Discipline and Curriculum Integration Using the ALIVE System

跨学科（99）本项目正在开发一套教学工具，将工程和技术商业课程结合起来，用于工业工程课程。虚拟企业中的主动学习（ALIVE）系统让学生在“虚拟企业”中进行一系列类似实习的短期项目，这是一个全面的供应链，综合使用信息技术，并生产实际产品-桌面时钟。实验室，无论是物理的还是虚拟的，都被组织成业务部门。ALIVE系统开发了系统工程、信息技术和商业方面的必要技能，并解决了视觉、主动、协作、经验、演绎和全局学习风格的问题。ALIVE系统模块还具有高度可移植性和可配置性，适用于各种学校环境、规模和学科。评价计划包括对该系统进行广泛的主持和远程测试，并通过两次专题讨论会和有关会议进行传播。

Interdisciplinary (99) This project is developing a set of teaching tools that integrate engineering and technical business courses for use in an industrial engineering curriculum. The Active Learning in a Virtual Enterprise (ALIVE) System gives students a series of short intern-like projects in the "Virtual Enterprise," a full-scale supply chain, integrated using information technology, and producing an actual product - desk clocks. Laboratories, either physical or virtual, are organized as business departments. The ALIVE System develops requisite skills in systems engineering, information technology, and business, and addresses visual, active, collaborative, experiential, deductive and global learning styles. ALIVE System modules are also highly portable and configurable to a variety of school environments, sizes, and disciplines. Evaluation plans include extensive host and remote testing of the system and dissemination through two focused symposiums and relevant conferences.
