Engineering-Mechanical (56)This project is a collaborative project between the University of Houston at Clear Lake and the University of Houston to develop multifunctional Labs-to-Go (LTG) kits that would enable undergraduate engineering students to engage in take-home hands-on experiments. The LTG kits include a set of components that can be easily configured to perform a range of experiments. The kits will be used in combination with course modules on the topics of systems dynamics, vibrations, controls, smart materials, active vibration damping, and sensors. The LTG kits provide students with an experimental and experiential component to help them better understand the associated physical concepts and theories. The project engages seven instructors from two universities. The LTG kits will be integrated into 16 courses with an anticipated impact on 525 engineering and technology students. Due to the diverse nature of the student populations at the institutions, the project aims to impact approximately 260 minority students. The LTG kits will target student learning of structures, dynamics, control, and electronics technology in multiple disciplines including civil engineering, mechanical engineering, and electronics technology. The project includes outreach efforts such as an exhibition at the Children's Museum of Houston and performing demos at local high schools.

工程机械（56）该项目是休斯顿大学清澈的湖水分校和休斯顿大学之间的一个合作项目，旨在开发多功能实验室（LTG）套件，使本科工程专业的学生能够进行带回家的动手实验。LTG试剂盒包括一组组件，可以轻松配置以执行一系列实验。这些工具包将与系统动力学、振动、控制、智能材料、主动减振和传感器等主题的课程模块结合使用。LTG套件为学生提供实验和体验组件，以帮助他们更好地理解相关的物理概念和理论。该项目聘请了来自两所大学的七名教员。LTG工具包将被纳入16门课程，预计将对525名工程和技术学生产生影响。由于这些机构学生群体的多样性，该项目旨在影响大约260名少数民族学生。LTG套件将针对学生学习结构，动力学，控制和电子技术，包括土木工程，机械工程和电子技术等多个学科。该项目包括外联工作，如在休斯顿儿童博物馆举办展览，并在当地高中进行演示。
