Engineering - Other (59)Cooper Union is creating a new learning environment in the interdisciplinary curricula of fluid mechanics and engineering mechanics. The new environment, based on the classroom-studio concept originally developed at Renssalaer Polytechnic Institute, seeks to better integrate the process of design education into engineering education. Further, in its most innovative aspect, the project involves using the studio-classroom, combined with a prototyping studio, to improve design education.To that end, the Cooper Union is equipping two closely related Learning Laboratories, one for fluid mechanics and one for engineering mechanics. The Learning Labs add an interactive mode to the traditional classroom lecture format, adapting standard, proven bench-scale equipment used in typical engineering educationfor fluid and engineering mechanics. The new facilities take full advantage of new educational technologies to create a dynamic, engaging learning and teaching environment especially suited to these basic subjects.A third element, a Prototyping Studio to be supplied by Cooper Union, is adding the vital element of fabricating prototypes, which are to be conceived and iteratively tested, analyzed, and redesigned in the Learning Labs. In this way, analysis is more fully integrated into the design process, advancing design education; and practice is more closely juxtaposed with theory.The Learning Labs are providing pedagogical tools to seamlessly integrate conceptualization, analysis, communication, teamwork, and fabrication. They are also promoting research in engineering education and serve as a model for a new teaching methodology in other disciplines as well.

工程-其他（59）库珀联盟是创造一个新的学习环境，在流体力学和工程力学的跨学科课程。新的环境，基于最初在Renssalaer理工学院开发的教室工作室概念，旨在更好地将设计教育过程融入工程教育。此外，在其最具创新性的方面，该项目涉及使用工作室教室，结合原型工作室，以改善设计教育。为此，库珀联盟正在装备两个密切相关的学习实验室，一个流体力学和一个工程力学。学习实验室为传统的课堂授课形式增加了互动模式，采用了标准的、经过验证的实验室规模的设备，用于流体和工程力学的典型工程教育。新的设施充分利用新的教育技术，创造一个动态的，引人入胜的学习和教学环境，特别适合这些基本科目。第三个元素，原型工作室将由库珀联盟提供，是增加制造原型，这是构思和迭代测试，分析，并在学习实验室重新设计的重要元素。通过这种方式，分析更充分地融入设计过程，推进设计教育;实践与理论更紧密地并列。学习实验室提供教学工具，无缝集成概念化，分析，沟通，团队合作和制造。他们还促进工程教育的研究，并作为其他学科新教学方法的典范。
