Engineering - Mechanical (56)The ability of an engineer to visualize and reason about geometric aspects of physical objects and processes is crucial to the success of the activities of the engineer. The visual reasoning capability forms the essential foundation for engineering education in all disciplines. The objective of this project is to develop an intelligent instructional software system for visual reasoning which can adaptively support different student learning needs, track students' progress and give an active critique. The intent is to provide a learning system with which a student can develop visualizing and spatial reasoning capabilities in a self-paced series of exercises related to solid modeling. A comprehensive set of visual and spatial reasoning problems is being developed where a combination of visual analysis and visual synthesis is required. The intelligent tutoring module provides a step-by-step critique in solving individual problems as well as properly routing the student through a series of problems with varying difficulties and different types. The software system significantly expands both the scope and depth of the visual reasoning instructional software system which has already been developed and tested by the principal investigator of this project. The educational materials developed will be tested at two University of Wisconsin campuses: Milwaukee and Madison, as well as at St. Martin's College and Northern Illinois University. The software system and pedagogical materials will be disseminated nationally using the University of Wisconsin's Learning Center for distribution.

工程-机械（56）工程师对物理对象和过程的几何方面进行可视化和推理的能力对工程师活动的成功至关重要。视觉推理能力是各学科工程教育的重要基础。该项目的目标是开发一种智能教学软件系统，用于视觉推理，该系统可以自适应地支持不同学生的学习需求，跟踪学生的进度并给出积极的批评。目的是提供一个学习系统，学生可以发展可视化和空间推理能力，在一个自定节奏的一系列练习与实体建模。在需要结合视觉分析和视觉综合的地方，正在开发一套全面的视觉和空间推理问题。智能辅导模块提供一步一步的批评，以解决个人问题，并适当地引导学生通过一系列不同难度和不同类型的问题。该软件系统大大扩展了视觉推理教学软件系统的范围和深度，该软件系统已经由该项目的主要研究者开发和测试。开发的教育材料将在威斯康星大学密尔沃基分校和麦迪逊分校，以及圣马丁学院和北伊利诺伊大学进行测试。软件系统和教学材料将通过威斯康星大学学习中心在全国范围内进行分发。
