项目摘要
Interdisciplinary (99)Engineering - Other (59)This study is examining a strategy for improving the lifelong learning skills of engineering students, by improving their writing and critical thinking skills. Critical thinking in this project is defined to be reasonable, reflective thinking that is focused on deciding what to believe or do based on personal assessments of the authenticity, accuracy, and worth of knowledge claims and arguments. In this project, the impact of pairing skills courses (English) with content courses (in Engineering) is being explored for freshman engineering students. Clustering and pairing of classes is creating a type of learning community where the deliberate cross fertilization of ideas and assignments is teaching students how material is applied in a variety of contexts. This design is creating a venue for students to apply and test their skills as they learn them. The project is measuring improvements in their critical thinking skills throughout the year. Intellectual Merit This project is improving critical thinking skills of freshman students through structured writing assignments, increasing the retention of freshman students in engineering, and raising the level of freshman student learning of both engineering content knowledge and engineering practice. Broader Impacts The broader impact of this work is the knowledge gained about the effectiveness of this approach and the likelihood that this model will guide other universities in instituting similar approaches to building critical thinking skills and improved knowledge of engineering during the freshman year. The project is focusing in particular on the effectiveness of this living and learning community on female engineering students.
跨学科(99)工程-其他(59)这项研究正在审查一项战略,以提高工程专业学生的终身学习技能,通过提高他们的写作和批判性思维能力。 在这个项目中,批判性思维被定义为合理的,反思性的思维,专注于根据个人对知识主张和论点的真实性,准确性和价值的评估来决定相信什么或做什么。 在这个项目中,配对技能课程(英语)与内容课程(工程)的影响正在探索新生工程专业的学生。 班级的集群和配对正在创建一种学习社区,在这种社区中,思想和作业的精心交叉施肥正在教学生如何在各种背景下应用材料。 这个设计为学生创造了一个在学习过程中应用和测试他们技能的场所。 该项目正在衡量他们全年批判性思维技能的提高。 智力价值本项目通过结构化的写作作业提高新生的批判性思维能力,提高新生对工程的保留率,提高新生对工程内容知识和工程实践的学习水平。 更广泛的影响这项工作的更广泛的影响是获得了有关这种方法的有效性的知识,以及这种模式将指导其他大学在大学一年级建立类似的方法来培养批判性思维技能和提高工程知识的可能性。该项目特别注重这种生活和学习社区对工科女生的有效性。
