Student-Centered Learning Strategies For A Face-To-Face and Online Circuits Course

这个项目正在为一门二年级的电路入门课程开发一套积极和协作的学习模块，允许学生在实际电路应用的背景下探索和使用电路的标准概念和技术。该项目的一个新特点是使用最近完成课程的学生来修改和完善模块。这门新课程在博兹曼的蒙大拿州立大学开设，并通过远程学习的方式提供给比林斯的蒙大拿州立大学的学生。其他项目目标包括促进蒙大拿州内两年制工程预科和科学课程的学生转到蒙大拿州立大学，并开发在在线工程课程中使用高级教学法的模板。该项目包括严格的形成性和总结性评价计划，定性和定量部分均由独立评价员协调。评估计划旨在确定材料的质量，并确保实现项目目标。该项目的成果正通过会议和期刊出版物传播。该项目包括增加妇女和蒙大拿州美洲原住民社区参与的具体努力。

This project is developing a set of active and collaborative learning modules for an introductory sophomore level electric circuits course that allow students to explore and utilize the standard concepts and techniques of electrical circuits in the context of applications to practical circuits. A novel feature of the project is the use of students who have recently completed the course to revise and refine the modules. The new course is being offered at Montana State University in Bozeman and via distance learning to students at Montana State University in Billings. Additional project objectives include facilitating the transfer of students in two-year pre-engineering and science programs within the state of Montana to Montana State University and developing a template for using advanced pedagogies in online engineering courses. The project includes rigorous formative and summative evaluation plans with both qualitative and quantitative components coordinated by an independent evaluator. The evaluation plan is designed to establish the quality of the materials and to ensure the project goals are met. The project's results are being disseminated through conferences and journal publications. The project includes specific efforts to increase the engagement of women and the Native American community in Montana.
