Civil Engineering Education Improvement Project

9319764 Yao美国土木工程师学会（ASCE）提议在1994 - 96财政年度开展一项合作资助的教育改进项目，包括一次评估、三次研讨会、一次会议和准备报告，以传播有关土木工程和相关专业/学科的教育过去、现在和未来变化的发现。该项目将有以下目的：1。评估过去15年在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估报告，将结果传达给资助本项目的组织以及下文所述的研讨会和会议的参与者，供他们在审议期间使用。”3. 举办关于课程创新、质量管理和教育与实践衔接的研讨会，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（及土木相关）工程课程。提出加强教育者、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，并提出培养年轻工程师这些特征的方法。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”，突出关键问题，并提出替代方案，选择和实施策略，以便为资助组织提供对工程教育当前提案的深刻评估，同时也促进后续会议上更多听众的讨论。“召开一次全国会议，（其资金不属于本提案的一部分），利用上述审议和报告，将汇集大量土木工程教育领域的领导者，来自学术界和实践，学习，建议，并随后协助实施讨论中的替代方案和选择。”6. 编写并广泛传播一份简洁的项目总结报告和实施战略，其中包括建议和备选实施战略。＊＊＊

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. ***
