Regional Faculty Workshops

98-12888彼得森工程与技术认证委员会-地区性教师研讨会工程与技术认证委员会(ABET)将举办一系列地区性、亲身实践的工程教师研讨会，通过让教师有信心尝试大规模课程创新，从而促进教育创新和采用新的教育范式，同时认识到设计良好的计划实验不会失去AET认证的风险。《行动议程》描述了需要一种新的工程教育模式，使学生除了掌握沟通技能、团队合作能力等技术技能外，还将获得各种特点，并了解工程解决方案在广泛的社会、环境、经济和伦理背景下的影响。问题是如何激励和实施课程和教学交付及成果方面的创新。过去，由于认为该项目的认证地位存在风险，一直不愿实施大规模改革。ABET在实施工程标准2000的试点研究中发现，工程项目在确信其项目能够成功满足EC2000的要求之前，不会朝着《行动议程》中描述的新的教育范式迈出实质性的步伐。研讨会的预期结果是，教师将获得信心和技能来制定目标、评估计划和反馈机制，以满足EC2000的要求。从这一点，他们将能够实施课程和教学改革，以及评估这些改革的成功。教资会将开发案例研究，以协助这些机构，并为教资会项目评估者提供培训材料。通过这些讲习班，将建立一个教员网络，协助交流评估和创新方面的最佳做法的信息。学院还将有机会加强与工业界的联系，并确定收集有关工程专业毕业生雇主不断变化的需求的信息的方法。

98-12888 Peterson Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology - Regional Faculty Workshops The Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, Inc. (ABET) will conduct a series of regional, hands-on, engineering faculty workshops to facilitate educational innovation and adoption of new educational paradigms by giving faculty the confidence to try large-scale curricular innovations with the knowledge that well-designed program experimentation will not risk loss of ABET accreditation. The Action Agenda describes the need for a new engineering education paradigm whereby students will acquire characteristics, in addition to technical skills, such as communication skills, ability to work on teams, and an understanding of the impact of engineering solutions in a broad societal, environmental, economic, and ethical context. The problem is how to stimulate and implement innovation in curriculum and instructional delivery and outcomes. In the past, there has been reluctance to implement large-scale reforms due to the perceived risk to the accreditation status of the program. ABET found during the pilot-study for the implementation of Engineering Criteria 2000 that engineering programs will not take substantial steps towards a new educational paradigm as described in the Action Agenda until they are confident that their programs can successfully meet the requirements of EC2000. The expected results of the workshops are that faculty will acquire the confidence and skill to develop objectives, an assessment plan, and a feedback mechanism to meet the requirements of EC2000. From this, they will be able to implement curricular and instructional reform as well as assess the success of those reforms. ABET will develop case studies to assist the institutions and provide training materials for ABET program evaluators. From these workshops, an network of faculty will be developed, assisting in the exchange of information on best practices in assessment and innovation. The faculty will also have an opportunity to strengthen ties with industry and determine ways to gather information on the changing needs of the employers of engineering graduates.
