Civil Engineering Exploration Curriculum

这个项目的目标是为大学一年级和高中学生开发一个教学模块，该模块使用一个刺激的视频，随后的角色扮演和课堂项目。该模块使用先进的技术传递以下信息：(1)工程职业是重要的，备受尊重的，智力挑战，创造性和社会责任。工程不仅仅是“男人”的职业。对每个人来说，掌握技术知识是很重要的。目前正在成立一个咨询委员会，以审查和修订材料的编写。视频材料的脚本正在开发中，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。将制订计划制作录象材料，并在两所大学的入门工程课程和在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.
