Use of Technology for Undergraduate Engineering Education

该项目的目标是应用工程师创造的技术--将工程工作站连接到交互式视盘--来改进本科工程教育。第一步是确定由工程工作站组成的技术基准，其中包括外围设备、软件规范、用户界面和原型教学模块。这一技术基线将使四个机构组成的联合体能够交流其他机构编制的模块并对其进行评价。这些机构承诺提供的配套资金大约是NSF为该项目提供的资金的1.5倍。

The objective of this project is to apply technology created by engineers -- the engineering workstation interfaced to an interactive video disk -- for the improvement of undergraduate engineering education. A first step is to define a technology baseline consistig of an engineering workstation with peripherals, software specifications, user interface, and prototype instructional modules. This technology baseline will permit the consortium of four institutions to exchange modules and evaluate modules prepared by the other institutions. The institutions have commited matching funds that are approximately one and one-half times the funds granted by NSF for this project.
