The project is a collaborative effort involving Rowan University, Bucknell University, and Tennessee State University that is vertically integrating conceptual knowledge and laboratory experiences in biometrics across the curriculum. Vertical integration refers to a series of laboratory exercises in a given topical area that start as well-structured experiments at the lower levels and proceed to increasingly complex, open-ended design projects at upper levels of the curriculum. The investigators intend to create a national model by developing multi-year curricular material that allows course content in separate classes to be naturally interconnected. The project is providing educational experiences that are training future system designers prepared to deal with the complexity, implementation, and performance evaluation of a variety of biometric methods (face, speech, iris, signature, and fingerprint). Students are also gaining a better knowledge of policy, ethical, and societal impact issues of biometrics. The team is disseminating their material and results through web postings on the project's websites and on the Connexions website (http://cnx.org/), through technical and educational conferences and journal articles, and through a faculty workshop. The project includes outreach to a local community college and to K-12 school teachers. Both internal and external evaluator are using pre- and post-survey data and the results of rubric-based scores on student work with experimental and comparison groups to monitor progress toward project goals. Broader impacts include the broad dissemination, the community college and K-12 outreach, and the focus on the social aspects of the technology.

该项目是罗文大学、巴克内尔大学和田纳西州立大学合作的成果，在整个课程中垂直整合生物识别学的概念知识和实验室经验。垂直整合是指特定主题领域的一系列实验室练习，从较低级别的结构良好的实验开始，并在课程的较高级别进行日益复杂的开放式设计项目。 研究人员打算通过开发多年课程材料来创建一个全国模型，使不同班级的课程内容能够自然地相互关联。 该项目提供教育经验，培训未来的系统设计人员准备处理各种生物识别方法（面部、语音、虹膜、签名和指纹）的复杂性、实施和性能评估。学生还可以更好地了解生物识别技术的政策、道德和社会影响问题。 该团队正在通过在项目网站和 Connexions 网站 (http://cnx.org/) 上发布的网络帖子、技术和教育会议以及期刊文章以及教师研讨会来传播他们的材料和结果。 该项目包括向当地社区大学和 K-12 学校教师进行外展活动。内部和外部评估人员都使用调查前和调查后的数据以及实验组和对照组学生作业的基于评分标准的分数结果来监测项目目标的进展。 更广泛的影响包括广泛传播、社区大学和 K-12 推广以及对技术社会方面的关注。
