Multi-Disciplinary Project-Based Paradigm that Uses Hands-on Desktop Learning Modules and Modern Learning Pedagogies

（59）本项目是对早期CCLI项目的扩展，该项目开发了一个原型桌面学习模块（DLM），可用于实验和演示流体力学和传热的基本概念。DLM是一种桌面设备，具有多个易于拆卸的墨盒，可以重新配置以执行各种实验。研究发现，DLM的使用对学生的批判性思维技能产生了积极的、统计学上显著的影响，也提高了学生在米勒概念量表上的分数。在此扩展工作中，将重新设计DLM，以改进其功能和可维护性。正在建造更多的墨盒，以支持化学、土木、电气和生物医学工程方面的实验。该项目还开发了结合现代教学技术的配套课程和实验材料。新的DLM和墨盒正在五个不同机构的课堂上使用，从两年制学院到研究型大学。DLM对学生学习的影响正在所有五所院校进行严格研究。该项目正在与行业合作伙伴合作，将DLM从原型阶段转移到商业产品阶段。该项目的成果正在通过会议和期刊出版物以及ASEE化学工程暑期学校的专门教师发展讲习班进行传播。

Engineering - Other (59)This project is expanding an early CCLI project that developed a prototype desktop learning module (DLM) that could be used for experimentation and demonstration of basic concepts in fluid mechanics and heat transfer. The DLM is a desktop apparatus with multiple, easily removable cartridges that can be reconfigured to perform a variety of experiments. Studies have found that usage of the DLM has led to positive and statistically significant impacts on students' critical thinking skills and has also improved student scores on the Miller concept inventory. In this expansion effort, the DLM is being re-engineered to improve its functionality and serviceability. Additional cartridges are being built to support experiments in chemical, civil, electrical, and biomedical engineering. The project is also developing accompanying course and laboratory materials that incorporate modern pedagogical techniques. The new DLM and cartridges are being used in classes at five different institutions, ranging from a two-year college to a research intensive university. The impact of the DLM on student learning is being rigorously studied across all five institutions. The project is working with industry partners to move the DLM from the prototype stage to the commercial product stage. The results of the project are being disseminated through conference and journal publications and dedicated faculty development workshops at the ASEE Chemical Engineering Summer School.
