Engineering - Other (59) The purpose of this project is to build upon a successful pilot project (EPTTS or Engineering Project Team Training System, which included the development of a student training module about cognitive style differences; a faculty training workshop which assisted instructors in adapting the module for their own classes; and an extensive assessment base which included qualitative data from focus groups and quantitative survey results from BESTEAM developed evaluation tools) and develop an integrated and longitudinal (involving students across their entire engineering education experience) engineering curriculum model to improve learning in project team environments. A primary goal of this effort is to design supportive faculty tools/aids (called modules) of team training skills that can be flexibly integrated into virtually any existing engineering program. A second major outcome of our efforts will be extensive faculty training via workshops and summer retreats in the adaption of the materials for use in their own classes. In addition, this project seeks to add to the literature base of engineering education by investigating how social cognitive career theory-SCCT- can help explain aspects of individual and team's behavior. Finally, by focusing on team skill building and related 'process skills', we expect that the BESTEAMS curriculum will act as a positive intervention in the retention of minorities and women in engineering.

工程 - 其他 (59) 该项目的目的是建立一个成功的试点项目（EPTTS 或工程项目团队培训系统，其中包括开发关于认知风格差异的学生培训模块；教员培训讲习班，帮助教师根据自己的班级调整该模块；以及广泛的评估基础，其中包括焦点小组的定性数据和 BESTEAM 开发的评估工具的定量调查结果），并开发一个综合的纵向项目 （让学生参与整个工程教育经历）工程课程模型，以改善项目团队环境中的学习。这项工作的主要目标是设计团队培训技能的支持性教师工具/辅助工具（称为模块），这些工具/辅助工具可以灵活地集成到几乎任何现有的工程项目中。我们努力的第二个主要成果将是通过研讨会和暑期静修活动对教师进行广泛的培训，以适应他们自己课堂上使用的材料。此外，该项目旨在通过调查社会认知职业理论（SCCT）如何帮助解释个人和团队行为的各个方面来丰富工程教育的文献基础。最后，通过关注团队技能建设和相关的“过程技能”，我们​​期望 BESTEAMS 课程能够对保留少数族裔和女性在工程领域发挥积极的作用。
