Engineering - Mechanical (56)The project adapts work on thermal systems laboratories at University of Virginia, US Naval Academy, and Union College to establish an undergraduate laboratory in thermal engineering technology for three undergraduate thermal science courses. The project provides students with hands-on experiences of abstract concepts discussed in lecture and allows exceptional undergraduate students the opportunity to learn about the subject material in more depth by co-designing and constructing an experimental apparatus. Furthermore, it supports collaboration between faculty to enhance the learning experience of undergraduate students and provides potential future teachers experience in the design of educational materials. Finally, it develops a model that can be used in the development of other laboratory experiments in the institution's mechanical engineering curriculum. Experimental stations are being constructed and tested by undergraduate students who have recently completed the courses into which the experiments are being implemented. The project addresses the DUE themes of teacher preparation, faculty development, and integration of technology in education. The evaluation program, under the direction of a collaborator from the Center for Mathematics and Science Education Research, includes student interviews and surveys, classroom observation, and follow-up studies with faculty members teaching in subsequent courses. The investigators plan to disseminate the organization and evaluation of the project, along with two lab manuals, through conference presentations, journal articles, and web site postings.

工程-机械(56)该项目调整了弗吉尼亚大学、美国海军学院和联合学院的热系统实验室的工作，为三门本科热科学课程建立了一个热工技术本科实验室。该项目为学生提供课堂上讨论的抽象概念的实践经验，并让优秀的本科生有机会通过共同设计和建造实验设备来更深入地了解主题材料。此外，它还支持教师之间的合作，以提高本科生的学习体验，并为未来教师在教材设计方面提供潜在的经验。最后，它开发了一个模型，可用于该机构机械工程课程中其他实验室实验的开发。实验站正在建设和测试，由最近完成实验课程的本科生进行测试。该项目涉及教师培训、教师发展和将技术整合到教育中的适当主题。该评估项目由数学与科学教育研究中心的一名合作者指导，包括学生访谈和调查、课堂观察，以及对在后续课程中授课的教职员工的后续研究。研究人员计划通过会议报告、期刊文章和网站帖子来传播该项目的组织和评估，以及两份实验室手册。
