This project further develops, evaluates, and disseminates a pilot project for a Java-based, interactive, self-paced learning module entitled "Product Design for Injection Molding." This module was identified from a group of seven pilot modules for freshman engineering design as the project with the greatest likelihood of success as an on-line, multimedia learning tool and the most potential impact beyond the Columbia courses in which it will be used. The module strategically uses multimedia technology to enable users with little or no engineering background to learn and begin to apply basic mechanical design principles to reverse engineering problems and their own designs, both for injection molded parts and parts using related design principles. Educational institutions and companies can use the module to train students and new employees. The module also provides useful computational design tools that can be used on a day to day basis by practicing engineers. This is a collaborative effort among Columbia University, industrial partners (Texas Instruments, Inc. and Symbol Technologies, Inc.), and several NYC high schools. The criticism, use and evaluation of the module by this diverse group helps to direct and focus the development of the module. The different computer platforms and skill levels of the team members will also ensure that the module is universally portable and useable. Formative and summative evaluations of the module will be conducted by experts from Columbia's Teachers College with an emphasis on the effectiveness of the module in attracting, motivating, and retaining students of all backgrounds in engineering. A substantial fraction of the high school students have backgrounds that have been traditionally disenfranchised from professional engineering. Dissemination to industry, academia, and high schools will leverage the resources of the Society of Plastics Engineers and a coalition of 80 NYC K-l 2 schools fostering technology enabled education.

这个项目进一步开发、评估和推广一个基于Java的、互动的、自定进度的学习模块的试点项目，该模块名为“注塑成型产品设计”。“这个模块是从新生工程设计的七个试点模块中确定的，作为一个在线多媒体学习工具，最有可能成功的项目，以及它将被使用的哥伦比亚课程之外的最潜在影响。 该模块战略性地使用多媒体技术，使很少或没有工程背景的用户能够学习并开始将基本的机械设计原理应用于逆向工程问题和他们自己的设计，无论是注塑部件还是使用相关设计原理的部件。教育机构和公司可以使用该模块来培训学生和新员工。该模块还提供了有用的计算设计工具，可供实践工程师日常使用。 这是哥伦比亚大学、工业合作伙伴（德州仪器公司）和Symbol Technologies，Inc.），还有几所NYC高中。这个多元化群体对该模块的批评、使用和评价有助于指导和集中模块的开发。团队成员的不同计算机平台和技能水平也将确保该模块是普遍便携和可用的。 来自哥伦比亚师范学院的专家将对该模块进行形成性和总结性评估，重点是该模块在吸引、激励和留住各种工程背景的学生方面的有效性。很大一部分高中生的背景传统上被剥夺了专业工程的权利。 向工业界、学术界和高中的传播将利用塑料工程师协会和80所纽约市K-l 2学校联盟的资源，促进技术教育。
