Engineering - Other (59)The project team is organizing and conducting a one and one-half day workshop that focuses on the impacts that engineering curriculum structures have on how students (1) learn fundamental mathematics and sciences necessary for the engineering profession, (2) connect these fundamental skills to specific engineering theory and practices, and (3) retain an interest in engineering as a major course of study. The National Academy of Engineering is utilizing a committee of experts to assist in planning and executing the workshop. The committee members are recognized for their effectiveness and interest in developing curricular models and for their leadership in all aspects of engineering education. Additionally, they represent a diversity of disciplines, viewpoints and areas of emphasis. As a framework for the workshop, the committee members are developing the questions and discussion topics for the workshop around the skills and attributes described in The Engineer of 2020: Visions of Engineering in the New Century and around the recommendations put forward in Educating the Engineer of 2020: Adapting Engineering Education to the New Century. The workshop is extending the discussions generated during these earlier study efforts in order to provide additional direction to those faculty and administrators that are actively working to improve and revitalize their engineering education programs. The broader impacts of the project include the definition of new curricular models that emphasize an early introduction to engineering design and to societal impacts -- characteristics that reportedly appeal to individuals in underrepresented groups.

工程 - 其他（59）项目团队正在组织和举办一个二半的日间研讨会，重点是工程课程结构对学生（1）学习工程专业所必需的基本数学和科学的影响，（2）将这些基本技能与特定的工程理论和练习以及（3）保持一项专业的研究课程。美国国家工程学院正在利用专家委员会来协助计划和执行研讨会。委员会成员因其在开发课程模型以及在工程教育各个方面的领导方面的有效性和兴趣而受到认可。此外，它们代表了各种各样的学科，观点和重点领域。 作为研讨会的框架，委员会成员正在开发有关2020年工程师所描述的技能和属性的研讨会的问题和讨论主题：新世纪的工程愿景以及在2020年教育工程师：将工程教育适应新世纪的建议。该研讨会正在扩大这些早期研究工作期间产生的讨论，以便为那些正在积极努力改善和振兴其工程教育计划的教师和管理人员提供更多方向。 该项目的更广泛影响包括新的课程模型的定义，这些模型强调了对工程设计和社会影响的早期介绍 - 据报道，这些特征吸引了代表性不足的群体中的个人。
