项目摘要

Numerical methods are taught by many engineering disciplines throughout the nation and therefore more engaging and effective teaching of these methods could result in better prepared engineering graduates. When teaching numerical methods it is critical to cover not only theoretical concepts required for algorithm development and selection but also the precise language of computer programming required for algorithm implementation. This project is evaluating the efficacy of using an inverted classroom methodology to teach these diverse concepts. Results from this project will include on-line materials that encourage and support use of active in-class pedagogical methods and assessments of these materials and methods. These results will inform the education community regarding the efficacy of teaching numerical methods using an Inverted classroom methodology. The materials will be readily available to engineering departments nationally and assessment results will help faculty better understand what aspects of numerical methods can be taught using an inverted methodology and also will give them the resources needed to teach in similar ways. Multiple universities with diverse student populations are implementing the methods and materials of this project. Assessment and evaluation is performed by another university not affiliated with the implementers; therefore, evaluation is independent of the instructors. Evaluation of student performance is partially being assessed using a numerical methods concept inventory which is being developed by the program. Successful results in this research could transform the way engineering programs teach numerical methods nationally.

全国许多工程学科都教授数值方法，因此这些方法的更吸引人和更有效的教学可以使工程毕业生做好更好的准备。当教学数值方法，这是至关重要的，不仅要涵盖算法的发展和选择所需的理论概念，但也需要算法的实施计算机编程的精确语言。这个项目正在评估使用倒置课堂教学法来教授这些不同概念的效果。该项目的成果将包括鼓励和支持使用积极的课堂教学方法的在线材料以及对这些材料和方法的评估。这些结果将告知教育界关于使用倒置课堂方法教学数值方法的有效性。这些材料将随时提供给全国工程部门和评估结果将帮助教师更好地了解什么方面的数值方法可以教使用倒置的方法，也将给他们所需的资源，以类似的方式教。拥有不同学生群体的多所大学正在实施这一项目的方法和材料。评估和评价是由另一所不隶属于实施者的大学进行的;因此，评价独立于教师。对学生成绩的评价部分是使用该方案正在开发的数字方法概念清单进行评估。这项研究的成功结果可以改变全国工程项目教授数值方法的方式。
