Integrating Computer Software into Lower Division Engineering and Engineering Technology Courses

乔治王子社区学院，拉戈，MD （PGCC）将在1995年夏季举行为期五天的研讨会，将计算机软件集成到较低部门的工程和工程技术课程。讲习班将面向20名来自工程、工程技术和科学领域的教师，他们在大西洋中部各州的社区学院和高级院校教授低年级课程。研讨会将包括讲座/演示，可视化活动，以及使用Math CAD， MicroCAP， LogicWorks和PADS进行计算机操作。每个参与者将从三个不同的课程中带来三个问题。这些问题将在研讨会上得到解决，并发展成一本关于实践问题和解决方案的“书”，分发给每个参与者。应用将展示静力学、动力学、材料强度、热力学、电子学和物理学课程。研讨会还将向与会者介绍互联网及其用途，以及美国国家科学基金会工程联盟、卓越教育和领导学校工程联盟（ECSEL）的工作。后续活动包括PGCC开发的一个计算机公告板，允许讲习班教师和其本国机构的其他教师相互交流和协助，讲习班参与者在其本国机构的演讲，以及专业会议的演讲和论文。

Prince George's Community College, Largo, MD (PGCC) will hold a five-day workshop in summer 1995, Integrating Computer Software into Lower Division Engineering and Engineering Technology Courses. The workshop will be for 20 faculty from engineering, engineering technology, and science, who teach lower division courses in community colleges and senior institutions in the middle Atlantic states. The workshop will include lecture/demonstration, visualization activities, and computer work with Math CAD, MicroCAP, LogicWorks, and PADS. Each participant will bring three problems from three different courses to the workshop. These will be solved during the workshop and developed into a "book" of practice problems and solutions which will be given each participant. Applications will be shown to Statics, Dynamics, Strength of Materials, Thermodynamics, Electronics, and Physics Courses. Workshop participants will also be introduced to Internet and its uses and to the work of the NSF Engineering Coalition, Engineering Coalition of Schools for Excellence in Education and Leadership (ECSEL). Follow-up activities include the development by PGCC of a computer bulletin board to allow workshop faculty and other faculty in their home institutions to communicate and assist one another, presentations by workshop participants in their home institutions, and presentations and papers for professional meetings.
