Engineering-Engineering Technology (58) The project is developing laboratory exercises and an accompanying electronic laboratory manual for a course in fire behavior and combustion for both associate and baccalaureate degree programs. The project is providing an opportunity to introduce students to scientific inquiry and is being developed in a constructivist fashion, which provides students to arrive at their own conclusions from conducting the experiments. The curriculum material is being developed from the existing knowledge base at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and other research institutes such as the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI). Formative and summative assessments that include pre-testing and post-testing of student learning are being incorporated throughout the project to provide feedback to improve the process and create more effective curricular material. The institution's Engineering Technology Program is engaging in a multi-year project to increase the participation of underrepresented students in the fire safety and other technology programs. Community and technical colleges are being engaged in this collaborative effort in order to develop a unified educational structure and to beta-test the curriculum. Development of a CD and web access is providing a method through which institutions can access fire safety curriculum. The curriculum is being disseminated through conferences and is being made available through the Fire and Emergency Services Higher Education contortion, which includes about 250 institutions that offer fire related degrees.

工程-工程技术（58）该项目正在为副学士和学士学位课程的火灾行为和燃烧课程开发实验室练习和附带的电子实验室手册。该项目提供了一个向学生介绍科学探究的机会，并以建构主义的方式发展，使学生能够通过进行实验得出自己的结论。课程材料是根据国家标准与技术研究所（NIST）和西南研究所（SwRI）等其他研究机构的现有知识库开发的。 在整个项目中纳入了形成性和总结性评估，包括对学生学习情况的预测试和后测试，以提供反馈，改进这一过程，并编制更有效的课程材料。该机构的工程技术计划正在从事一个多年项目，以增加代表性不足的学生在消防安全和其他技术方案的参与。社区和技术学院正在参与这一合作努力，以发展统一的教育结构，并对课程进行β测试。开发光盘和网络访问提供了一种方法，通过这种方法，机构可以访问消防安全课程。该课程正在通过会议传播，并通过消防和紧急服务高等教育机构提供，其中包括大约250个提供消防相关学位的机构。
