Capability-Focused Real-World-Based Technology-Enabled (CARTEL) Instructional Strategy: Development and Testing in Introductory Courses

本项目的重点是通过奥本大学创新技术与工程教育实验室开发的案例研究，显著提高信息技术导论课程的教学效果。该项目的目标包括：1)实施以能力为中心的基于现实世界的信息技术教学策略；2)培养学生的批判性思维能力；3)增加学生使用信息技术来掌握课程教学中涵盖的概念。此外，该项目还包括课程映射技术的开发，以协助课程规划、开发和教学策略的交付。正在实施评价和评估战略，以完善课程规划和教学战略计划。机械工程学院和学生都受益于这一新课程的改进。

Engineering - Mechanical (56) This project focuses on significantly enhancing the Introduction to Information Technology course through the infusion of case studies developed by the Laboratory for Innovative Technology and Engineering Education at Auburn University. The targeted goals of the project include: 1) implementation of a capability-focused real-world based information technology-enabled instructional strategy; 2) development of critical thinking capabilities among students; and 3) increased student usage of information technologies in mastering concepts covered in course instruction. In addition, this project includes the development of course mapping techniques to assist in course planning, development, and delivery of instructional strategies. Evaluation and assessment strategies are being implemented to refine the course mapping and instructional strategy plans. Mechanical Engineering faculty and students are benefiting from this new curriculum enhancement.
