中文摘要
工程-其他(59)在这个快速变化的世界中,几乎不可能为工程专业的学生准备好他们在未来职业生涯中可能遇到的所有问题。认识到这一点,ABET和其他机构主张工程课程灌输给学生认识到终身学习的必要性。许多机构努力将终身学习课程和评估纳入其计划。该项目正在开发一个针对一年级工程专业学生的研讨会课程,向他们灌输终身学习的承诺。终身学习技能,如自我导向,元认知和批判性反思是课程中包括的主题。这些课程围绕一个组合项目组织,通过该项目,学生将工程作为一种职业,并在数学和科学与这一愿景之间建立概念联系。学生们正在探索学习和教育的理论,并反思自己的学习。还通过这一项目举办了教员发展讲习班,以协助教员开设研讨班课程。目前正在对研讨会课程和讲习班进行严格评估,从而形成了终身学习成果的评估模式。
英文摘要
Engineering - Other (59)In this fast-changing world, it is virtually impossible to prepare engineering students for all of the problems they might encounter in their future careers. Recognizing this, ABET and other agencies have advocated that engineering programs instill in their students a recognition of the need for lifelong learning. Many institutions struggle to include lifelong learning courses and assessments in their programs. This project is developing a seminar course aimed at first-year engineering students that will instill in them a commitment to lifelong learning. Lifelong learning skills such as self-directedness, metacognition, and critical reflection are topics being included in the course. The courses are organized around a portfolio project through which students develop a vision of engineering as a profession and make a conceptual connection between mathematics and science and this vision. Students are exploring theories of learning and education and are reflecting on their own learning. Faculty development workshops to assist faculty in delivering the seminar course are also being accomplished through this project. The seminar course and workshops are being rigorously evaluated resulting in model assessment practices for lifelong learning outcomes.
