"All Systems Go" --- A Conference

汽车工程师协会正在计划为六年级到八年级开发三个强化单元的可行性，整个课程可以整合几周。这些单位将采取汽车工程设计经验的形式：探索汽车系统、飞行技术和地面运输。这些材料将针对特定的年级水平，并以动态的方式利用多种社区资源。计划期间将与其他主要国家课程小组、教育研究人员和中学人员合作，并开发形成综合学习体验核心的技术挑战的原型。根据他们对World in Motion的经验，该项目将通过与企业和大学的工程师互动，覆盖全国约10%的学生群体。该项目的目标还包括企业、专业协会和大学之间的长期合作，让个别工程师参与到中学生的教育中来，以及鼓励更多多样化的学生将工程视为职业。规划期是建立一个方案开发办公室，召开规划会议以建立合作，开发并获得对原型的反应，并准备一份开发课程单元的提案。

The Society of Automotive Engineers is planning the feasibility for the development of three intensive units for grades six through eight about which the entire curriculum could be integrated for a few weeks. The units would take the form of automotive engineering design experiences: exploring automotive systems, flight technology and ground transportation. The materials would be targeted to specific grade levels and engage multiple community resources in dynamic ways. The planning period is to form collaborations with the other major national curriculum groups, and educational researchers and middle school personnel and to develop the prototype of the technological challenges which form the core of the integrated learning experience. Based on their experience with The World in Motion, the project will reach about 10% of the student body nationally through interactions with engineers in corporations and universities. The goals of the project also include the long term collaboration of businesses, professional societies and universities, the involvement of individual engineers with the education of middle school students, and the encouragement of a greater diversity of students to consider engineering as a career. The planning period is to establish a program development office, to hold a planning conference to establish the collaborations, to develop and obtain reaction to a prototype and to prepare a proposal for developing the curriculum units.
