Developing an Integrated, Flexible, Adaptable and Viable Curriculum in Electrical and Computer Engineering

规划助学金旨在开发一个综合的、可行的、灵活的和适应性强的课程，为学生适应21世纪及以后的工程需求做好准备。这是通过使用学习理论的最佳实践；让所有电气工程专业的学生接触新兴技术领域；将技术问题扩展到工程实践和城市地区的技术问题；以及在整个课程中整合行业标准计算工具来实现的。采取全面的方法来制定所需的课程。该大学的总体目标是通过工程学、教育学和数学教师之间的合作，改善本科工程专业的教学和评估，从而提高学生的学习质量，提高学生的学习质量。该项目由五个主要部分组成：1)课程；2)教学；3)评估；4)技术的使用；5)教师的发展和培训。教学和绩效评估框架是课程改革的组成部分，然而，在这方面使用的课程是具体内容。为期一年的工作可分为三个阶段：第一阶段-课程指定；第二阶段-教学指定；及第三阶段-表现评估策划。在年底，以下产品将产生：1)课程；2)一些第一年的绩效任务/项目；3)示范逐步向系统层面思考的样本项目；4)教师培训材料；不同课程的学习维度(DOL)映射；5)课程规划程序；6)绩效总结。在学习如何整合和开发示范课程以及将学习的教学层面(DOL)框架纳入这类课程方面将取得进展。该项目通过学习教育学的强大维度促进发现和理解，同时促进教学和学习，学习教育学的强大维度获取和整合知识，扩展和提炼知识，有意义地使用知识，使学生能够批判性思维、创造性思维和规范行为。创造性思维产生了看待超出标准惯例界限的情况的新方式，这对推进发现是正确的。数学、科学和工程学科之间的合作将向非工程学教师开放，比如教育教师，在他们的课程中潜在地使用技术进行教学。

The planning grant is to develop an integrated, viable, flexible, and adaptable curriculum that prepares students for the engineering needs of the 21st century and beyond. This is accomplished by using best practices in learning theory; exposing all electrical engineering majors to emerging technical areas; expanding the technical problems to those in engineering practice and urban areas; and integrating industry-standard computational tools throughout the curriculum. A holistic approach is taken to establish the desired curriculum. The University's overarching goal is to improve the pedagogy and evaluation in undergraduate engineering programs, through collaborations among engineering, education and mathematics faculty, and resulting in an improvement in the quality of student learning improving the quality student learning of learning. The project consists of five major components: 1) curriculum; 2) pedagogy; 3) assessment; 4) use of technology; and 5) faculty development and training The pedagogical and performance assessment frameworks are an integral part of the curriculum reform, however, curriculum as used in this context is content specific. The one-year effort can be divided into three phases: Phase I-Curriculum Specification; Phase II-Pedagogy Specification; and Phase III-Performance Assessment Planning. At the end of year, the following products will yield: 1) the curriculum; 2) some first year performance tasks/projects; 3) sample projects demonstrating progressively moving toward systems level thinking; 4) faculty training materials; Dimensions of Learning (DOL) mapping across courses; 5) procedure for course planning; and 6) summary of the performance. Advances in learning how to integrate and develop a model curriculum and incorporating the instructional Dimensions of Learning (DOL) framework in such a curriculum will occur. This project advances discovery and understanding while promoting teaching and leaning through the powerful Dimensions of Learning pedagogy, which acquires and integrate knowledge, extends and refine knowledge, uses knowledge meaningfully, and enables students to think critically, think creatively, and regulate behavior. Creative thinking generates new ways of viewing a situation that are outside the boundaries of standard conventions, which is true to advancing discovery. The collaboration between the disciplines of mathematics, science and engineering will open up to non-engineering faculty, like education faculty, the potential use of technology for teaching in their courses.
