Civil Engineering Education Improvement Project

小行星9319764 美国土木工程师协会（ASCE）建议在1994 - 96财政年度期间开展一项合作资助的教育改进项目，包括一次评估、三次讲习班、一次会议和编写报告，以传播有关过去、当前和未来影响土木工程和相关专业/学科的教育变化的调查结果。 该项目将有以下目的： 1. "“ 评估过去15年ASCE教育会议上提出的建议的成果。 2. "“ 编写一份基线评估和评价报告，将调查结果通报给资助该项目的组织以及下述讲习班和会议的与会者，供其在审议期间使用。 3. "“ 举办关于课程创新、质量管理和教育与实践之间的接口的讲习班，将数量有限的高素质从业人员和教育工作者聚集在一起，以便： "“ O 审查，评估和改进土木（和土木相关）工程课程。 "“ O 提出加强教育工作者、学生和从业人员之间互动的策略。 "“ O 预测未来土木工程领导人的特点，并建议如何教育年轻工程师发展这些特点。 "“ O 审查和评估土木工程教育中持续质量改进过程的潜力。 "“ O 提出执行建议的备选战略。 4. "“ 准备一份研讨会报告，一份“实施议程”，突出重点问题，提出替代方案，选择和实施战略，以便为资助组织提供对工程教育当前提案的深入评估，同时也促进了随后会议上更多观众的讨论。 5. "“ 利用上述讨论和报告，召开一次全国会议（其资金不属于本提案的一部分），将学术界和实践界的大量土木工程教育领导人聚集在一起，学习、建议并随后协助实施所讨论的替代方案和选项。 6. "“ 编写并广泛分发一份简明的项目总结报告和执行战略，并附有建议和备选执行战略。***

9319764 Yao The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) proposes to conduct, during FY 1994 96, a cooperatively funded Education Improvement Project, including an Evaluation, three Workshops, a Conference, and preparation of Reports to disseminate findings, relative to past, current, and future changes in education affecting civil engineering and related specialties/disciplines. The project will have the following purposes: 1. ` ` Evaluate the outcomes of recommendations made over the past fifteen years at ASCE education conferences. 2. ` ` Prepare a Baseline Assessment and Evaluation Report, communicating the findings to the organizations funding this Project and to participants in the Workshops and Conference described below, for their use during deliberations. 3. ` ` Conduct Workshops on curriculum innovation, quality management, and the interface between education and practice, bringing together limited numbers of highly qualified practitioners and educators so as to: ` ` o Review, evaluate and improve the civil (and civil related) engineering curriculum. ` ` o Propose strategies to strengthen interaction among educators, students, and practitioners. ` ` o Forecast characteristics of civil engineering leaders of the future and suggest ways to educate young engineers in developing these characteristics. ` ` o Review and evaluate the potential for a continuous quality improvement process within civil engineering education. ` ` o Propose alternative strategies for implementation of recommendations. 4. ` ` Prepare a workshop report, an "Agenda for Implementation," highlighting key issues and presenting alternatives, options, and implementation strategies, so as to provide the funding organizations with insightful evaluations of current proposals in engineering education, while also facilitating discussion by a larger audience at the subsequent Conference. 5. ` ` Conduct a National Conference, (funding for which is not part of this proposal), using the deliberations and reports above, which will bring together a large number of leaders in civil engineering education, from both academia and practice, to learn, advise, and subsequently assist in implementing the alternatives and options under discussion. 6. ` ` Prepare and disseminate widely a succinct concluding Project Report and Implementation Strategies, with recommendations and alternative implementation strategies. ***
