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

卓越教育与领导力学校工程联盟（ECSEL）将重点关注以下三个主要项目领域：设计学习：这项任务有三个主要组成部分：(i)面向高年级学生的行业驱动的跨学科设计项目；（ii）与工业联盟和专业协会合作开发的综合评估计划，以确定工程师和工程技术人员的实际知识和技能需求，并产生真实的课程设计标准；（iii）形成一种新型的协作课程开发和传播环境。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社区中的角色：我们将推出一项全面的计划，以打破阻碍工程和技术融入K-14课程的障碍，同时防止有才华的年轻人进入工程和技术劳动力队伍。工程师、教师、专业协会、工会和K-14教育工作者将共同努力，建立新的机制：(i)教师与工程师一起学习设计；（ii）为工程师提供成为教师的途径；（iii）在工程和工程技术方案之间打开大门；（iv） ECSEL的创新在丰富多样的社区学院环境中得以实现。3. 学生和教师发展：ECSEL在为学生和教师建立必要的基础设施和人力支持网络方面的工作，使其成为有效的改革推动者，将通过各种机制得到支持和扩大，包括(i)在所有ECSEL活动中分担责任和领导，并继续加强我们学生的领导作用；（ii）创建新项目，以吸引和留住工程专业中代表性不足的群体；（三）为新老教师提供交流、研讨会和项目，以促进ECSEL的“设计学习”主题。该联盟的七名成员是：纽约城市学院霍华德大学麻省理工学院摩根州立大学宾夕法尼亚州立大学马里兰大学帕克学院华盛顿大学？？

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 ??
