More Than a Building: A Living Laboratory to Engage Students in the Computing and Engineering Sciences

工程-工程技术（58）本项目使用计算机和工程大楼作为动手实验室，创造性地让学生参与解决现实世界的问题。这四个项目要素包括：1)创建一个只读界面，连接建筑运行数据和一个交互式网站，使教师、学生和更广泛的科学教育界可以使用这些数据；2)将该建筑作为实验室，采用主动的、基于问题的和协作的学习方式，修改、教学和评估三门课程；3)开展活动，利用建筑数据向来访的代表性不足的中学生讲授能源的使用，并在这些年轻人中培养对计算机科学、工程和物理的兴趣；4)向中等和大学水平的工程教育界广泛传播材料、课程和知识。

Engineering-Engineering Technology (58) This project is using a Computer and Engineering Building as a hands-on laboratory that creatively engages students in real-world problem solving. The four project elements include: 1) creating a read-only interface to the building operating data and an interactive website that makes the data available to faculty, students, and the broader science education community; 2) revising, teaching, and assessing three classes using the building as a laboratory and incorporating active, problem-based and collaborative learning; 3) developing activities that use the building data to teach visiting underrepresented secondary students about the use of energy and creating an interest in computer science, engineering and physics among these youth; and, 4) disseminating materials, curriculum and knowledge broadly to the secondary and university-level engineering education community.
