This project is addressing a crisis throughout engineering education, and cyberinfrastructure education regarding decreasing enrollments, under preparation and disengagement of students, and the pressure of faculty to cover increasing volumes of material. Curricula have become stove-piped and disconnected, in spite of research indicating that science and engineering education best resonates with women and underrepresented minority students and when clear connections are drawn to transformative applications and other fields of study. Industry routinely lobbies for better engineering graduates that are at ease when collaborating on teams, and eager to attack hands-on design challenges.The academic/industrial/professional society partnership between Rice University, Georgia Institute of Technology, Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, the University of Texas at El Paso, National Instruments, Texas Instruments, Hewlett-Packard, and the Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers Signal Processing Society directly attacks these issues by aiming to revolutionize the way they teach and learn about cyberinfrastructure. They are guided by a common vision: to prepare the cyberinfrastructure leaders of tomorrow, to break away from the traditional textbook, lecture, homework-based approach to education, and to build a new framework where a vibrant network of educators, students, and field practitioners continually interact, collaborate, connect, and explore interactive content.The innovative aspects and scientific merits of this collaborative project lie in their new approach to building and sustaining virtual educational communities around interactive content and applying the results to the full spectrum of engineering education venues: university undergraduate and graduate courses, industrial training and continuing education, just-in-time on the job learning, and high-school laboratories. Their research focuses on one strategic discipline in engineering, signal processing, and involves and balances education, community development, technology development, marketing and business planning, and impact assessment.The partnership is:1. Implementing a light-weight Technology Framework that enables faculty and student users to exploit and expand upon the existing signal processing education content;2. Building a signal processing Education Network of champions from faculty, students, and industry leaders nationwide that continually expands, improves, and diversifies the materials and that promotes the use of the framework both at network member institutions and at institutions in the wider engineering education community;3. Assessing the effectiveness of the framework and network for accelerating adoption and use as well as the value of the mentoring and support provided by the network of champions;4. Widely Disseminating the results and lessons learned.Broader impacts of this research include the development of people-resources and technologies that will substantially increase the performance and capabilities of engineering educators, effectively opening up engineering education for motivated self-learners in all parts of the nation as well as the world. In particular, education in digital signal processing and related technologies is critical in sustaining many high-tech industries. Finally, digital signal processing educators, practitioners and students will be brought together to form dynamic knowledge sharing communities that greatly impact education not only on their home campuses but around the world.

该项目正在解决整个工程教育的危机，以及有关减少入学率，在学生的准备和脱离接触以及教师覆盖材料增加的压力下的网络基础设施教育。尽管研究表明，课程已成为炉灶和断开连接的，这表明科学和工程教育最能与女性和代表性不足的少数族裔学生共鸣，并且在与变革性应用程序和其他研究领域有明确的联系时。行业通常会游说在团队合作时可以放心的更好工程毕业生，并渴望攻击动手设计挑战。直接通过革新他们的教学方式和了解网络基础设施的方式来直接攻击这些问题。他们的指导下是一个共同的愿景：准备明天的网络基础设施领导者，脱离传统的教科书，讲座，基于家庭工作的教育方法，并建立一个新的框架，在该框架中，充满活力的教育工作者，学生和实地实践者的网络不断互动，协作，连接和探索互动性的社区，以实现互动的互动和探索互动的努力。互动内容并将结果应用于整个工程教育场所：大学本科和研究生课程，工业培训和继续教育，工作学习的及时以及高中实验室。他们的研究重点介绍了工程，信号处理的一项战略学科，并涉及并平衡教育，社区发展，技术发展，市场营销和业务计划以及影响评估。伙伴关系是：1。实施一个轻巧的技术框架，该框架使教师和学生用户能够利用和扩展现有的信号处理教育内容； 2。在全国范围内建立一个由教职员工和行业领导者组成的信号处理教育网络，该网络在全国范围内不断扩展，改善和多样化材料，并在网络成员机构和更广泛的工程教育社区中促进框架使用框架； 3。评估框架和网络在加速采用和使用方面的有效性，以及冠军网络提供的指导和支持的价值； 4。这项研究的影响力的影响包括人们的资源和技术的发展，这些影响将大大提高工程教育者的绩效和能力，从而有效地为全国各地的积极学习者开放工程教育，从而大大提高了人们的研究和能力。特别是，数字信号处理和相关技术的教育对于维持许多高科技行业至关重要。最后，数字信号处理教育者，从业人员和学生将被汇集在一起​​，形成动态知识共享社区，这不仅在其家庭校园内，而且影响了世界各地的教育。
