CCLI Phase II: Collaborative Research - Teaching the Global, Economic, Environmental, and Societal Foundations of Engineering Design through Product Archaeology

该项目是纽约州立大学布法罗分校、宾夕法尼亚州立大学和西北大学的合作项目，将考古学的概念与网络增强的产品解剖的进步结合起来，实施新的教育创新，直接解决工程学课程中具有挑战性的全球、经济、环境和社会方面的问题。该方法建立在该团队之前在基于网络的产品解剖教学法方面的演示和评估工作的基础上，通过开发和传播可扩展的学习材料、策略和教育创新，发展学生对更广泛的工程背景的理解。具体地说，它们是(1)创建基于网络产品的综合课堂活动和学习材料，用于从一年级到高中的与工程设计相关的课程；(2)在核心领域开发类比和评估工具，以确保可持续部署，产生全国影响；以及(3)举办动手讲习班，通过教师发展和外联，促进基于产品考古学的新教学策略的传播。评估工作正在审查通过实际学习材料和练习中嵌入的评估对学生学习的影响，其材料被其他人采用的程度，以及促进或阻碍其他人采用的因素。更广泛的影响包括通过教员讲习班积极传播，以及针对女高中生和技术和科学教师的重点K-12外联努力。

The project, a collaborative effort involving SUNY at Buffalo, Pennsylvania State University, and Northwestern University, is combining concepts from archaeology with advances in cyber-enhanced product dissection to implement new educational innovations that will directly address the challenging global, economic, environmental, and societal aspects in an engineering curriculum. The approach builds upon the team's previous demonstration and assessment efforts in cyber-enabled product dissection-based pedagogy by developing and disseminating scalable learning materials, strategies, and educational innovations that develop students' understanding of the broader context of engineering. Specifically, they are (1) creating integrative in-class activities and learning materials based on a cyber-enabled product for engineering design-related courses that span freshmen through senior levels; (2) developing rubrics and assessment tools in core areas to ensure sustainable deployment with national impact; and (3) conducting hands-on workshops to foster dissemination of new teaching strategies based on product archaeology through faculty development and outreach. Evaluation efforts are examining the impact on student learning through assessments embedded in the actual learning material and exercises, the extent to which their materials are adopted by others, and the factors that facilitate or impede adoption by others. Broader impacts include aggressive dissemination through faculty workshops and focused K-12 outreach efforts targeting female high school students and technology and science teachers.
