Preparation of New Engineering Professors in Teaching Methods

该项目将开发一门课程、教科书、解决方案手册和录像带，向潜在的工程学教授传授教学技能。这门课程涵盖了从学习理论到教学方法，从道德到评分细节的所有教学材料。这门课程是为计划教职生涯的博士生开设的。此外，还将介绍计算机和互动视盘等技术交付方法。除了提供这本书、解决方案手册和录像带外，还将为希望开设这门课程的其他机构的教员举办研讨会，以鼓励其他人考虑采用这种方法来提高本科工程教育的质量。受赠人为这个项目提供的资金只相当于NSF奖励的一小部分。

The project is to develop a course, textbook, solution manual, and videotapes to teach potential engineering professors the craft of teaching. The course covers the entire range of pedagogical material from learning theories to teaching methods to ethics to the details of grading. The course is for PhD candidates who plan a faculty career. Also, technological methods of delivery such as computers and interactive videodiscs will be presented. In addition to the availability of the book, solution manual and videotapes, a workshop for faculty from other institutions who may wish to offer the course will be held to encourage others to consider this approach to improving the quality of undergraduate engineering education. The grantee provides funds for this project that are a match for a fraction of the NSF award.
