The College of Computing at Georgia Tech will receive approximately $2 million over the next three years from the NSF and will use the money to develop these programs in Georgia, with the goal of creating scalable initiatives for the entire United States.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u201cThe core computer science curriculum first established in the 1960\u2019s has become too narrow in focus and too antiquated in application to satisfy the educational objectives of a technology-driven world,\u201d says College of Computing at Georgia Tech Professor Mark Guzdial. \u201cIn anticipation of the expansive and extensive impact that technology will continue to have on our culture and society, it is imperative that educators engage a broader base of potential computer science students, particularly women and minorities, thorough more contextualized and appealing methods and practices. With this grant, the College of Computing at Georgia Tech has an exciting opportunity to integrate a new and highly-creative approach to computer science education across the learning spectrum \u2013 from kindergarten to college, and beyond.\u201d\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EPotential projects funded with this grant include: partnerships with state and local youth-oriented organizations to develop engaging computer science programs to increase participation at the K-12 level; involvement of computer science college undergraduate and graduate level students as mentors; workshops for faculty at other institutions to teach vanguard educational approaches developed by College of Computing at Georgia Tech faculty; support in disseminating curriculum ideas among a developing set of users; and creating streamlined methods of communicating results to peer institutions considering curriculum changes. Work in support of these initiatives began in fall 2006 and will continue through the 2008-2009 academic year.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EGuzdial based the winning proposal on his experience in helping create a Bachelor of Science in Computational Media degree program in 2003, and rebuilding the Bachelor of Science in Computer Science curriculum on the Threads platform in 2006. Developed in recognition of computing\u0027s significant and increasing impact in non-traditional subject areas, these highly-contextualized and transformational approaches have proven successful in engaging a wider spectrum of computer science students. Presently, 23 percent of Computational Media students are women, and the total number of enrolled students has increased 77 percent from 2005 to 2006.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u201cThe computing industry can only achieve its full potential when it best resembles and reflects the users and communities whose lives we are trying to impact,\u201d said Richard A.

Bader, who was nominated by members of the Governance and Nominations Committee, will sit on the Research Advisory Council (RAC) of Internet2 along with two other researchers from MIT and Carnegie Mellon. \u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EThe RAC is responsible for advising the Internet2 Board (consisting primarily of university presidents and CIOs, as well as leaders from industry and research) on matters relating to Internet2\u0027s support for research, both network-focused research and disciplinary research that makes use of the network as a tool. The RAC provides a forum for strategic questions about how best to support the development of resources for scientific, humanities, clinical, computational, and other research communities domestically and internationally. The RAC will also provide advice on the nature and extent of research undertaken by Internet2 staff.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EInternet2 is a not-for-profit advanced networking consortium comprising more than 200 U.S. universities in cooperation with 70 leading corporations, 45 government agencies, laboratories and other institutions of higher learning as well as over 50 international partner organizations. Beyond just providing network capacity, Internet2 and its members actively engage in the development of important new technology including middleware, security, network research and performance measurement capabilities which are critical to the progress of the Internet.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EFor more information and the complete announcement, visit the \u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www.internet2.edu\/elections\u0022\u003EInternet2 website\u003C\/a\u003E.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EFormed in 1996, Internet2 is a\nnon-profit consortium contributing to the advancement of networking\nresearch with projects like the Abiline Network and the National Lambda\nRail (NLR) project, which has deployed the highest bandwidth research\nnetwork in the country.\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":"","uid":"27154","created_gmt":"2010-02-09 21:43:57","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 03:04:49","author":"Louise Russo","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2007-07-27T00:00:00-04:00","iso_date":"2007-07-27T00:00:00-04:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"47223","name":"College of Computing"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}},"51435":{"#nid":"51435","#data":{"type":"news","title":"High Performance Computing and Web Science Initiatives Receive Seed Money from Provost\u0027s Office","body":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EThe Office of the Provost has awarded Focused Research Program (FRP) funding for research proposals in high performance computing for $30,000 and web science for $29,313.
