本文介绍了密歇根大学安娜堡分校机械工程与应用力学系的新本科课程。1992年，一项全面的评估启动了该项目的重组，其中包括对校友、学生和行业代表的调查，以及对当前趋势和未来需求的教师评估。该计划旨在解决新生不断变化的背景，为学生在工作场所迎接新的多样化挑战做好准备，并为课程提供一个随着技术变化而发展的结构。新课程包括三门设计与制造综合课程、两门实验课程和几门重新设计的工程科学课程。重新设计的课程为学生提供了广泛的实践经验，团队合作和技术交流的全面经验，以及锻炼和发展创造力的机会。
This paper describes the new undergraduate program in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. The restructuring of the program was initiated by a comprehensive review in 1992 that included surveys of alumni, students, and industrial representatives, as well as faculty assessment of current trends and future needs. The program is intended to address the changing backgrounds of incoming students, to prepare the students for new and diverse challenges in the workplace, and to provide a structure for the curriculum to evolve with changing technology. The new curriculum consists of three integrated courses in Design and Manufacturing, two Laboratory courses, and several redesigned courses in the Engineering Sciences. The redesigned program provides students with extensive hands‐on experience, a comprehensive experience in teamwork and technical communication, and the opportunity to exercise and develop their creativity.
