IMPLEMENTING THE "5XME" WORKSHOP RECOMMENDATIONS

这个拟议研讨会的目标是为实施通过？5XME？制定的建议奠定基础。研讨会，于2007年5月10日至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，为各种类型的学校(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)制定本科生和研究生课程模板。预计这些模板将促进全国机械工程部门广泛采用5XME建议。一批不同的机械工程教育工作者将聚集在研讨会上，以确保充分考虑所有观点和学习方式。这些研讨会的参与者将代表来自不同学校(即，小的、大的、公立的、私立的)的领导人(例如，系主任、项目顾问)，以减少全国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
