Anthropomorphic Multimedia Theater for Interactive Statics Problems Solving

工程-其他（59）这个项目是解决基础工程课程的吸引力和效率的挑战。其目标是激发本科生对工程预科、工程和工程技术的兴趣和热情，培养更具创造性的思维和学习方式。开发和测试一个静力学单元后，将在光盘和因特网上提供补充静力学入门课程的教育材料。这项工作的独特之处在于，拟人化的机器部件和工程公式将相互作用，与学生，并与世界上最伟大的科学家的视听表现。模块强调系统和过程识别，模式分析和综合，同时条件，工程建模和近似的方法，以及这些方法在最大限度地提高思维和学习效率的“团队合作”。该项目是北方伊利诺伊大学和两所社区学院埃尔金社区学院和岩谷学院的合作项目。

Engineering - Other (59)This project is addressing the challenge of curriculum attractiveness and efficiency in fundamental engineering. Its goal is to stimulate interest and enthusiasm among undergraduate students in pre-engineering, engineering, and engineering technology, and to foster more creative thinking and learning styles. Development and testing of one module for statics will result in educational material available on CD-ROM and the Internet which supplements introductory statics courses. The unique feature of this effort is that anthropomorphic machine parts and engineering formulas will interact with each other, with the students, and with audiovisual representations of the world's greatest scientists. Modules are emphasizing methods of system and process identification, pattern analysis and synthesis, simultaneous conditions, engineering modeling and approximation, and the 'teamwork' of these methods in maximizing thinking and learning efficiency. The project is a collaboration between Northern Illinois University and two community colleges, Elgin Community College and Rock Valley College.
