This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).This engineering education research award to Carnegie Mellon University will develop new analytical methods to study learning in engineering project teams. These methods will be based on the recent theoretical findings from the study of group cognition. The specific research objectives are to create analytic tools that automatically detect and tag evidence of learning events in group discussions and that summarize the evolving content of the documents created by a group. The project will also create visualization tools that integrate and summarize the team communication to track the emergence of a shared solution. The results will be presented at technical conferences and published in professional journals. The goal of this research is to better prepare students for the practice of engineering through developing tools to enhance team work skills. These techniques are expected to increase students' interest in engineering and will enhance the number who complete engineering degrees and are ready to fill engineering jobs.

该奖项是根据2009年的《美国回收与再投资法》（美国法律111-5）资助的。这本为卡内基·梅隆大学（Carnegie Mellon University）授予的工程教育研究奖将开发新的分析方法来研究工程项目团队中的学习学习。这些方法将基于群体认知研究的最新理论发现。具体的研究目标是创建分析工具，以自动检测和标记小组讨论中学习事件的证据，并总结小组创建的文档的不断发展的内容。 该项目还将创建可视化工具，以集成和总结团队通信，以跟踪共享解决方案的出现。结果将在技术会议上介绍，并在专业期刊上发布。这项研究的目的是通过开发工具来增强团队工作技能的工具，以更好地为学生做好准备进行工程练习。预计这些技术将增加学生对工程学的兴趣，并将提高完成工程学位并准备填补工程工作的人数。
