ITWF: Scholars of the Future: An Implementation Model for Increasing Diversity in Information Technology

摘要CNS-0420485 PI：Juan Gilbert机构：奥本大学标题：ITWF：未来的学者：信息技术增加多样性的实施模型这个ITWF项目为高水平的本科计算机科学学生提供了重要的研究和指导，重点是代表性不足的参与者。目标是让这些学生攻读信息技术相关领域的研究生学位，然后追求学术生涯。这种未来学者模式将在奥本大学实施四年，并在弗吉尼亚理工学院在最后两年。 该项目的智力价值在于强大的研究基础和参与该项目的合作伙伴的专业知识。该项目的特点是一个非常全面的评估计划，应该提供基于研究的见解，是非常有价值的。学生的研究涵盖了广泛的信息技术学科，与领导和指导，从公认的学者在各个领域。该项目更广泛的影响在于有可能产生大量的计算机科学研究生和潜在的教师，其中许多来自代表性不足的群体。此外，该模式很容易在其他机构复制，并可以作为研究计划的一部分在机构持续。

AbstractCNS-0420485PI: Juan GilbertInstitution: Auburn UniversityTitle: ITWF: Scholars of the Future: An Implementation Model for Increasing Diversity in Information TechnologyThis ITWF project provides significant research and mentoring to upper level undergraduate computer science students, with a focus on under-represented participants. The goal is for these students to pursue graduate degrees in information technology related fields and then pursue academic careers. This Scholars of the Future model is to be implemented at Auburn University all four years and at Virginia Polytechnic Institute in the last two years. The intellectual merit of this project lies in strong research basis and the expertise of the collaborative partners participating in the project. The project features an extremely comprehensive assessment plan that should provide research-based insights that are of great value. The student research covers a broad spectrum of the information technology discipline, with leadership and mentorship from recognized scholars in the various fields. The broader impacts of the project lie with the potential to produce a substantial number of computer science graduate students and potential faculty members, with many from underrepresented groups. In addition, the model is easily replicated at other institutions and could be sustained as part of the research programs at the institutions.
