Municipal Solid Waste Management Learning Tool

工程-其他（59）固体废物管理的概述是大多数本科土木和环境工程课程的重要组成部分。固体废物领域包括广泛的原则，从机械工程，经济学，优化，化学，数学，水力学，水文学，岩土工程等传统上它是使用讲座，家庭作业练习，工程设计经验相结合的教导，和非常偶尔的实地考察。然而，所涉及的概念最好通过流程的实际经验来掌握。该项目通过开发补充电子/数字教材，加强对工程原理和基础知识的学习。具体来说，我们正制作一张光碟，内载视听片段、幻灯片及其他视觉辅助工具，以展示都市固体废物的管理策略，并为学生提供切合不同学习风格的实际学习经验。此外，工学院、教育学院、K-12风险学校也共同合作，让学生们学习MSW管理知识。此外，还将通过与布鲁克斯/科尔公司的发行计划，向采用新教材《固体废弃物工程学》的工学专业提供光盘。

Engineering - Other (59) An overview of solid waste management is an important component of most undergraduate civil and environmental engineering curriculum. The solid waste field encompasses a wide range of principles derived from mechanical engineering, economics, optimization, chemistry, mathematics, hydraulics, hydrology, geotechnical engineering, etc. Traditionally it is taught using a combination of lectures, homework exercises, engineering design experiences, and the very occasional field trip. However, the concepts involved are best grasped through actual experience with the processes. This project is enhancing learning of engineering principles and fundamentals through the development of supplementary electronic/digital teaching materials. Specifically, we are developing a compact disc containing video and audio clips, slides and other visual aids demonstrating management strategies for municipal solid waste, and providing students with hands-on learning experiences responsive to diverse learning styles. In addition, we have formed a collaboration among the College of Engineering and Computer Science, College of Education, and K-12 at-risk schools to engage students in learning about MSW management.The compact disk will also be made available to engineering programs adopting a new text, Solid Waste Engineering, through a distribution plan to be arranged with Brooks/Cole, Inc.
