This CI-Team will demonstrate how digital design repositories can be used to enhance instruction and learning in engineering undergraduate curricula through the development of CIBER-U: Cyber-Infrastructure-Based Engineering Repositories for Undergraduates. In particular, the National Design Repository of Computer-Aided Design (CAD) data for consumer and industrial products will be extended to enhance instruction and learning in freshmen-, sophomore-, junior-, and senior-level engineering design courses, including related issues with respect to accessing, storing, searching, and reusing CAD models and data. The project will be implemented in seven undergraduate engineering design courses at the partner institutions, which include the Pennsylvania State University, the University of Missouri-Rolla, the University at Buffalo, and Drexel University. The impact on the educational experience, learning, and practical knowledge of the undergraduate students who will interact with the National Design Repository through the resulting CIBER-U will also be assessed as part of the project. The results of this research will lead to a novel, multi-university educational experience that is mutually beneficial. Specifically, the National Design Repository will be frequently populated, updated, and put to use while simultaneously helping advance systematic and coordinated methods to access, store, search, and reuse CAD models and data. The research pairs two design repository developers with several active users and their students to realize a high-impact application of advanced cyber-infrastructure for allied engineering education. The diversity and strength of the undergraduate engineering programs represented in the proposal will prepare a new generation of engineers to develop, exploit, and promote the use of digital design repositories to support product design. These students will be exposed to tools and technologies that are representative of those that will shape the growth of the cyber-infrastructure and are currently preferred by companies in technology-intensive industries such as automotive and aerospace. In two years, 1700+ undergraduate students will participate in CIBER-U, helping to prepare them to enter the workforce with a more effective understanding of working in a distributed, technology-mediated environment. The team will also engage 200+ high school students in CIBER-U through ongoing summer high school outreach activities.

该 CI 团队将展示如何通过开发 CIBER-U：基于网络基础设施的本科生工程存储库，使用数字设计存储库来增强工程本科课程的教学和学习。 特别是，消费品和工业产品的计算机辅助设计（CAD）数据国家设计存储库将得到扩展，以加强大一、大二、大三和高级工程设计课程的教学和学习，包括相关问题关于访问、存储、搜索和重用 CAD 模型和数据。 该项目将在合作院校的七个本科工程设计课程中实施，其中包括宾夕法尼亚州立大学、密苏里大学罗拉分校、布法罗大学和德雷克塞尔大学。 作为该项目的一部分，还将评估对通过 CIBER-U 与国家设计知识库互动的本科生的教育经历、学习和实践知识的影响。 这项研究的结果将带来一种新颖的、多所大学互惠互利的教育体验。 具体来说，国家设计存储库将被频繁填充、更新和投入使用，同时帮助推进系统和协调的方法来访问、存储、搜索和重用 CAD 模型和数据。 该研究将两名设计存储库开发人员与几名活跃用户及其学生配对，以实现先进网络基础设施在联合工程教育中的高影响力应用。 该提案中体现的本科工程课程的多样性和优势将为新一代工程师做好开发、开发和推广使用数字设计存储库以支持产品设计的准备。 这些学生将接触到代表网络基础设施发展的工具和技术，这些工具和技术目前受到汽车和航空航天等技术密集型行业公司的青睐。 两年内，1700 多名本科生将参加 CIBER-U，帮助他们为进入劳动力市场做好准备，更有效地了解在分布式、技术介导的环境中工作。 该团队还将通过正在进行的夏季高中外展活动吸引 CIBER-U 的 200 多名高中生。
