This project aims to improve competency in students? use of programming and computational tools in engineering. Hardware is being introduced into the mix of educational tools as a means to bridge the gap between syntax and programming strategies. Based on three learning principles deemed critical for programming skills (student engagement, knowledge transfer, and self-directed learning), a set of programming toolkits and experiences is being vertically integrated through the curriculum and implemented at multiple universities. The project provides an innovative solution to the classic difficulty associated with learning to program; the contrasting demands between knowledge of programming language (syntax) versus programming strategies (problem solving with programs). The project involves diverse partnerships among four-year universities and community colleges to enable broad impacts for engineering students.

该项目旨在提高学生的能力？在工程中使用编程和计算工具。硬件正在被引入教育工具的组合中，作为弥合语法和编程策略之间差距的一种手段。基于被认为对编程技能至关重要的三项学习原则(学生参与、知识传授和自我指导学习)，一套编程工具包和经验正通过课程垂直整合，并在多所大学实施。该项目提供了一种创新的解决方案，解决了与学习编程有关的经典困难；编程语言(语法)知识与编程策略(用程序解决问题)之间的相反需求。该项目涉及四年制大学和社区学院之间的各种合作伙伴关系，以实现对工科学生的广泛影响。
