这项工作提出了一个交互式仿真软件包，提供一个环境工程设计项目。这项工作的主要目标是用一个复杂而相关的设计项目来补充基于理论的课程内容，并且这样做不会增加学生的课程负担或对教师提出过多的时间要求。研究型教师的另一个目标是提供一种有效的机制，将当前的研究成果和实验技术注入课程。管理设计项目的软件被称为交互式网站调查软件（ISIS）。本文总结了ISIS开发的基本原理，概述了ISIS所需的教师生成的输入，并详细介绍了当前的ISIS功能。这些功能允许学生钻孔，收集岩心样品，建造威尔斯，收集地下水样品，提交样品进行实验室分析，并在虚拟的危险废物现场进行水力和运输实验。对综合信息系统的可用性和有用性的初步反馈一般是积极的，自动数据申请和分发大大减少了项目对教员的行政要求。常见的学生抱怨涉及到在面临截止日期压力时对软件的控制访问，对他们工作产品的不确定期望，以及需要真实的实时建议。
This work presents an interactive simulation software package for delivering an environmental engineering design project. The primary goal of the effort is to supplement theory‐based course content with a complex and relevant design project, and to do so without increasing student course loads or placing excessive time demands on instructors. An additional goal for research‐based instructors is to provide an efficient mechanism for infusing current research findings and experimental techniques into the curriculum. The software that administers the design project is called Interactive Site Investigation Software (ISIS). This paper summarizes the rationale for the development of ISIS, outlines the instructor‐generated input required by ISIS, and details current ISIS features. These features allow students to drill boreholes, collect core samples, construct wells, collect groundwater samples, submit samples for laboratory analysis, and execute hydraulic and transport experiments at a virtual hazardous waste site. Initial feedback on the usability and usefulness of ISIS was generally positive, and the automated data requisition and dispensation substantially reduced the project's administrative demands on the instructor. Common student complaints pertained to controlled access to the software in the face of deadline pressure, uncertain expectations regarding their work product, and the need for real‐time advice.
