Engineering - Other (59)The project is enabling engineering students in a capstone course to design and build creative tools for teaching engineering concepts to K-12 students. Working on multidisciplinary teams, students are creating Traveling Engineering Activity Kits (TEAKs) that are being brought into K-12 classrooms, and they implementing interactive websites that can be used for TEAK follow-up and stand-alone classroom activities. Through these efforts, approximately 30-40 engineering students per year are enhancing their own understanding of engineering fundamentals. Several engineering students are working as coop students on the TEAK project and in this role they are traveling to area schools to teach engineering while developing and enhancing the TEAK offerings. The evaluation efforts is using interviews and surveys, including several established tools, to examine the impact on the engineering students' understanding of fundamentals and on the quality of the senior design projects, the multidisciplinary senior design program, and the TEAK outreach program. The investigators are disseminating their ideas and results through websites, presentation at engineering education conferences, a faculty workshop, and postings on several established databases and digital libraries. Broader impacts include an extensive outreach effort to K-12 students and the dissemination of the material through several mechanisms.

工程-其他（59）该项目使参加顶点课程的工程专业学生能够设计和构建创造性工具，用于向K-12学生教授工程概念。学生们与多学科团队合作，正在制作旅行工程活动工具包（TEAKs），并将其带入K-12教室，他们还开发了可用于TEAK后续活动和独立课堂活动的互动网站。通过这些努力，每年大约有30-40名工程专业的学生正在提高他们对工程基础知识的理解。几名工程专业的学生在TEAK项目中作为合作学生工作，在这个角色中，他们前往地区学校教授工程，同时开发和增强TEAK产品。评估工作使用访谈和调查，包括一些已建立的工具，来检查对工程专业学生对基础知识的理解和对高级设计项目、多学科高级设计项目和TEAK外展项目质量的影响。研究人员通过网站、在工程教育会议上的演讲、教师研讨会以及在几个已建立的数据库和数字图书馆上的帖子来传播他们的想法和结果。更广泛的影响包括对K-12学生的广泛推广工作，以及通过几种机制传播材料。
