“CITRIS Education Initiative”

September 18th, 2001

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

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

WISE: overview of current work

• Mike Clancy, Marcia Linn, Jim Slotta– 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.)

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

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

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 CITRIS’s 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)

Longer Term Plan

• Other degree programs in focus areas– High performance Communication Networks

– Wireless Systems

– Embedded Computing

– MEMS

– Internet-based Design, Manufacturing, and Commerce

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 Berkeley’s CyberCut/CyberBuild system for Internet-based manufacturing etc...

Remote Students

Final FDM Casing

CyberCut/CyberBuild

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 visualizations…etc...

Education Council; activities at other campuses; intra-campus units

• Education Council: Paul Wright, Marcia Linn, Mike Clancy @ Berkeley, Pat Mantey @ UCSC, Jeff Wright @ UCM, Yoo or Mathews @ 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

• Tele-laboratories • (Mechanical Rapid-Prototyping, MEMS, Microlab,

Robotics )

• Masters degrees for professionals

• Merced collaboration

• New graduate courses

• Connections with other campuses and units

End…but also see additional slides and please come to afternoon session on tele-

laboratories and smart class-rooms

• Invitation for collaboration…possibilities...– Better HCI interfaces for smart classrooms– 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

• Very successful lecture series each semester

• Conferences this Spring• Digital Music (w/Boalt)

• Digital Television / Internet Convergence (w/Boalt)

New staff have made big differences...

• Susan Reneau - Hired as AA3 in January of 2000 to register students, update Web etc.,

MOT development results as of March 16, 2001 Executive Director: Drew Isaacs

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

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

Possible costs of Masters in MOT

• Published cost based on Stanford’s TV programs $3,600 per course = $28,800 total

• Partners such as NEC will support students

•

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?

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

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...)”
