This project changes the way the engineering curriculum is structured by: 1) repackaging the material taught in the basic engineering sciences into five courses, each of which is based on similar scientific and mathematical background; 2) including in these revised engineering science courses significant engineering design experience. These steps will address several concerns about engineering curricula including: 1) the increasing number of "basic" engineering science courses that result from identifying these courses with the various engineering disciplines; 2) the separation of engineering design from engineering science in the minds of students with the consequent lack of appreciation for the interaction of engineering science with engineering design; 3) an apparent loss of interest by students in creative engineering efforts as a result of the heavy doses of analysis in the engineering sciences. Institutional funds commited to this project are approximately one-third of NSF funds.

这个项目改变了工程课程的结构方式 通过：1）重新包装基础工程中教授的材料 科学分为五门课程，每门课程都基于类似的 科学和数学背景; 2）包括在这些修订 工程科学课程重要的工程设计经验。 这些步骤将解决工程课程的几个问题 包括：1）越来越多的“基础”工程科学 这些课程是通过将这些课程与各种 工程学科; 2）工程设计与 工程科学在学生心目中的缺失 对工程科学与 工程设计; 3）学生对 由于大量的分析， 在工程科学中。 机构资金承诺 项目资金约占NSF资金的三分之一。
