Development of tutorial for an Introductory Course in Functional Materials

工程-材料科学（57）基于在之前的CCLI拨款中获得的知识和技能，我们打算开发基于CD-ROM的功能材料教程。这些基于CD-ROM的教程设计，使用黑板的类比，以支持重要的功能材料类，目前在入门材料科学课程中缺失。这些教程将包含在将在国际上分发的只读光盘中。此外，还将提供互动式词汇表和动画/视频播放器，供希望使用它们来支持传统讲座课程的教师使用。这些教程以及与之配套的教科书可以用于许多其他学习场合，包括远程学习、继续教育和没有工程课程的机构的课程。涵盖的主题将包括介电、压电、铁电、磁致伸缩和材料的光学性质。在这个项目中，我们计划为宾夕法尼亚大学正在开发的一门新的大二工程课程创建一套新的交互式、自定进度的多媒体教程。主题将使用案例研究方法进行结构化。我们的新辅导课是为了在上课前加强学生的学习。这些教程中的材料将用于向学生介绍特定的材料概念，他们将在上课前进行测试。我们计划把这些材料和一本教科书结合起来使用。我们的长期目标是创建一个在线教学材料的集合，作为一个学期的大一课程的核心。

Engineering - Materials Science (57)Based on knowledge and skills developed in a previous CCLI grant we intend to develop CD-ROM based tutorials on functional materials. These CD-ROM based tutorials are designed, using a blackboard analogy, to support important classes of functional materials that are currently missing from introductory material science curricula. The tutorials will be contained on CD-ROMs that will receive international distribution. They, along with an included interactive Glossary and an Animation/Video player will be available forinstructors who wish to use them to support traditional lecture courses. The tutorials, along with the textbook being written to accompany them, could be used in a number of other learning situations, including distance learning, continuing education, and courses at institutions that do not have an engineering curriculum. The topics covered will include dielectric, piezoelectric, ferroelectric, magnetostrictive, and optical properties of materials. In this project we plan to create a new set of interactive, self-paced, multimedia tutorials for a new sophomore engineering course being developed at the University of Pennsylvania. The subject matter will be structured using a case study approach. Our new tutorials are designed to enhance student learning before a lecture is given. The material in these tutorials will be used to introduce students to specific materials concepts that they will be tested on before the lecture. We plan to use these materials in conjunction with a textbook. Our long range goal is to create a collection of online instructional materials that serve as the core for a one semester freshman level course.
