Computer Science (31)Based on the experience of the Network Performance Research Laboratory (NetPRL) faculty and feedback from the computer engineering industrial advisory board, a knowledge and skills gap exists between the engineering curricula and real world engineering experience. In this project, investigators at California Polytechnic State University (Cal Poly) are advancing knowledge and understanding in the areas of project-based learning, multidisciplinary projects, undergraduate research, and teamwork. The researchers are developing a new electronics design and manufacturing course, a new introduction to systems design course, and are incorporating a scalable solution to project-based learning into the curriculum. All students are participating in the project-based learning capstone course using the hands-on Printed Circuit Board (PCB) model developed at Cal Poly. This arrangement allows the students to experience true concurrent engineering through an integrated design, manufacturing, and testing experience. Students are learning how to communicate and overcome obstacles in a multidisciplinary team and they are gaining valuable skills needed to transition to jobs in industry and to participate in advanced research projects. The revised course sequence and project-based learning component is providing students with an enriched learning experience and is addressing ABET program assessment outcomes. Cal Poly is partnering with a local community college to develop a lower-division PCB design and manufacturing module. The lower-division PCB module will make printed circuit board design accessible to a larger group of people including community college and high school students. The adaptation of the lower division PCB module is being introduced at Allan Hancock College, a Hispanic Serving Institution (TitleV). Developing and offering this curriculum in collaboration with the local community college faculty is fostering the growth of a community of scholars.

计算机科学(31)根据网络性能研究实验室(NetPRL)教职员工的经验和来自计算机工程产业顾问委员会的反馈，工程课程和现实世界的工程经验之间存在知识和技能差距。在这个项目中，加州理工州立大学(Cal Poly)的研究人员正在推进基于项目的学习、多学科项目、本科生研究和团队合作领域的知识和理解。研究人员正在开发一门新的电子设计和制造课程，一门新的系统设计入门课程，并将基于项目的学习的可扩展解决方案纳入课程。所有学生都参加了基于项目的学习课程，使用加州大学保利开发的动手印刷电路板(PCB)模型。这种安排允许学生通过集成的设计、制造和测试体验来体验真正的并行工程。学生们正在学习如何在多学科团队中沟通和克服障碍，他们正在获得过渡到行业工作和参与高级研究项目所需的宝贵技能。修订后的课程顺序和基于项目的学习部分正在为学生提供丰富的学习经验，并正在处理ABett计划的评估结果。Cal Poly正在与当地一所社区大学合作，开发一个较低级别的印刷电路板设计和制造模块。下层的印刷电路板模块将使包括社区大学和高中生在内的更多人能够接触到印刷电路板设计。西班牙裔服务机构艾伦·汉考克学院正在采用下级印刷电路板模块的改编。与当地社区学院教师合作开发和提供这门课程，正在促进学者社区的发展。
