This IGERT award at the Arts, Media and Engineering Program at Arizona State University will develop research and training mechanisms for the creation of a new class of media scientists. These scientists will produce new approaches for the integration of computational elements and digital media in the physical human experience. Their work will result in experiential media systems - hybrid physical-digital environments that address significant challenges in key areas of the human condition such as health, education and everyday living. The knowledge required to create experiential media systems is currently fragmented across engineering, sciences and arts. This IGERT award will train a new generation of hybrid media engineers-scientists-artists who are equipped to transcend this fragmentation. The training will be realized through a large interdisciplinary network combining expertise from twelve contributing disciplines. This network will allow integrated advanced research in sensing, modeling, feedback, experiential construction and learning. The research will result in new knowledge in media systems as well as within each contributing area. It will also result in the development of large-scale applications of societal significance. The graduate training mechanisms are implemented through formally approved concentrations within the graduate degree programs of participating disciplines. They combine discipline specific education in one of the IGERT research areas with interdisciplinary training in media development. The framework of this IGERT allows for methodology found in the sciences to be combined with creativity found in the arts. It will bridge the gap between computation and the physical experience, advance human-centric technologies and produce major advances in education, rehabilitation, communication, and everyday living. IGERT is an NSF-wide program intended to meet the challenges of educating U.S. Ph.D. scientists and engineers with the interdisciplinary background, deep knowledge in a chosen discipline, and the technical, professional, and personal skills needed for the career demands of the future. The program is intended to catalyze a cultural change in graduate education by establishing innovative new models for graduate education and training in a fertile environment for collaborative research that transcends traditional disciplinary boundaries.

亚利桑那州立大学艺术、媒体和工程项目的 IGERT 奖项将为培养新一类媒体科学家制定研究和培训机制。这些科学家将提出新的方法，将计算元素和数字媒体整合到人类的物理体验中。 他们的工作将带来体验式媒体系统——物理与数字混合环境，解决健康、教育和日常生活等人类状况关键领域的重大挑战。创建体验式媒体系统所需的知识目前分散在工程、科学和艺术领域。 IGERT 奖项将培养新一代混合媒体工程师、科学家和艺术家，他们有能力超越这种碎片化。 培训将通过一个大型跨学科网络来实现，该网络结合了十二个贡献学科的专业知识。该网络将允许在传感、建模、反馈、体验构建和学习方面进行综合的高级研究。 该研究将带来媒体系统以及每个贡献领域的新知识。 它还将导致具有社会意义的大规模应用程序的开发。 研究生培养机制是通过正式批准的参与学科研究生学位课程的集中实施的。 他们将 IGERT 研究领域之一的学科特定教育与媒体开发的跨学科培训相结合。 IGERT 的框架允许将科学中的方法论与艺术中的创造力相结合。 它将弥合计算和物理体验之间的差距，推进以人为本的技术，并在教育、康复、通信和日常生活方面取得重大进步。 IGERT 是一项 NSF 范围内的计划，旨在应对美国博士生教育的挑战。具有跨学科背景的科学家和工程师，对所选学科有深厚的知识，以及未来职业需求所需的技术、专业和个人技能。该计划旨在通过在超越传统学科界限的合作研究的肥沃环境中建立创新的研究生教育和培训新模式，促进研究生教育的文化变革。
