Design in Mechanics of Materials Courses for Deeper Learning

工程-机械（56）这个CCLI第一阶段的探索性项目是开发材料设计项目的开放式力学，并通过互联网资源支持它们。该资源将包括完成项目所需的所有工具，例如：设计过程中的交互式示例、分析和模拟工具、材料属性和选择资源、团队项目的教师和学生资源，以及有关环境、经济、社会和道德问题的信息。该项目已在某大学系统主校区和区域校区的工程材料力学课程和工程技术课程中应用。这些基于项目的模块除了在课程的开始（基石）和结束（顶点）已经存在的课程之外，还为本科工程课程增加了更深入的学习体验。评估计划将评估学生在解释需求和概念化设计方面的熟练程度，以及将工程作为职业的动机。这些模块可以在网站上找到。项目成果正在国家专业会议和出版物上进行宣传。

Engineering - Mechanical (56)This CCLI Phase 1 Exploratory project is developing open-ended mechanics of materials design projects and supporting them with an Internet resource. This resource will include all the necessary tools to complete the project such as: the design process with interactive examples, analysis and simulation tools, materials properties and selection resources, instructor and student resources for team projects, as well as information about environmental, economical, social, and ethical issues. The trial project is being used in mechanics of materials courses for engineering and engineering technology courses on the main campus and regional campuses of a university system. These project-based modules are adding deeper learning experiences to the middle of the undergraduate engineering curriculum in addition to those that already exist at the beginning (cornerstone) and end (capstone) of the curriculum. Student proficiency at interpreting requirements and conceptualizing a design as well motivation to pursue engineering as a profession are being assessed in the evaluation plan. The modules are available on a website. Project results are being promoted at national professional conferences and in publications.
