Engineering Education Research to Practice (E2R2P)

这个工程教育研究项目旨在创建一个“共鸣板”，让来自整个大学的广泛的利益相关者参与进来，监督课程开发和改革工作。 简而言之，这个项目的假设是，吸引大量的同行谁是投资于课程将促进更广泛的教师采用有效的教学方法。 PI将通过为课程重新设计过程创建一个试验平台来验证共鸣板的想法，该过程集成了各种性能改进过程。PI对更广泛地采用有效的工程方法的障碍的调查将产生该项目的更广泛的意义和重要性。 如果成功的话，这个项目可以增加对课程重新设计工作的支持，并确定利益攸关方对全面课程改革的潜在关切。 获得的数据可以告知STEM社区广泛采用的潜在障碍。 如果共鸣板模式是成功的想法是潜在的转移到其他程序。

This engineering education research project seeks to create a "sounding board" to involve a broad spectrum of stakeholders drawn from across the university to oversee curriculum development and change efforts. The hypothesis of this project is, in brief, that engaging a large number of peers who are invested in the curriculum will promote wider faculty adoption of effective teaching methods. The PI will validate the idea of a sounding board by creating a test-bed for the course redesign process which integrates a variety of performance improvement processes.The broader significance and importance of this project will arise from the PI's investigations of the barriers to wider adoption of effective engineering pedagogies. If successful, this project can increase buy-in to course redesign efforts and identify potential concerns of stakeholders to comprehensive curriculum reform. The data obtained can inform the STEM community of potential barriers to broad adoption. If the sounding board model is successful the idea is potentially transferable to other programs.
