Engineering Coalition of Schools for Excellence in Educationand Leadership (ECSEL)

摘要 卓越教育和领导力学校工程联盟（ECSEL）将专注于以下三个主要方案领域： 1.学习设计：这项任务有三个主要组成部分：（一）行业驱动的，跨学科的设计项目，为高水平的学生;（ii）与工业联盟和专业协会合作制定的全面评估方案，以确定工程师和工程技术人员的实际知识和技能需求，和产生真实的课程设计标准和（iii）形成新型的协作式课程开发与传播环境。这些组件将与正在进行的努力相结合，以扩展，增强和进一步验证以设计为中心的ECSEL体验。 2.我们在K-14社区中的作用：将启动一项全面的计划，以打破阻止工程和技术注入K-14课程的障碍，同时防止有才华的年轻人注入工程和技术劳动力。 工程师，教师，专业协会，工会和K-14教育工作者将共同努力，创造新的机制，使：（一）教师学习设计工程师一起;（二）工程师提供途径成为教师;（三）工程和工程技术方案之间的大门打开;和（四）ECSEL创新是在丰富多样的社区学院环境中提供。 3.学生和教师发展：ECSEL在建设必要的基础设施和人力支持网络，使学生和教师成为改革的有效代理人的工作将得到支持和扩大的各种机制，包括（一）在所有ECSEL活动的共同责任和领导，继续和加强我们的学生的领导作用;（二）创建新的程序，以吸引和保留在工程教授代表性不足的群体;和（iii）交流，研讨会，并为新老教师计划，以促进ECSEL的设计学习的主题。 该联盟的七个成员是： 纽约城市学院 霍华德大学 马萨诸塞州理工学院 摩根州立大学 宾夕法尼亚州立大学 马里兰州大学帕克分校 华盛顿大学？？

ABSTRACT The Engineering Coalition of Schools for Excellence in Education and Leadership (ECSEL) will focus on the following which are grouped into the three major programmatic areas: 1. Learning by Design: This task has three main components: (i)Industry-driven, interdisciplinary design projects for upper-level students; (ii) a comprehensive assessment program developed in partnership with industrial allies and professional associations to identify actual knowledge and skill needs of engineers and engineer technicians, and yielding authentic curricular design criteria and (iii) the formation of a new type of collaborative curriculum development and dissemination environment. These components wil be combined with ongoing efforts to expand, enhance, and further validate the design-centered ECSEL experience. 2. Our Role in the K-14 Community: A comprehensive program will be launched to break down the barriers that prevent the infusion of engineering and technology into K-14 curricula, while simutaneously preventing the infusion of talented youth into the engineering and technical workforce. Engineers, teachers, professional societies, unions, and K-14 educators will work together to create new mechanisms whereby: (i) teachers learn to design alongside engineers; (ii) engineers are provided pathways to become teachers; (iii) doors are opened between engineering and engineering technology programs; and (iv) ECSEL innovations are made available within the richly diverse community college environment. 3. Student and Faculty Development: ECSEL's work in building the infrastructure and human support networks necessary for students and faculty to become effective agents of reform will be bolstered and broadened by a variety of mechanisms, including (i) shared responsibility and leadership in all ECSEL activities, with continued and enhanced leadership roles for our students; (ii) creation of new programs to attract and retain underrepresented groups in the engineering professoriate; and (iii ) exchanges, workshops, and programs for new and veteran faculty to promote ECSEL's theme of learning by design. The seven members of this Coalition are: City College of New York Howard University Massachusetts Institute of Technology Morgan State University Pennsylvania State University University of Maryland, College Park University of Washington ??
