- SEEK Exec
- Members of the SEEK Exec proposed establishing a working group to design and implement the distributed graduate seminar.
- The course should be held at 3-4 of the SEEK institutions.
- Proposed institutions include UC Davis, UCSB, KU and UNM.
- Current point people
- Bertram and Shawn, UC Davis
- Mark Schildhauer, UC SB
- Samantha Romanello and Deana Pennington, UNM
- James Beach?!?!, KU
- Class format was discussed.
- Parrallel seminars that are coordinated enough to meet and overlap and
- Both computer science classes and ecology classes
- Each class could answer a regional biological/ecological question; data needed about 4 to 5 datasets which could then be used to synthesized across regions to answer the same biological/ecological question at a national scale
- KEY ISSUES
- Defining an interesting project from the ecology side that would also have an interesting enough computer science component.
- suggestions included
- Comparing and contrasting and knowledge representation of key ecological/biological issues
- Have students work on creating real application workflows
- Identifying individuals from both the computer science and biology/ecology side to assist in teaching the course
- students should be able to get a publishable paper from class participation
- make sure the credit hours reflect the amount of outside class work
- Identify data that would be available – grassland biodiversity --
- Establish a working group to design the distributed graduate seminar
- Establish an point person at each university for infrastructure (i.e., getting course *number,advertising course, etc.0
- Establish a working group page
- Set up meeting for every two weeks
