程中引入分布式系统和应用的基本概念和评估方法这个CISE教育创新奖支持开发创新课程，用于教授分布式计算机系统，计算机网络技术，和原则的分布式应用程序的本科生在中央佛罗里达大学和三个合作机构。该项目的重点是开发模块、课程材料、课程、交付基础设施、教师增强讲习班和基于网络的数据收集。模块主题包括：网络和互联网，移动的和无线计算，网络管理，分布式系统的概念，网络安全，性能评估，分布式应用，并行和分布式仿真。该项目提供了一个基于网络和光盘的机制，用于分发模块、课程、支助软件和评估工具。2002年和2003年将为教员、政府和工业界举办一个为期一周的讲习班，讨论这些主题。除了将当前分布式系统的研究转移到中央佛罗里达大学的本科课程中之外，该项目还使三个学生人数不足的合作机构（Grambling州立大学，佛罗里达A M大学和休斯顿大学）积极参与该项目。合作机构参与教学模块的开发和评估，并将其作为新课程或通过现有本科课程将模块用于其课程中。

EIA-0086251 Guha University of Central FloridaGuha, Ratan K.CISE Educational Program: Introducing Fundamental Concepts and Evaluation Methods for Distributed Systems and Applications in the Computer Science Undergraduate CurriculumThis CISE Educational Innovation award supports the development of innovative curricula for teaching contemporary concepts of distributed computer systems, computer network technologies, and principles of distributed applications to undergraduate students at the University of Central Florida and three collaborating institutions. The focus of the project is on the development of modules, course materials, courses, a delivery infrastructure, faculty enhancement workshops, and web-based data collection. Module topics include: networks and the Internet, mobile and wireless computing, network management, concepts of distributed systems, network security, performance evaluation, distributed applications, and parallel and distributed simulation. This project provides a web and CD-ROM based mechanism for distribution of modules, courses, support-software and evaluation instruments. A one-week workshop for faculty, government, and industry covering these topics will be conducted in 2002 and 2003. In addition to transferring current research in distributed systems into the undergraduate curriculum at the University of Central Florida, the project also enables three partner institutions with underrepresented student populations (Grambling State University, Florida A&M University, and the University of Houston) to actively participate in the project. The collaborating institutions are involved in development and evaluation of the instructional modules and use them in their programs either as new courses or thread the modules through existing undergraduate courses.
