Engineering - Civil (54)Our team at the Pratt School of Engineering at Duke University has previously developed and documented a prototype web-based instructional system for solid mechanics. Our basic goal has been to promote an inquiry-based style of modern engineering analysis, experimentation, and design into undergraduate solid and fluid mechanics courses. A central effort of our team's work has been the design and evaluation of a modular and portable framework so that faculty can create a diverse set of experiments based on our web- based model. To help guide faculty toward adoption of our model a workbook and accompanying CD-ROM is being published.Through our project Web-based Educational Framework for Analysis, Visualization, and Experimentation (WEAVE) faculty will have the option of complimenting traditional labs with module-based projects designed to encourage students to compare, contrast, and improve models of actual physical experiments. An interactive web-based tutorial for each module will be developed in conjunction with Shodor, a non-profit educational research foundation based in Durham, N.C. The deployment of WEAVE across the engineering curriculum enables students to follow interactive tutorials, execute numerical simulations, and conduct physical experiments. In these self-paced labs, students explore concepts of fluid and solid mechanics through trial and error iterations by directly controlling and modifying the physical experiments and their associated numerical simulation. The dissemination of our materials and findings has been promoted on our campus, and at the state and national levels through oral presentations, publications in educational journals, and via the Internet. We also plan to present at the Frontiers in Education in 2003.

工程-土木工程(54)我们在杜克大学普拉特工程学院的团队以前开发并记录了基于网络的固体力学教学系统的原型。我们的基本目标是在本科生的固体和流体力学课程中推广基于探究的现代工程分析、实验和设计课程。我们团队工作的中心工作之一是设计和评估模块化和可移植的框架，以便教师可以基于我们的网络模型创建一套多样化的实验。为了帮助指导教师采用我们的模型，一本工作簿和随附的CD-ROM正在出版。通过我们的项目，基于Web的分析、可视化和实验教育框架(Weave)教师将可以选择用基于模块的项目来补充传统实验室，以鼓励学生比较、对比和改进实际物理实验的模型。将与位于北卡罗来纳州达勒姆的非营利性教育研究基金会Shodor合作，为每个模块开发基于网络的互动教程。在整个工程课程中部署Weave，使学生能够遵循互动教程、执行数值模拟和进行物理实验。在这些自定进度的实验室中，学生通过反复尝试，通过直接控制和修改物理实验及其相关的数值模拟，来探索流体和固体力学的概念。通过口头报告、在教育期刊上发表文章和通过互联网，我们在校园、州和国家层面推广了我们的材料和调查结果的传播。我们还计划在2003年的《教育前沿》上发表演讲。
