Other Simulation and International Consortium Grants

Roy Crosbie is the principle investigator for three other College of Engineering, Computer Science, and Technology projects. The projects are run by the McLeod Institute of Simulation Sciences with support from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and the Department of Computer Science.

International Consortium for the Exchange of Engineering Students
The Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education (FIPSE) has funded the two U.S. partners, North Dakota State and CSU, Chico, in a consortium of U.S., Canadian, and Mexican universities to exchange engineering students among the three countries. The consortium includes the Canadian universities of Manitoba and Saskatchewan, and the Mexican Autonomous Universities of Zacatecas and Yucatan.

International Collaboration on Modeling and Simulation Graduate Degree
FIPSE granted $202,200 to Crosbie and ECST for their part in a consortium of American and European universities, which will develop a collaborative modeling and simulation graduate degree. While the degree will be primarily Internet based, the funds will allow students to travel to another host country for courses.

High-Level Architecture Education Project
Crosbie and the McLeod Institute are completing the third year of a $100,000 high-level architecture (HLA) education project. HLA is a set of specifications for computer software that was developed initially to enable the military to put together complex training simulation scenarios of battles with trainees located continents apart. The project developed course materials, bibliography, and nonmilitary HLA examples that anyone can download from the McLeod Institute Web site at www.ecst.csuchico.edu/~mcleod.
