CC*DNI Engineer: Enabling Research Support Services

强大的网络基础设施（CI）日益成为高级研究机会的基础。人力资源投资同样重要，网络基础设施工程师（CIE）的角色是确保提供研究支持服务和推进研究议程的综合方法的关键组成部分。科罗拉多矿业学院增加CIE的角色是通过综合方法向矿业研究界提供全面支持服务的关键因素。CIE作为合作伙伴、建筑师、集成商和催化剂，推动科学探究的努力。将CIE定位在中央IT组织中，为实施和支持CI的各个组成部分和教职研究人员的运营单位之间提供了强有力的合作和伙伴关系的机会。CIE通过多种方式（如提供资源将数据作为机构资产进行管理）直接参与研究人员、图书馆和学生的具体活动，将对矿山的科学探究产生积极影响。这种方法将有助于提高现有网络基础设施的利用率，并确保在设计下一代CI时强烈关注研究人员的需求。影响包括加强研究人员与网络基础设施架构师和实施者之间的伙伴关系，促进机构内部和整个科学界的科学探究，以及为下一代STEM研究人员提供学习机会。此外，通过分享首届CIE的经验和成功，Mines将在区域和国家层面为不断壮大的网络基础设施工程师专业社区做出贡献。

Increasingly, a robust cyberinfrastructure (CI) is the foundation for advanced research opportunities. Investment in personnel resources is no less important, and the role of cyberinfrastructure engineer (CIE) is a critical component in ensuring a comprehensive approach to providing research support services and advancing the research agenda. The addition of the CIE role at the Colorado School of Mines is a key element in efforts to provide comprehensive support services through an integrative approach to the Mines research community. The CIE serves as partner, architect, integrator, and catalyst to advance efforts in scientific inquiry. Positioning the CIE within the central IT organization provides opportunities for strong collaboration and partnership between operational units that implement and support the various components of CI and faculty researchers. Direct engagement by the CIE in specific activities with researchers, the library, and students through multiple approaches (such as providing resources to manage data as an institutional asset) will have a positive impact on scientific inquiry at Mines. This approach will facilitate increased utilization of existing cyberinfrastructure as well as ensure a strong focus on researcher needs when designing the next generation of CI. Impacts include increased partnership between researchers and cyberinfrastructure architects and implementers that advances scientific inquiry within the institution and across the scientific community, as well as learning opportunities for the next generation of STEM researchers. Additionally, by sharing the experiences and successes of the inaugural CIE, Mines will contribute at the regional and national level to the growing professional community of cyberinfrastructure engineers.
