Transferable Integrated Design Engineering Education

这个项目的目标是灵活的，一致的介绍工程设计教育的学生谁遵循单一机构或转移路径到他们的学士学位工程学位的多样化池。该项目将大学与社区学院联系起来，根据认证的需要，提供“贯穿整个课程”的设计教育。项目目标是： * 在不同的机构、课程和学生的环境中建立一个定义明确、可转移的入门设计教育的课程结构; * 制作可移植的课程材料和教学方法，支持有效的“综合”工程设计教育的转移环境; * 使各种机构的教师能够采用，实施和评估适合其课程和学生的示范材料和方法; * 在早期工程设计课程中增加学生，特别是妇女，少数民族和残疾人的入学率和保留率。 课程材料的开发，以满足学习目标的介绍性设计，以适应各种机构，并为学生提供不同的背景和兴趣。教师研讨会将这些学习目标和策略转移到各种环境中实现，并为教师准备在具有不同学生群体的班级中使用的材料和方法。示例性的课程材料被打包以供分发。

The goal of this project is flexible, consistent introductory engineering design education for a diverse pool of students who follow single-institution or transfer paths to their baccalaureate engineering degrees. The project links universities to community colleges to produce design education that is "integrated throughout the curriculum" as needed for accreditation. Project objectives are: * Establish a curricular structure for well-defined, transferable introductory design education in an environment of diverse institutions, curricula, and students; * Produce transportable curricular materials and instructional methods that support effective "integrated" engineering design education in transfer environments; * Enable faculty at a variety of institutions to adopt, implement, and evaluate exemplary materials and methods suitable for their programs and their students; and * Achieve increased enrollment and retention of students, especially women, minorities, and disabled, in early engineering design courses. Curriculum materials are developed to meet learning objectives for introductory design, to fit a variety of institutions, and to serve students with diverse backgrounds and interests. Faculty workshops transfer these learning objectives and strategies for achieving them in a variety of settings, and they prepare faculty to adopt materials and methods to use in classes with diverse student populations. Exemplary curricular materials are packaged for distribution.
