1. “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

4. WISE: previous & current work Mike Clancy, Marcia Linn, Jim Slotta, Nate Titterton, several graduate students… –Innovative combination of School of Education’s 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

8. Related short term experiment 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 Berkeley’s CyberCut/CyberBuild system for custom, Internet-based manufacturing...

9. Remote Students Final FDM Casing CyberCut/CyberBuil d

10. Final Mote MEMS / MUMPS

11. Casing Samples Summit !ntro Coach’s companion bentoBox

12. 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 visualizations…etc...

13. Education Council Education Council: Paul Wright, Marcia Linn, Mike Clancy @ Berkeley, Pat Mantey @ UCSC, Jeff Wright @ UCM, Prof. Matthews @ 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)

14. Resummarizing the Education Plan Merced collaboration Continuation with Berkeley’s 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
