PROPOSAL NO.: 0230601PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR: Patangia, HirakINSTITUTION NAME: University of Arkansas Little RockTITLE: Exploring Engineering Through Project-based Experiential LearningNSF RECEIVED DATE: 06/04/2002AbstractThe proposal will establish a bridge connecting engineering education in theDonaghey College of Information Science and Systems Engineering (DCISSE) to theCollege of Education (COE) at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. A series ofthree thematic engineering courses has been proposed to bring engineering education tothe pre-college educators, education majors, and high school students. The courses willbe implemented using Project-Based Experiential Learning (PBEL) philosophy that iscurrently popular in Freshmen Design Experience Programs. The novelty of the proposed approach is that the courses will be designed to be intellectually substantive, taught on a just-in-time basis in context to a real-world problem, and the courses will also satisfy curricular requirements of engineering / engineering technology degree programs to insure that these do not function as service courses. The math prerequisites will be mid-level high school algebra, and the courses will be open to any student who wants to explore engineering. The enthusiasm for such an approach has been prompted by the success of a PBEL course that was initiated last fall in DCISSE, and cognitive scientists assertion that theoretical ideas aremuch easier to learn when the theoretical understanding is closely coupled to real-worldexperience..

提案编号：0230601主要赞助商：Patangia，Hirak机构名称：阿肯色州小石城大学标题：通过基于项目的体验式学习探索工程学NSF接收日期：06/04/2002摘要该提案将建立一座桥梁，将Donaghey信息科学与系统工程学院（DCISSE）的工程教育与位于小石城的阿肯色州大学教育学院（COE）连接起来。提出了一系列的三个主题的工程课程，使工程教育的大学预科教育工作者，教育专业，和高中学生。这些课程将采用基于项目的体验式学习（PBEL）理念，这是目前流行的新生设计体验计划。所提出的方法的新奇在于，课程将被设计为智力实质性的，在现实世界的问题的背景下，在及时的基础上教授，课程也将满足工程/工程技术学位课程的课程要求，以确保这些不作为服务课程。数学先决条件将是中级高中代数，课程将开放给任何学生谁想要探索工程。对这种方法的热情已经被去年秋天在DCISSE启动的PBEL课程的成功所激发，认知科学家断言，当理论理解与实际经验紧密结合时，理论思想更容易学习。
