Engineering - Other (59)This project, being conducted by a team of researchers from the University of Pittsburgh and the Colorado School of Mines, investigates the feasibility of a web-based system for assessing an engineering student's ability to recognize and resolve ethical dilemmas similar to those encountered in practice. The investigators are testing a "pencil-and-paper" version with carefully constructed scenarios and well developed scoring rubrics on 100 students. Finally, they are evaluating the use of a neural network to predict student classification. In order to evaluate their tool, they will compare their results to those derived from follow-up interviews and a "triangulation" process that combines many measures to estimate the true outcome. They plan to describe their results at major engineering education meetings and, if warranted, they will publish in archived journals.

工程-其他（59）这个项目由匹兹堡大学和科罗拉多矿业学院的一组研究人员进行，调查基于网络的系统的可行性，以评估工程专业学生识别和解决与实践中遇到的类似道德困境的能力。研究人员正在对100名学生进行一个“纸上的”版本的测试，该版本包含精心构建的场景和精心设计的评分规则。最后，他们正在评估使用神经网络来预测学生分类。为了评估他们的工具，他们将比较他们的结果与那些来自后续访谈和“三角”过程，结合许多措施来估计真正的结果。他们计划在主要的工程教育会议上描述他们的结果，如果有必要，他们将在存档期刊上发表。
