There are many engineering concepts that, to an expert eye, are clearly related to each other but seem quite disconnected to novices and students. The Engineering Genome project builds on previous NSF work and is developing learner-centered tools for linking these engineering concepts, thus enabling students to better recognize the interrelationships of the concepts. It is expected that by enabling students to recognize these relationships, students will more quickly develop expert-like behavior and understanding. The understanding of these relationships also serves to assist students as they search for learning materials related to a subject they are studying. Analogous to Pandora, the internet radio search application that relates and finds similar music using a music genome, the Engineering Genome project will implement a search method for finding related engineering concepts using the Engineering Genome. The project is developing the Engineering Genome for a subset of engineering topics and is assessing the efficacy of the genome for enhancing student learning.

在专家眼中，有许多工程学概念显然是相互关联的，但对初学者和学生来说似乎完全没有关联。工程基因组项目建立在以前NSF工作的基础上，并正在开发以学习者为中心的工具，将这些工程概念联系起来，从而使学生能够更好地认识到这些概念之间的相互关系。预计通过使学生认识到这些关系，学生将更快地形成专家式的行为和理解。对这些关系的理解也有助于学生搜索与他们正在学习的学科相关的学习材料。与Pandora类似，Pandora是一种互联网广播搜索应用程序，它使用音乐基因组来关联和查找类似的音乐，工程基因组计划将实施一种搜索方法，使用工程基因组来查找相关的工程概念。该项目正在为工程学课题的子集开发工程基因组，并正在评估基因组对促进学生学习的有效性。
