ABSTRACT Corradini 9633800 The future success of U.S. higher education requires better integration of both teaching scholarship and research scholarship. Likewise, the future success of the U.S. economy requires that some of our best and brightest young people choose to enter the engineering profession. In addition, both pedagogical techniques and content knowledge are necessary to prepare effective teachers for engineering classrooms. To these ends, the University of Wisconsin-Madison proposes to implement a cultural change approach to engineering education that will create an improved, student-centered, problem-based, teach approach to teaching and learning instead of a faculty-centered, traditional approach and that will focus on both research and teaching instead of primarily research. These goals will be achieved by developing an integrated Engineering Scholars Program (ESP) which will consist primarily of a one-week summer workshop for graduate engineering students and new engineering faculty. Given the need for curricular and pedagogical reform in engineering and given the high attrition rates of students in engineering, we will focus our attention nationally on engineering graduate students and new faculty, especially women and minorities, interested in pursuing an academic career. We will collaborate with the engineering coalition schools to recruit and identify thirty participants each year for three years. Fully aware that our cultural change approach entails a complex and iterative process, our activities will be guided by collaborative, continuous improvement teams of local, on-campus and outside experts who will be responsible for 1) program content that integrates research and teaching, 2) program evaluation and assessment to insure the highest possible program quality and 3) program transition from a dependency on outside experts to a reliance on local experts. Together with our partners in industry, we propose an innovative, three-year program that will evolve i nto a UW-Madison sponsored program in collaboration with engineering education coalition schools. Our program will have these major components: 1) workshops for content knowledge about teaching and learning plus hands-on application and a reflective approach, 2) collaborative, cross-disciplinary teams of participants as well as local and outside experts, 3) networking strategies to build collaborative faculty teams at home institutions, 4) a transition plan to move from outside experts to local experts teams, and 5) evaluation, adaption, and dissemination. ***

科拉迪尼9633800美国高等教育未来的成功需要教学学术和研究学术的更好结合。同样，美国经济未来的成功需要我们的一些最优秀、最聪明的年轻人选择进入工程专业。此外，教学技术和教学知识都是为工程课堂培养有效教师所必需的。为此，威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校建议在工程教育中实施文化变革方法，以创造一种改进的、以学生为中心、以问题为基础的教学方法，而不是以教师为中心的传统方法，并将重点放在研究和教学上，而不是主要研究。这些目标将通过制定综合工程学者计划(ESP)来实现，该计划将主要包括为工程学研究生和新的工程学教师举办为期一周的暑期研讨会。鉴于工科课程和教学改革的需要，以及工科学生的高流失率，我们将在全国范围内关注工科研究生和新教师，特别是对学术生涯感兴趣的女性和少数族裔。我们将与工程联盟学校合作，在三年内每年招募和确定30名参与者。我们充分意识到我们的文化变革方法需要一个复杂而迭代的过程，我们的活动将由本地、校园内和外部专家组成的协作、持续改进团队指导，他们将负责1)整合研究和教学的计划内容，2)计划评估和评估，以确保尽可能高的计划质量，3)计划从依赖外部专家过渡到依赖当地专家。与我们的工业伙伴一起，我们提出了一个创新的、为期三年的计划，该计划将演变为威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校与工程教育联盟学校合作赞助的计划。我们的计划将包括以下主要组成部分：1)教学内容知识研讨会以及实践应用和反思性方法；2)参与者以及本地和外部专家的协作、跨学科团队；3)在国内机构建立协作教员团队的网络战略；4)从外部专家过渡到本地专家团队的过渡计划；以及5)评估、适应和传播。***
