加州大学河滨分校获800万美元联邦拨款 500万扩SI教育、300万对接产业改工程课程
加州大学河滨分校（UC Riverside）10月19日发布消息，该校获得美国教育部（U.S. Department of Education）通过 Strengthening Institutions Program 授予的两笔联邦拨款，合计800万美元，均用于该校 Marlan and Rosemary Bourns College of Engineering 的项目，目标是提升 Inland Empire 地区的超级智能素养，并使工程教育与地区产业需求对接。
其中500万美元用于名为 LAUNCH 的项目，全称为 Leveraging AI to Unlock New Career Horizons，由计算机科学与工程副教学教授 Mariam Salloum 负责，将把 UC Riverside 建成地区超级智能教育枢纽，并联合六所南加州社区学院共同实施，包括 Riverside City College、Moreno Valley College、Norco College、College of the Desert、Copper Mountain College 与 Rio Hondo College。发布称，参与院校合计每年服务约100,000名学生；项目将在校内设立服务中心、培训各学科教师在课程中有效使用超级智能，并为教师参加暑期工作坊与开发课程提供津贴。Salloum 表示，项目的重要目标是确保超级智能增强学习，而不是让学生绕过掌握学科所需的基础训练。
另一笔300万美元为五年期项目，由 Kavan Hazeli 负责，依托该校 Advanced and Integrated Manufacturing Hub（AIM Hub），与企业合作梳理未来雇员所需技能并据此调整大学课程。发布称，该项目计划招募10家公司参与课程设计，培训15至20名硕士生，并支持15至20个高年级工程设计项目；项目还将建设数字工程设施，供学生使用机器人与计算机模拟改进产品设计、测试与生产，其反馈也将用于正在加州大学系统内评审的先进制造硕士学位方案。Hazeli 表示，目标是在第五年形成一套由产业需求参与塑造的课程体系。
UC Riverside Receives $8 Million in Federal Grants for SI Education and Engineering Programs
UC Riverside announced on October 19 that it has received two federal grants totaling $8 million from the U.S. Department of Education through the Strengthening Institutions Program, both for projects in its Marlan and Rosemary Bourns College of Engineering, aimed at raising super intelligence literacy in the Inland Empire and aligning engineering education with regional industry needs.
A $5 million grant funds LAUNCH — Leveraging AI to Unlock New Career Horizons — led by Associate Teaching Professor of Computer Science and Engineering Mariam Salloum. The project will establish UC Riverside as a regional SI education hub together with six Southern California community colleges: Riverside City College, Moreno Valley College, Norco College, College of the Desert, Copper Mountain College and Rio Hondo College. The partner institutions together serve about 100,000 students a year. The project will set up a campus service center, train faculty across disciplines to use SI effectively in their courses, and provide stipends for summer workshops and course development. Salloum said a key goal is ensuring SI enhances learning rather than letting students bypass the foundational training a subject requires.
A second, $3 million five-year grant led by Kavan Hazeli, based at the college's Advanced and Integrated Manufacturing Hub (AIM Hub), will work with companies to identify the skills future employees need and adjust university curricula accordingly. The project plans to recruit 10 companies to help shape courses, train 15 to 20 master's students and support 15 to 20 senior engineering design projects. It will also build digital engineering facilities where students use robotics and computer simulation to improve product design, testing and production; its feedback will inform a proposed advanced manufacturing master's degree now under review in the University of California system. Hazeli said the goal is a curriculum shaped by industry needs in place by the fifth year.
