CITRIS Education Plan

• June 11th, 2002
• Pat Mantey (Santa Cruz)
• Harry Matthews (Davis)
• Jeff Wright (Merced)
• Paul Wright (Berkeley)

2
Main Topics for Education Plan

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

3
UC-MERCED Schedule

• Timetable
• By Fall 2002 offer CS3 (Introduction to Symbolic
  Computing for Non Majors)
• Basis for novel innovative signature course that
  will be very visible at UC Merced
• Common freshman year so has to be CS relevant
  as well as (say) Bio-oriented and other
  disciplines
• Research on course to allow maximum appeal
• Start testing course with local community
  colleges
• By 2004 -- Other courses
• Juniors will be on campus at that time

WISE previous current work

• Mike Clancy, Marcia Linn, Jim Slotta, Nate
  Titterton, several graduate students
• 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 CS course
• 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 Education

• 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
Other Plans

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

• ME221 (High Tech Product Design and Rapid
  Manufacturing)
• Regular ME graduate class in the 203 TV studio
  in McLaughlin. Was Webcast to Intel, Sony and NEC
  in Santa Clara locations ( 12 off-campus
  students)
• Designed products sent files to Berkeleys
  CyberCut/CyberBuild system for custom,
  Internet-based manufacturing...

Previous examples of 1) teaching and 2) research
at affiliated 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...

Education Council

• Education Council Paul Wright, Marcia Linn, Mike
  Clancy _at_ Berkeley, Pat Mantey _at_ UCSC, Jeff Wright
  _at_ UCM, Prof. Matthews _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)

Resummarizing the Education Plan

• Merced collaboration
• Continuation with Berkeleys Education group
• IT innovation for ABET accreditation
• IT service-learning
• Connections with other campuses and units
• Tele-laboratories
• (Mechanical Rapid-Prototyping, MEMS, Microlab,
  Robotics )
• Masters degrees for professionals
• New graduate courses
