Development of tutorial for an Introductory Course in Functional Materials

工程-材料科学(57)基于先前CCLI资助中开发的知识和技能，我们打算开发基于CD-ROM的功能材料教程。这些基于CD-ROM的教程是使用黑板类比设计的，以支持目前材料科学入门课程中缺失的重要功能材料课程。这些教程将包含在CD-ROM中，将在国际上分发。它们以及包含的交互式词汇表和动画/视频播放器将可供希望使用它们来支持传统课程的教师使用。这些教程以及正在编写的教科书可以用于许多其他学习情况，包括远程学习、继续教育和没有工程课程的机构的课程。课程内容包括材料的介电、压电、铁电、磁致伸缩和光学性质。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二年级工程学课程创建一套新的交互式、自定进度的多媒体教程。这一主题将采用个案研究方法进行组织。我们的新教程旨在加强学生在讲课前的学习。这些教程中的材料将用来向学生介绍特定的材料概念，他们将在讲座前测试这些材料的概念。我们计划将这些材料与一本教科书结合使用。我们的长期目标是创建一组在线教学材料，作为一学期新生水平课程的核心。

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.
