Improving Introduction to Engineering by Combining Insights from Non-engineers with Portable Equipment

工程其他（59）该项目正在创建实验室模块，重点是在非工程专业学生的技术扫盲课程中取得成功的活动和观点。 PI正在开发一个网关工程课程，旨在吸引学生最初不倾向于主修工程。 这项工作是基于以前的工作，在开发和教学过程中的技术非工程师。 该项目特别侧重于课程的实验室部分，开发易于适应现有工程学入门课程或非工程学学生技术素养课程的实验室模块。 为了满足社区学院工程项目的独特需求，正在调查运输箱或设备调色板的物流和商业可行性。

Engineering Other (59)This project is creating laboratory modules with an emphasis on activities and perspectives shown to be successful in technological literacy courses for non-engineering students. The PIs are developing a Gateway to Engineering course that is intended to attract students not initially predisposed to major in engineering. This work is based on previous work in developing and teaching a course on technology for non-engineers. This project is focusing specifically on the laboratory component of the course, developing laboratory modules that are easily adapted into existing introduction to engineering courses, or courses on technological literacy for non-engineering students. To meet the unique needs of community college engineering programs, the logistical and commercial feasibility of shipping boxes or palettes of equipment is being investigated.
