In this GOALI project, Carnegie Mellon proposes to develop a web-based Background Curriculum, allowing computer-aided simulation, design, modeling and prototyping skills to be transparently overlaid onto and distributed through the traditional engineering curriculum.This proposal involves a partnership between Carnegie Mellon University, Parametric Technologies Corporation, Drexel University and Pine-Richland High School. An objective of this project is to grow our experience base and create a readily transferable suite of web-based course modules that others can use to teach and motivate their students. Undergraduate students at Carnegie Mellon will collaborate with faculty and develop a series of modules for use in mechanical engineering undergraduate courses. Colleagues with expertise in assessment and cognitive psychology from the CMU Eberly Center for Teaching Excellence will assess the effectiveness of our efforts by using focus groups, survey instruments, and software for tracking web page use patterns. A work product of this project will be a suite of freely available web-based course materials appropriate for use as a template for integrating computer modeling and design skills into any mechanical engineering undergraduate program, and for exposing high school students to the excitement of the mechanical engineering profession.Dissemination of our work product will be a critical aspect of this project. Carnegie Mellon will partner with Drexel University to integrate the web-based course modules developed at Carnegie Mellon into the Drexel curriculum. In turn, Drexel will provide assessment and feedback data for refining and improving the learning modules. High school students and the instructors in the Pine-Richland High School Engineering Systems course will use a subset of the web-based modules and computer-controlled prototyping hardware with the objective of exposing their students to the excitement, hardware, and tools of the mechanical engineering profession.

在这个GOALI项目中，卡内基梅隆大学提议开发基于网络的背景课程，允许计算机辅助仿真、设计、建模和原型制作技能透明地覆盖到传统工程课程中并通过传统工程课程进行分布。该提案涉及卡内基梅隆大学、参数技术公司、德雷克塞尔大学和Pine-Richland高中之间的合作。 这个项目的一个目标是增加我们的经验基础，并创建一个易于转移的基于网络的课程模块套件，其他人可以用来教和激励他们的学生。 卡内基梅隆大学的本科生将与教师合作开发一系列用于机械工程本科课程的模块。 具有CMU Eberly卓越教学中心评估和认知心理学专业知识的同事将通过使用焦点小组，调查工具和跟踪网页使用模式的软件来评估我们努力的有效性。 该项目的工作成果将是一套免费的基于网络的课程材料，适合用作将计算机建模和设计技能集成到任何机械工程本科课程中的模板，以及让高中生接触机械工程专业的兴奋。我们的工作产品的传播将是一个这个项目的重要方面。 卡内基梅隆大学将与德雷克塞尔大学合作，将卡内基梅隆大学开发的网络课程模块整合到德雷克塞尔大学的课程中。 反过来，德雷克塞尔将提供评估和反馈数据，以完善和改进学习模块。 高中生和教师在松树-里奇兰 高中 工程系统课程将使用基于网络的模块和计算机控制的原型硬件的子集，目的是让学生接触机械工程专业的兴奋，硬件和工具。
