Garden City: Adapting Sooner City at Rowan University

工程-土木（54）罗文大学土木与环境工程系正在将Sooner City应用于其本科课程。俄克拉荷马大学（University of Oklahoma）开发的Sooner City是一个数字城市，学生们可以用它来完成以设计为导向的作业。它提供了一个综合的四年设计项目，统一了课程，允许在早期课程中学到的材料继续发展和建立。这与课程通常作为独立实体存在的“传统”范式形成对比。目前努力的目标是适应罗文大学的更快城市，并制定有效的适应方法，以帮助其他希望这样做的机构。目标是：1)在罗文大学实施更快的城市，以“花园城市”的名义；2)开发一个基于计算机的适应向导，供其他机构使用；3)添加OU尚未开发的设计元素；4)评估结果，以改进更快城市和花园城市，并确保更快城市的未来适应尽可能高效；5)传播结果，鼓励更广泛地适应更快的城市。

Engineering - Civil (54) The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Rowan University is adapting Sooner City for use in its undergraduate program. Sooner City, developed at the University of Oklahoma, is a digital city that students use to complete design-oriented assignments. It provides an integrated four-year design project that unifies the curriculum, allowing material learned in earlier courses to carry forward and to be built upon. This is in contrast to the "traditional" paradigm in which courses often stand as independent entities. The goal of the current effort is to adapt Sooner City at Rowan University and to develop effective adaptation methods that will assist other institutions wishing to do the same. The objectives are to: 1) Implement Sooner City at Rowan University, under the name "Garden City"; 2) Develop a computer-based adaptation wizard for use by other institutions; 3) Add design elements not already developed by OU; 4) Evaluate results both to improve Sooner and Garden Cities and to ensure that future adaptation of Sooner City will be as efficient and effective as possible; and 5) Disseminate the results to encourage wide adaptation of Sooner City.
