项目摘要

PROPOSAL NO.: 0230476PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR: Joseph, BabuINSTITUTION NAME: University of South FloridaTITLE: Enhancing Engineering Education Using Information Technology Tools: An Integrated Approach to building a design oriented chemical engineering curriculumThe plan for this engineering curricula revision is to use IT to enhance the waywe package and deliver engineering concepts in a practical and relevant way. This proposal addresses some of the major challenges faced by the academic engineering community in adapting to the shifting paradigms in presentation and assimilation of concepts and themes that are relevant to engineering practice today. The technology, hardware and software that help us make the necessary transition are now available. However, the major challenge lies in the development of the appropriate pedagogical structure and paradigms that motivate the student to think, to explore and to learn through interactive experiences. This is the central motivation behind the proposed work.Specifically, we want to utilize IT to alter the organization, integration and delivery of corecourses in chemical engineering such as thermodynamics, mass and energy balances, fluid dynamics, heat transfer and process control. We want to improve retention while increasing the understanding and the capability of engineering students to tackle complex problems. Simultaneously, we propose curriculum revisions that will introduce engineering software early and often in the curriculum so that the students are at once comfortable with and able to utilize this evolving technology to the maximum extent in their education. The specific objectives are to:While the focus is on development of chemical engineering curriculum, at the University of South Florida of the concepts can also be extended to other engineering disciplines with similar benefits.

建议编号：0230476PRINCIPAL调查员：约瑟夫，巴布因名称：南弗罗里达大学名称：使用信息技术工具加强工程教育：建立面向设计的化学工程课程的综合方法这次工程课程修订的计划是使用IT来增强我们以实用和相关的方式包装和交付工程概念的方式。这项建议解决了学术工程界在适应与当今工程实践相关的概念和主题的表述和同化方面不断变化的范式方面所面临的一些重大挑战。帮助我们进行必要过渡的技术、硬件和软件现在已经可用。然而，主要的挑战在于开发适当的教学结构和范例，以激励学生思考、探索和通过互动体验学习。具体地说，我们希望利用IT来改变化学工程中核心资源的组织、集成和交付，如热力学、质量和能量平衡、流体动力学、热传递和过程控制。我们希望在提高工科学生解决复杂问题的理解力和能力的同时，提高他们的记忆力。与此同时，我们建议修订课程，尽早并经常在课程中引入工程软件，以便学生立即适应并能够在他们的教育中最大程度地利用这一不断发展的技术。具体目标是：虽然重点是开发化学工程课程，但在南佛罗里达大学的概念也可以扩展到其他具有类似好处的工程学科。
