Computer Networking: Curriculum Designs and Educational Challenges Workshop; August 20, 2002; Pittsburgh, PA

ACM数据通信特别兴趣小组（SIGCOMM）将于2002年8月20日在宾夕法尼亚州匹兹堡举行的ACM数据通信2002年会之前举办为期一天的“计算机网络：课程设计和教育挑战”研讨会。 研讨会的目标是汇集来自学术机构，工业工程师和科学家，以及其他对教育感兴趣的教师，讨论计算机网络领域的课程设计和教学实践。 讲习班的重点是：（一）为网络方面的第一门（本科）课程制定示范课程;（二）该领域研究生课程的演变;（三）在本科/研究生一级制定“动手”实验室课程。 讲习班将提供一个机会，讨论这些问题和其他相关问题;分享观点、经验和材料;了解其他人在该领域正在做什么和考虑做什么。 讲习班将编写一份报告，详细说明与会者的讨论情况，并将作为今后在这一领域开展活动的出发点，这项提案要求提供资金，以协助最多20名驻美国的教员出席和参加这一讲习班。 该奖项将主要针对来自四年制学院和大学的教师，否则他们将没有资金参加研讨会或ACM SIGCOMM 2002。 特别是有兴趣吸引教师从4年制大学的车间。 由于工作坊的对象是计算机网络领域的所有学院（而不仅仅是那些有研究基金参加SIGCOMM的学院），这笔补助金将有助于扩大参与者的基础，并使工作坊成为真正的社区活动。

The ACM Special Interest Group in Data Communications (SIGCOMM) will sponsor a one-day workshop on "Computer Networking: Curriculum Designs and Educational Challenges," August 20, 2002, preceding the annual ACM Sigcomm 2002 conference in Pittsburgh, PA. The goal of the workshop is to bring together faculty from a broad spectrum of academic institutions, industry engineers and scientists, and others with an interest in education to discuss curriculum design and teaching practices in the field of computer networks. The workshop will focus on (i) the development of model curricula for a first (undergraduate) course in networking, (ii) the evolution of graduate-level curricula in the area, and (iii) developing "hands-on" laboratory-based courses at the undergraduate/graduate level. The workshop will provide an opportunity to discuss these and other related issues; to share viewpoints, experiences, and materials; and to learn what others are doing, and considering doing in the area. The workshop will produce a report detailing the attendees'discussions and will serve as a springboard for future activity in the area.This proposal requests funding to assist up to 20 United States-based faculty members to attend and participate in this workshop. The awards will be primarily targeted at faculty from 4-year colleges and universities who would not otherwise have the funds to attend the workshop or ACM SIGCOMM 2002. Particularly there is an interest in drawing faculty from 4-year college to the workshop. Given that the workshop is targeted broadly at all faculty in the computer networking area (not just those with the research funds to attend SIGCOMM), the grant will help broaden the base of participants, and serve to make the workshop a truly community-wide event.
