CITRIS Education Initiative

• September 18th, 2001

2
Main topics from Education Plan in the original
CITRIS proposal

• Tele-laboratories and smart classrooms
• (Mechanical Rapid-Prototyping, MEMS, Microlab,
  Robotics in CS and IEOR)
• Masters degrees for professionals
• Merced collaboration based on WISE
• New graduate courses
• Connections 4 UC campuses and their units

3
UC-MERCED Schedule (Draft)

• Timetable
• By Fall 2002 offer CS3 (Introduction to Symbolic
  Computing for Non Majors)
• Instructors and freshmen at local remote learning
  centers (the main campus will not be open but
  students will enroll in local community colleges)
  
• By 2004 -- Other courses
• Juniors will be on campus at that time

4
WISE overview of current work

• Mike Clancy, Marcia Linn, Jim Slotta
• Innovative combination of School of Educations
  pedagogical research with CS...
• Extend CS3 findings to other CS subjects
• Expect Merced faculty (and others) will use in
  course design and organization of material
• Establish tools then use in other engineering
  disciplines and subjects (Chem 1a.)

5
For immediate delivery to Merced...

• Course components of CS3
• Lecture excerpts, Labs, Homework Exams
• Database that organizes them
• Links and dependencies among components
• Rationale for each component
• Critical review facility for sample courses

6
Ongoing research in WISE

• Enhance role of instructor as learning partner
• Curriculum designer for project based CS courses
• Course builder for individual tailoring of
  material
• Customizer for different aptitudes/levels
• Portal with links to other resources

7
Additional Recommendation from COE committee on
Distance Learning

• Management of Technology (MOT) is an ongoing
  success story that integrates expertise from
  the College of Engineering and the Haas School of
  Business
• Other than Merced, it has the quickest hit
  potential for CITRISs Distance Learning Mission
• Core group of faculty interested in offering a
  Masters Program in MOT by Distance Learning
  (passed through Graduate Study Committee and
  being refined)

8
Longer Term Plan

• Other degree programs in focus areas
• High performance Communication Networks
• Wireless Systems
• Embedded Computing
• MEMS
• Internet-based Design, Manufacturing, and Commerce

9
Short term experiments

• ME221 (High Tech Product Design and Rapid
  Manufacturing)
• Regular ME graduate class in the 203 TV studio
  in McLauglin also being Webcast to Intel, Sony
  and NEC in Santa Clara locations ( 12
  off-campus students)
• Will design products, send files to Berkeleys
  CyberCut/CyberBuild system for Internet-based
  manufacturing etc...

Example of 1) teaching and 2) research at other
campuses

• E.g. Professor Mantey at Santa Cruz
• 1) Matched pair of classrooms between main campus
  and Cupertino -- Supports synchronous delivery of
  an MS in Network Engineering
• 2) Research on a) computer supported
  collaborative protocols, b) floor controls, c)
  smart notes, d) on-line office hours, e)
  multi-party visualizationsetc...

12
Education Council activities at other campuses
intra-campus units

• Education Council Paul Wright, Marcia Linn, Mike
  Clancy _at_ Berkeley, Pat Mantey _at_ UCSC, Jeff Wright
  _at_ UCM, Yoo or Mathews _at_ UCD
• Intra-campus collaboration example the
  Educational Technology Committee at Berkeley led
  by Christina Maslach and Philip Stark.
• Webcasting based on 1995 work by Berkeley
  Multimedia Research Center (BMRC), being used by
  Educational Technology Services (ETS) and by
  Information Systems and Technology (ITS)

13
Resummarizing the Education Plan

• Tele-laboratories
• (Mechanical Rapid-Prototyping, MEMS, Microlab,
  Robotics )
• Masters degrees for professionals
• Merced collaboration
• New graduate courses
• Connections with other campuses and units

14
Endbut also see additional slides and please
come to afternoon session on tele-laboratories
and smart class-rooms

• Expansion of tele-laboratory access and use
• Visualization tools for collaboration
• A generalized assessment module for cross
  disciplinary purposes
• Content providers
• Networking support for collaboration

  technology management -- Many related courses for
  students

Proposed Distance Learning Masters Degree

• Berkeley (COE Haas Studios)
• Silicon Valley studio
• Tokyo
• Some classes could be simultaneous 7am-2pm in
  Tokyo 2pm-9pm in Berkeley
• Others could be non-simultaneous like the present
  BIBS system

33
Masters Degree in MOT

• Two years likely 2 classes per semester
• Required courses in both engineering and business
  to maintain balance
• 24 units in total
• 7 main classes 1 independent study
• Summer residence period

34
Possible costs of Masters in MOT

• Published cost based on Stanfords TV programs
  3,600 per course 28,800 total
• Partners such as NEC will support students

35
Issues being hammered out now...

• Administration
• Which system will register students and track
  progress and grades? (IDS Haas office?)
• How will individual instructors be rewarded in
  their various donors accounts?
• Media
• What specific formats will we use to deliver
  instruction?
• Outreach
• How many industrial partners needed beyond NEC?

36
CITRIS related Innovations in Distance Learning

• Professional Degrees and Certificates by Distance
  Learning
• Undergraduate Educational Investments at Berkeley
  and Merced
• A Tele-Laboratory Center
• Micro Lab ( MEMS ) in EECS
• Rapid prototyping lab in ME
• Robotics labs in IEOR, EECS, and ME

37
A personal view...

• The life-experience of a campus is personal
  contact, discussion, and dialogue among students
  and faculty. This must remain the gold standard
  for a Berkeley degree. But the CITRIS life-long
  learning center can provide the pre-campus (e.g.
  PCA), and post-campus experiences (e.g. MOT and
  MEMS degrees in the Valley...)
