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. ***

9319764 Yao 美国土木工程师学会 (ASCE) 提议在 1994 财年 96 期间开展一项合作资助的教育改进项目，包括一项评估、三个讲习班、一次会议以及准备报告以传播与影响土木工程和相关专业/学科的教育的过去、当前和未来变化相关的调查结果。 该项目将具有以下目的： 1. ` ` 评估过去十五年来在 ASCE 教育会议上提出的建议的结果。 2. ` ` 准备一份基线评估和评价报告，将调查结果传达给资助该项目的组织以及下述研讨会和会议的参与者，以供审议期间使用。 3. ` ` 举办关于课程创新、质量管理以及教育与实践之间的衔接的研讨会，汇集数量有限的高素质从业者和教育工作者，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、学生和从业者之间互动的策略。 `` o 预测未来土木工程领导者的特征，并提出教育年轻工程师发展这些特征的方法。 `` 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 提出实施建议的替代战略。 4. ` ` 准备一份研讨会报告，即“实施议程”，强调关键问题并提出替代方案、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刻评估，同时也促进随后会议上更多受众的讨论。 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），会议将汇集来自学术界和实践界的土木工程教育领域的大量领导者，以学习、建议并随后协助实施正在讨论的替代方案和选项。 6. ` ` 准备并广泛传播一份简明的项目总结报告和实施策略，以及建议和替代实施策略。 ***
