Integration of Liberal and Professional Studies in Engineering

这个项目改变了工程学的教育经验 学生，以帮助毕业生发展的能力，整合他们的 与其他专业人员的知识，以综合 多学科问题的适当和创新解决办法 这需要了解社会、文化和经济状况， 涉及的问题。 这是由三个不同的学生完成的 经验：1）在大一的经验，以显示 工程和技术开发是一个 现代社会; 2）对当代社会问题的持续研究 强调人类活动和知识的关联性; 3） 一个顶点设计经验涉及团队的学生和教师 为真实的生活问题和情况制定建议的解决方案。 受赠方为该项目提供的资金是 NSF奖。

This project changes the educational experience for engineering students to help the graduate develop the ability to integrate their knowledge with that of other professionals in order to synthesize appropriate and innovative solutions to multidisciplinary problems which require an understanding of the social, cultural and economic questions involved. This is accomplished by three distinctive student experiences: 1) An experience during the freshman year to show engineering and technology development as integral activities of a modern society; 2) a continuing study of issues in contemporary society emphasizing the connected nature of human activities and knowledge; 3) a capstone design experience involving teams of students and faculty developing proposed solutions to real life problems and situations. The grantee provides funds for this project that are more than twice the NSF award.
