CU Thinking

该奖项是根据2009年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法111-5）资助的。该工程教育研究奖授予克莱姆森大学，将聘请研究人员调查工程专业的学生如何组织先验知识，并制定有效的解决问题的策略。平板电脑将被用来捕捉学生的解决方案的过程，包括所有的笔画和擦除的完整历史。这将有助于分析错误和确定低效的战略和误解。由于有效的问题解决是所有工程学科的基础，开发的方法来分析解决问题的步骤和分析结果的序列将作出重要贡献的认知科学和工程教育。这项工作可以提供指导课程的变化，以提高学生的学习，制定有效的解决问题的策略，并将有助于更好地准备工程师填补工程工作。

This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5)This engineering education research award to Clemson University will employ researchers to investigate how engineering students organize prior knowledge and develop effective problem solving strategies. Tablet PCs will be used to capture a complete history of students' solution processes including all strokes and erasures. This will allow analysis of mistakes and identification of inefficient strategies and misconceptions. Since effective problem solving is fundamental to all engineering disciplines, the methods developed to analyze sequences of problem solving steps and the results of the analysis will make important contributions to cognitive science and engineering education. This work can provide guidance for curricular changes to improve student learning by developing efficient problem solving strategies and will contribute to better preparation of engineers to fill engineering jobs.
