da Vinci Engineering Ambassadors in Classrooms

该项目的目标是：为高中生开发有关工程学概念和应用的模块；在工程学内容和教学方法方面对研究员和教师进行培训；将工程竞赛设计为本科生的最高体验，并让高中教师和学生参与这些项目；使用WebCT软件开发一个虚拟工程社区；并在工程教育中开发一个理科硕士课程。该项目由多学科活动办公室数学和物理科学局共同资助。

The goals of this project are: to develop modules about engineering concepts and applications for high school students; train fellows and teachers in engineering content and instructional methods; design engineering competition as capstone experience for undergraduate fellows and involve high school teachers and students in these projects; develop a virtual engineering community using WebCT software; and develop an M.S. program in engineering education. This project is being co-funded by the Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences, Office of Multidisciplinary Activities.
