The program in education and training is focused on increasing the pool of people with the knowledge, skills and insights to lead research in the science and technology required to make high performance computing and information processing more easily utilized, and to apply those developments in the pursuit of fundamental knowledge in all disciplines of science and engineering. A secondary goal is to increase the percentage of the populace with an understanding of the power of and opportunities for high performance computing and information processing in the 21st century. Example activities include:
MOSIS - An activity training students and providing research infrastructure for the design and manufacture of custom VLSI chips. Undergraduate Education - An activity which provides funding for new course and curriculum development in high performance computing and communication and information processing. Research Experiences for Undergraduates - Opportunities for undergraduates to perform research in high performance computing and communication and information processing. Postdoctoral Research Associates - Postdoctoral training in computational science and engineering and experimental computer science. Pilot Educational Networks - Develop networks to develop, implement, test, and evaluate applications of computer and communications to education. Network Infrastructure for Education - A joint CISE-EHR activity that addresses issues of large-scale networking for education. |

Monitored and evaluated existing projects and create new testbeds to demonstrate scalability, cost/benefits, policy, effective applications, educational impact, and other characteristics of successful user-driven models of computer networking in education.
Coordinated the results from existing NIE projects and establish a base of knowledge for new applicants to the NIE and programs. Coordinated NIE activities with ED Goals 2000 planning grants and with NTIA infrastructure awards. Initiated pilot studies for educational applications of Digital Library awards. |
Evaluate and analyze ongoing educational networking projects to create a base of knowledge for successful user-driven model transfer and expansion.
Support large-scale models for educational applications of Digital Libraries. Monitor and evaluate existing projects that demonstrate scalability, cost/benefits, policy, effective applications and other characteristics of successful user-driven models of computer networking in education. Develop plans for technology transfer of networked-based educational materials. |
Increase support for the incorporation of research findings into the undergraduate curriculum.
Increase support for the integration of research and education through supplements to existing research awards and through the initiation of new programs. Initiate a new program in Learning Technologies that will combine human centered information systems research with research in education to provide the basis for the next generation of technologies for education. |
