9802123 Ernst The conference will explore what an individual institution does to change from its present approach to engineering education to the new engineering education. One that seeks to develop students as emerging professionals with the motivation, capability, and knowledge base for life-long learning; one that helps students see the whole world and sense the coupling among seemingly disparate fields; one that incorporates a diversity of backgrounds and approaches; and one that enhances student capability to build connections between the world of learning and the world beyond. The conference will, of necessity, include a brief discussion of how one describes, in broad terms, the New Engineering Education. Most of the conference sessions will examine what changes the engineering school makes to realize the new paradigm for engineering education: * How does a college determine its own version of the new paradigm? * What are some enabling steps for a college in the process of change? * Who are the key players and what might the critical mass of such a group be? * ABE Engineering Criteria 2000: Do the new criteria help or hinder change? * How can the college use assessment processes to guide the change process as well as to determine how well the steps taken have achieved the results expected? * What lessons can we learn from institutions who have made these kinds of changes, the paradigm shifters? An important part of the conference will be presentations by those involved as paradigm shifters in engineering education to share what they did/how they did it as well as what they should have done and how they should have done it.

9802123会议将探讨个别院校如何改变现有的工程教育模式，以推行新的工程教育。旨在将学生培养成具有终身学习动机、能力和知识基础的新兴专业人员；帮助学生了解整个世界，并感觉到看似不同的领域之间的耦合；结合不同的背景和方法；以及提高学生在学习世界和世界之外建立联系的能力。会议必然包括一个简短的讨论，讨论如何用广义的术语描述新工程教育。大多数会议将探讨工程学院为实现新的工程教育范式所做的改变：*一所大学如何确定它自己版本的新的工程教育范式？*在变革的过程中，对一所大学有哪些有利的步骤？*谁是关键参与者，这样的群体的临界人数可能是多少？*ABE工程标准2000：新的标准是帮助还是阻碍变革？*学院如何利用评估过程来指导变革过程，以及确定所采取的步骤取得了多大的成果？期望？*我们可以从做出这种改变的机构中学到什么教训，范式改变者？会议的一个重要部分将是那些参与工程教育范式转换的人的演讲，分享他们做了什么/如何做，以及他们应该做什么和应该如何做。
