The project is creating instructional materials designed to help students achieve the professional growth needed in team-based design projects and professional practice and to empower faculty for effective assessment-driven development of the students' ability and attitudes in teamwork and professional development. The project builds on a prior NSF funded project and involves a diverse set of institutions. Curriculum materials are being designed to connect with students' previous experience and knowledge, develop knowledge with underlying structure or organization, construct understanding in the context of an engineering design, and refine understanding through focused feedback. Instructional activities engage learners in content and the professional community, using steps such as: motivation/purpose, posing inquiry questions, individual exploration, group processing, application of learning, and reflection. Instructor guides are being developed to coach educators on how and when to use instructional materials and assessments for best results in their design classes. Evaluation efforts include qualitative and quantitative measures (surveys, focused interviews, and student essays) to monitor progress on each project outcome. Broader impacts include the dissemination of the project's instructional material.

该项目正在制作教学材料，旨在帮助学生实现基于团队的设计项目和专业实践所需的专业成长，并使教师能够有效地评估学生在团队合作和专业发展方面的能力和态度。 该项目建立在先前的NSF资助项目的基础上，涉及一系列不同的机构。正在设计课程材料，以联系学生以前的经验和知识，发展知识的基础结构或组织，在工程设计的背景下构建理解，并通过重点反馈完善理解。教学活动使学习者参与到内容和专业社区中，使用的步骤包括：动机/目的，提出询问问题，个人探索，小组处理，学习的应用和反思。 目前正在编写教师指南，指导教育工作者如何以及何时使用教学材料和评估，以在设计课程中取得最佳效果。 评估工作包括定性和定量措施（调查，重点访谈和学生论文），以监测每个项目成果的进展情况。 更广泛的影响包括传播该项目的教学材料。
