项目摘要
This project will conduct a workshop to give faculty from liberal arts colleges the tools they need to offer an introductory course in engineering. Exposing students at liberal arts colleges to engineering will expand a little used path into the engineering profession with the potential to increase the gender and racial diversity of the field. The workshop will teach faculty from science departments at liberal arts colleges to offer an introduction to engineering course and provide them with the curriculum and supplies necessary to get started. Liberal arts faculty have already expressed a desire to increase the exposure of liberal arts students to engineering as a career option. Liberal arts colleges have long supplied capable and well-qualified entrants into professions such as law, business, and medicine. The career path of a liberal arts bachelor's degree in science combined with a graduate engineering degree represents a highly achievable route to the benefits of an engineering career for liberal arts students and provides the engineering profession with a potential infusion of individuals from the gender and ethnic diversity contained in liberal arts institutions.The lack of gender and ethnic diversity in engineering merits aggressive exploration of other viable paths into the profession. Professions such as law, business, and medicine are more diverse than engineering, possibly due in part to the greater number of pathways into the profession. Liberal arts students pursue careers in law, business, and medicine but seldom engineering. Engineering has benefited little from the talent pool represented by liberal arts schools in part because the usual path into engineering demands an early commitment on the part of the student to pursue engineering. However, students who complete an undergraduate major in science or mathematics are able to pursue graduate degrees in engineering by completing necessary prerequisites as part of a master's degree program. This proposal will pilot test a design-based introduction to engineering course that can be taught by science faculty and that will be suitable for liberal arts students. This course will help students to become aware of the option of the liberal arts science major combined with a graduate engineering degree. This engineering career path could be a viable replacement for the largely disused 3-2 liberal arts and engineering dual degree programs.
该项目将举办一个研讨会,为文科院校的教师提供开设工程学入门课程所需的工具。 让文科院校的学生接触工程学将为工程专业提供一条有用的道路,并有可能增加该领域的性别和种族多样性。该研讨会将教授文科学院科学系的教师介绍工程课程,并为他们提供入门所需的课程和用品。 文科教师已经表达了增加文科学生接触工程作为职业选择的愿望。文理学院长期以来一直为法律、商业和医学等专业提供有能力和合格的入学者。 文科理科学士学位与研究生工程学位相结合的职业道路代表了文科学生获得工程职业利益的一条高度可实现的路线,并为工程专业提供了来自文科院校所包含的性别和种族多样性的个人的潜在注入。进入职业的道路。法律、商业和医学等专业比工程学更多样化,部分原因可能是进入该专业的途径更多。文科学生追求法律,商业和医学的职业生涯,但很少工程。 工程学从以文科学校为代表的人才库中获益甚微,部分原因是进入工程学的通常途径要求学生尽早承诺从事工程学。然而,完成科学或数学本科专业的学生可以通过完成必要的先决条件作为硕士学位课程的一部分来攻读工程研究生学位。这项建议将试点测试一个基于设计的工程课程介绍,可以由科学系教授,这将是适合文科学生。 本课程将帮助学生了解文科科学专业与研究生工程学位相结合的选择。这种工程职业道路可能是基本上废弃的3-2文科和工程双学位课程的可行替代品。
