Engineering - Civil (54)This project is utilizing an historic truss bridge to improve two courses in undergraduate civil engineering education, Structural Analysis and Construction Methods. The adaptive use of the truss bridge provides a vehicle for improving student's ability to create high quality computer models of structures and to develop high quality construction plans. Through this project, students are gaining a deep understanding of the differences that occur between real and theoretical structures in both analysis and construction. The project comprises four parts: (1) development of a protocol for adaptive use of historic truss bridges for pedestrian use, (2) development of a series of construction planning, sequencing, and estimating assignments that are based on the adaptive use of an historic truss bridge, (3) development of an instrumentation plan for the bridge, and (4) development of assignments for a structural analysis course that uses the measured deflections and forces in truss members and compares them to theoretical values. The project is being rigorously assessed to determine the impact on student learning and the materials developed are being widely disseminated for adoption at other institutions.

工程 - 民事（54）该项目利用一座历史悠久的桁架桥来改善本科土木工程教育，结构分析和建筑方法的两个课程。桁架桥的自适应使用提供了一种工具，可以提高学生创建高质量计算机模型并制定高质量建筑计划的能力。通过这个项目，学生对分析和构建中的真实结构和理论结构之间发生的差异有深入的了解。该项目包括四个部分：（1）开发用于自适应使用历史悠久的桁架桥的协议，用于行人使用，（2）开发一系列建筑计划，测序和估算作业，基于对历史悠久的桁架桥的适应性使用，（3）用于桥梁的仪器和比较的效力和（4）划定的仪式和（4）划定范围的范围和（4）理论价值。对该项目进行了严格的评估，以确定对学生学习的影响，并且开发的材料正在广泛传播，以便在其他机构采用。
