SPIRE-EIT (Summer Program for Interdisciplinary Research and Education - Emerging InterfaceTechnologies) at Iowa State University is a 10-week summer program for undergraduates that integrates research and education in emerging interface technologies. Students gain hands-on research experience using cyberinfrastructure and take brief focused classes in computer programming and graphics, and human computer interaction. For the remaining time, students conduct interdisciplinary research projects in groups. The research projects are presented at an end-of-the summer campus-wide research symposium in the form of posters, demos, and a five-page research paper. Intellectual Merit: Two major trends are driving research in Emerging Interface Technologies: a dramatic increase in interface technologies themselves, and the ubiquitous permeation of technology into everyday lives. Correspondingly, research questions focus on four broad areas of EIT: information visualization, mobile/ubiquitous interfaces, intelligent agents, and enabling infrastructure. Faculty in ISU's HCI graduate program compete to participate in the SPIRE and cite strong benefits from participation afterwards. Broader Impact: Both the HCI program and SPIRE-EIT recruit with an emphasis on underrepresented groups, preparing students for graduate education in the interdisciplinary area of HCI, an area of importance to the US economy. By including instruction on ethics and on research-based evaluation techniques, the SPIRE gives students skills that are useful lifelong, independent of discipline, and which students might not otherwise encounter in a traditional engineering or computer science curriculum. Each year, the SPIRE projects typically result in one-two professional academic conference presentations with SPIRE students as co-authors, disseminating its research results.

爱荷华州立大学的Spire-EIT（跨学科研究和教育夏季计划 - 新兴的Interfacetechnologies）是一个为期10周的夏季计划，针对本科生，该计划将研究和教育整合到新兴界面技术中。学生使用网络基础设施获得动手研究经验，并在计算机编程和图形上进行简短的专注课程以及人类的计算机互动。在剩余的时间里，学生会分组进行跨学科研究项目。研究项目以海报，演示和一份五页的研究论文的形式在夏季校园范围内的研究结束介绍。知识分子的优点：两个主要趋势是推动新兴界面技术的研究：界面技术本身的急剧增长，而无处不在的技术渗透到日常生活中。相应地，研究问题侧重于四个广泛的EIT领域：信息可视化，移动/无处不在的接口，智能代理和启用基础架构。 ISU的HCI研究生课程中的教师参加了尖峰的参与，并从参与中引用了很大的好处。 更广泛的影响：HCI计划和Spire-Eit招募人员都强调了代表性不足的群体，为学生在HCI跨学科领域的研究生教育做好准备，这对美国经济很重要。通过包括道德和基于研究的评估技术的指导，尖顶为学生提供了有用的终身，独立于纪律的技能，并且学生在传统的工程或计算机科学课程中可能不会遇到哪些。每年，Spire的预测通常会导致与Spire学生作为合着者的一两个专业学术会议演讲，从而传播其研究结果。
