提高工程/计算机专业学生的保留率和提高学生的设计技能是工程教育面临的两大挑战。本文介绍了一个团队的努力，以实施协作项目为基础的学习(CPBL)使用平板电脑技术，在广泛的工程和计算机科学课程，从一年级到高级。这里提出了一些创新的教学策略，以创造一个更友好和互动的学习环境，以应对上述少数族裔学生面临的挑战。自2009年秋季以来，已设计并实施了8个创新试点课程。评估结果显示，基于平板电脑的CPBL的实施给传统的工科课堂带来了变革，以支持以学生为中心的学习。本文还从教师和学生两个角度描述了基于平板电脑的教学策略对讲课风格、教学效果和学生学习结果的影响。
Increasing the retention rate of engineering/ computer science students and enhancing student design skills are two major challenges in engineering education. This paper presents a team effort to implement Collaborative Project-based Learning (CPBL) using Tablet PC technology in a broad spectrum of engineering and computer science courses from freshman to senior level. Presented here are a number of innovative teaching strategies to create a more friendly and interactive learning environment to address the aforementioned challenges for minority students. Since Fall 2009, eight innovative pilot courses have been designed and conducted. Assessment results revealed that the implementation of Tablet PC based CPBL had brought transformational changes to the traditional engineering classrooms to support student centered-learning. The paper also describes the impact of Tablet PC based teaching strategy on lecture styles, teaching effectiveness and student learning outcomes from both the faculty and students' perspectives.
