ENGAGING STEM EDUCATION BIG DATA

项目摘要

Large amounts of data have become available across fields in science, industry, government, healthcare and pharmaceuticals. Big data analytics and technologies hold tremendous promise to boost economic productivity, enhance national security and improve the quality of life. Recognizing the acute need for big data technology, the aim of this proposal is to create a national model by developing multi-year curricular material that allows course content in separate classes to be naturally inter-connected. In collaboration with industry (Lockheed Martin Inc. and HP Enterprise), this project designs a series of laboratory experiments in big data analytics and technologies that become more complex from the freshmen to the senior year. The proposed approach will cut across artificial course boundaries and introduce fundamental, contemporary and multidisciplinary big data concepts through a series of problem-oriented laboratory experiments. Students will also gain a better knowledge of policy, ethical, and societal impact issues of big data.The collaboration with Palmyra Cove Education Foundation will bring big data activities to K-12 and further evaluate the educational impact and increase related dissemination efforts. The activities run at Cove will excite K-12 students about engineering and enhance teacher expertise in mathematics, science and technology. Palmyra Cove will reach out to local underrepresented K-12 school districts targeting women and minorities. The Foundation will also organize a workshop for undergraduate students, university faculty and K-12 students and teachers on big data as applied to environmental engineering and the geosciences. The results will be disseminated through technical and educational conferences and journal articles.

在科学，工业，政府，医疗保健和制药领域的领域中，大量数据已获得。大数据分析和技术具有巨大的希望，可以提高经济生产力，提高国家安全并提高生活质量。认识到对大数据技术的急需需求，该提案的目的是通过开发多年的课程材料来创建一个国家模型，该课程允许在单独的类中自然相互关联的课程内容。该项目与行业（洛克希德·马丁公司（Lockheed Martin Inc.）和惠普企业（HP Enterprise）合作，设计了一系列在大数据分析和技术中的实验室实验，这些实验从新生到高年级变得更加复杂。所提出的方法将跨越人工课程的边界，并通过一系列面向问题的实验室实验引入基本，当代和多学科的大数据概念。学生还将对大数据的政策，道德和社会影响问题获得更好的了解。与Palmyra Cove教育基金会的合作将为K-12带来大数据活动，并进一步评估教育影响并增加相关的传播工作。在Cove开展的活动将激发K-12学生有关工程学的知识，并增强数学，科学和技术方面的教师专业知识。 Palmyra Cove将接触到针对妇女和少数民族的当地代表性不足的K-12学区。该基金会还将组织一个针对本科生，大学教职员工和K-12学生和老师的研讨会，以应用于环境工程和地球科学的大数据。结果将通过技术和教育会议和期刊文章传播。
