This CAREER engineering education research project will advance our understanding of the differences in how engineering students and practicing engineers understand fundamental concepts of civil engineering. By mapping these differences, the project will help bridge the gap between what is taught in college and what students need to know to become effective civil engineers. Using the results of this research, educators understand be able to develop curricular materials that allow students to more rapidly enter the professional practice of engineering. A key aspect of this project is sharing the teaching tools widely among other universities.

这个职业工程教育研究项目将促进我们对工程专业学生和实践工程师如何理解土木工程基本概念的差异的理解。 通过绘制这些差异，该项目将有助于弥合大学所教内容与学生成为有效土木工程师所需知识之间的差距。 利用这项研究的结果，教育工作者理解能够开发课程材料，让学生更快地进入工程专业实践。 该项目的一个关键方面是在其他大学之间广泛分享教学工具。
