“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

COE Faculty Meeting April 2001
• Recommendations from two committees– Instructional Technology & Distance Learning– Management of Technology
MOT Background
• Seven MOT core courses already exist to provide an integrated view of critical aspects of technology management -- Many related courses for students
• 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.,
• Drew Isaacs - Hired by Haas in August 1999 to teach a course and then, in addition, hired from May 2000 as MOT Executive Director. Also since January 2001, co-funded by COE as Executive Director

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...)”
