CAREER: Integrated Research and Education in Smart Sensing and Intelligent Structures Technology

摘要：张云峰李海伊大学CAREER项目的总体目标是在智能传感和智能结构技术这一新兴领域开展综合研究和教学项目。本研究旨在建立一种集无线传感器网络、传感器数据压缩和结构系统识别技术于一体的新型智能传感技术。针对振动传感器数据，将开发新的高性能数据压缩算法，该算法利用结构系统信息来最大化压缩性能。此外，还制定了综合教育计划，以提高这一尖端技术对大学生、G6-12学生和实习工程师的影响。在利哈伊大学为非工程专业学生开设的创意工程辅修课程下，将为非工程专业学生开发一系列智能结构技术讲座模块。该项目还包括为澳门大学的S.T.A.R.项目提供智能传感技术的推广活动，旨在鼓励经济和学业上处于不利地位的学生接受高等教育。教学评估技术将用于评估拟议的教育和推广活动的有效性，并与校园内的教育教师专家合作。这项调查的结果预计将对传感器和结构健康监测技术的进步产生强烈的影响。这是2006年度职业生涯奖。

Abstract0546963PI: Yunfeng ZhangLehigh UniversityThe overall goal of this CAREER project is to develop an integrated research and education program in the emerging field of smart sensing and intelligent structures technology. The proposed research aims to establish a novel smart sensing technology which will integrate wireless sensor network, sensor data compression, and structural system identification technologies. Novel high-performance data compression algorithms, which use structural system information to maximize the compression performance, will be developed for vibration sensor data. An integrated education plan is also included to enhance the impact of this cutting-edge technology on college students, G6-12 students and practicing engineers. A series of lecture modules in smart structure technologies for non-engineering students will be developed under a creative engineering minor program for non-engineering majors at Lehigh University. This project also includes outreach activities in smart sensing technologies for the S.T.A.R. program at LU, which are designed to encourage economically and academically disadvantaged at-risk students for higher education. Assessment technology for teaching and learning will be used to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed education and outreach activities in collaboration of educational faculty experts on campus. The outcome of this investigation is expected to have a strong impact on the advancements in sensor and structural health monitoring technologies.This is a FY 06 CAREER award.
