本文评估了一个材料科学与工程专业的本科生在基于问题的计算科学课程中的表现。本课程引导学生应用计算工具和方法来解决材料科学与工程中的问题。该研究评估了在MATLAB®计算挑战的背景下，问题解决过程的各个阶段与计算素养技能之间的关系。学生完成五个项目，需要结合解决问题的能力和计算能力。结果表明，调整计算的挑战与解决问题的阶段，可以支持学生的学习和计算素养技能的发展。研究结果还表明，不同的计算挑战需要不同形式的支持，学习者成功地完成解决问题的过程。
This paper evaluates undergraduate students’ performance during a problem-based computational science course in a materials science and engineering program. The course guides students to apply computational tools and methods to solve problems in materials science and engineering. The study assesses the relationship between phases of the problem-solving process and computational literacy skills in the context of MATLAB® computational challenges. Students complete five projects that require combined problem-solving skills and computational skills. Results suggest that aligning computational challenges with problem solving phases can support student learning and computational literacy skills development. The findings also suggest that different computational challenges require different forms of support for the learners to successfully complete the problem solving process.
