冒险工程(AE)是一项中级科学和数学推广计划，需要为5年级至9年级的科学和/或数学班级开发和实施为期一天至四周的以冒险为导向、以工程为基础的课程。课程是以探究为基础和开放式的；活动旨在促进学习和应用国家数学和科学标准中确定的概念，并使学生沉浸在工程设计体验中。本文报告了在城市和郊区学校的六个不同的中年级科目中开发和实施英语课程的结果。严格的评估表明，AE课程成功地提高了数学和科学内容的知识。学生对数学和科学的态度也有所改善，在有限的情况下，对工程的态度也有所改善。本文还介绍了城市和郊区学生对数学、科学和工程态度的调查结果。
Adventure Engineering (AE) is a middle grade science and mathematics outreach initiative that entails the development and implementation of single day to four‐week adventure‐driven, engineering‐based curricula for grade 5 through 9 science and/or mathematics classes. The curricula is inquiry‐based and open‐ended; activities are designed to facilitate the learning and application of concepts identified in national mathematics and science standards, and to immerse students in the engineering design experience. This paper reports the findings from the development and implementation of AE curricula in six different middle grade subjects in urban and suburban schools. Rigorous assessment revealed that the AE curricula have successfully improved mathematics and science content knowledge. Student attitudes towards mathematics and science, and in limited cases engineering, also improved. This paper also presents the results of a survey of urban and suburban student attitudes towards mathematics, science and engineering.
