Engineering - Civil (54)The focus of this project is to develop web-based simulation modules to improve instruction in the Introduction to Transportation Engineering course that is a standard part of undergraduate civil engineering programs. Although simulation has proven to be a powerful tool in encouraging active learning in other disciplines, it has not been fully adopted in transportation engineering to this date. The modules are also suitable for upper-division transportation courses and cover fundamental topics in transportation engineering such as travel demand modeling, geometric design, traffic flow, and traffic signal control. The web-based interface allows easy access for users without the high cost associated with commercially available simulation products. The simulation-based materials form an active textbook, which offers an interactive learning environment to undergraduate students. The modules are being rigorously evaluated and tested in course offerings from civil engineering programs across the country and are being disseminated to the general public through interactive exhibits at the Minnesota Transportation Museum and the Minnesota State Fair.

工程-土木（54）该项目的重点是开发基于网络的模拟模块，以改善交通工程概论课程的教学，这是本科土木工程课程的标准部分。虽然模拟已被证明是一个强大的工具，鼓励积极学习其他学科，它还没有被完全采用在运输工程到目前为止。这些模块也适用于高年级交通课程，涵盖交通工程的基本主题，如出行需求建模，几何设计，交通流和交通信号控制。基于Web的界面允许用户轻松访问，而无需与商业可用的仿真产品相关的高成本。基于模拟的材料形成了一个活跃的教科书，它提供了一个互动的学习环境，本科生。这些模块正在全国各地的土木工程项目的课程中进行严格的评估和测试，并通过明尼苏达州交通博物馆和明尼苏达州博览会的互动展览向公众传播。
