Deployment and Integration of Instructional Shake Tables Using the NEES Cyberinfrastructure

工程-土木（54）在本科土木工程专业学生中理解和适当准备减灾主题的重要性是显而易见的。这一扩展工作的重点是传播以前实施的、经过严格评估和改进的活动。主要目标是让广泛的学生参与基于地震工程框架内的创新实验室经验，这是减灾的一个容易证明的要素。实验室练习，利用小规模的教学摇动表和网络基础设施工具提供学习经验，涉及基本概念和新兴技术的结合。部署机制是通过一个首要的网络基础设施项目NEES（地震工程模拟网络）。 已经开发了用于远程控制（远程操作）以及观看和分析流数据和视频（远程参与）的工具，用于通过互联网控制教学摇动台。这种经验是加强本科教育，更好地准备学生进入劳动力与减灾的更深入的了解，并鼓励学生寻求创新的研究生经验。一个多元化的学生和机构群体参与，服务于扩大和参与未来的劳动力。还包括教师发展活动，以建立一个教育合作实验室。

Engineering - Civil (54)The importance of understanding and proper preparation for hazard mitigation topics in undergraduate civil engineering students is clear. This expansion effort focuses on the dissemination of previously implemented exercises that have been rigorously assessed and improved. The primary goal is to engage a wide range of students in innovative laboratory experiences based within the framework of earthquake engineering, one readily demonstrated element of hazard mitigation. The laboratory exercises, utilizing benchscale instructional shake tables and cyberinfrastructure tools provide learning experiences involving a combination of fundamental concepts and emerging technology. The mechanism for deployment is through a premier cyberinfrastructure project, NEES (Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation). Tools have been developed for the remote control (tele-operation) and the viewing and analysis of streaming data and video (tele-participation) for the control of the instructional shake tables over the internet. This experience is enhancing undergraduate education, better preparing students to enter the workforce with a deeper understanding of hazard mitigation, and encouraging students to seek out innovative post-graduate experiences. A diverse group of students and institutions is involved, serving to broaden and engage the workforce of the future. Faculty development activities are also included to build an educational collaboratory.
