IMPLEMENTING THE "5XME" WORKSHOP RECOMMENDATIONS

本次建议研讨会的目的是为实施通过5XME制定的建议奠定基础。研讨会，2007年5月10-11日在弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿举行。拟议的讲习班将根据上次报告的建议，为不同类型的学校（例如，大型公立学校、大型私立学校、小型公立学校、小型私立学校）制定本科和研究生阶段的课程模板。预计这些模板将促进全国机械工程部门广泛采用5XME建议。不同的机械工程教育工作者将聚集在一起，以确保所有的观点和学习方式都得到充分考虑。这些研讨会的参与者将代表来自不同学校（即小型，大型，公立，私立）的领导（例如，部门主管，项目顾问），以减少在全国范围内机械工程系实施课程改革的障碍

The objective of this proposed workshop is to lay the groundwork for implementing the recommendations that were developed through The ?5XME? Workshop, held on May 10-11, 2007 in Arlington, Virginia. The proposed workshop will develop curricular templates, at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, based on the recommendations from the previous report, for various types of schools (e.g., large public, large private, small public, small private). It is anticipated that these templates will facilitate the adoption of the 5XME recommendations by a wide cross section of mechanical engineering departments across the country.A diverse group of mechanical engineering educators will be brought together in the workshop to ensure that all points of view and learning styles are fully considered. These workshop participants will represent leaders (e.g., department heads, program advisors) from a variety of schools (i.e., small, large, public, private) to reduce the barriers to implementation of curricular reforms in mechanical engineering departments across the country
