Civil Engineering Exploration Curriculum

这个项目的目标是为一年级的大学和高中生开发一个使用激励性视频的教学模块，随后的角色扮演和课堂项目。该模块使用先进的技术来传递以下信息：(1)工程职业很重要，很受尊重，具有智力挑战性，具有创造性和社会责任感。(2)工程不仅仅是一种“人”的职业。(3)每个人都懂技术是很重要的。目前正在成立一个咨询委员会，以审查和修订材料的编写。正在为视频材料编写剧本，一个由大学和高中教师和学生组成的团队正在编写教学材料。将制定制作视频材料的计划，并在两所大学的工程学入门课程和纽约州选定的高中的工程原理特别课程中测试该模块。

The goal of this project is to develop an instructional module for first-year college, and senior high school, students that uses a stimulating video, subsequent role playing, and class projects. The module uses advanced technology to deliver the following messages: (1) Careers in engineering are important, well respected, intellectually challenging, creative, and socially responsible. (2) Engineering is not just a "man's" profession. (3) It is important for everyone to be technologically literate. An Advisory Board is being formed to review and revise the development of the material. A script is being developed for the video material, and a team of university and high school teachers and students is writing instructional materials. Plans will be developed to produce the video material and to test the module in introductory engineering courses at two universities and in a special course on the Principles of Engineering at selected high schools in New York State.
