HBCU-DCL: Collaborative Workshop Between the Experimental Centric Pedagogy and Mobile Hands-On STEM Projects

历史上的黑人学院和大学（HBCU）实验为中心的教学法（ECP）项目，与移动的动手干（MOHS）项目的合作支持联合研讨会，将探讨更广泛的影响和ECP的知识价值在少数民族服务合作的成功特征的背景下。 这个研讨会追求的教学法，是适应各种各样的领域，并从事和激发了大量的服务不足的少数民族学生参加了13个工程项目的兴趣扩展。指导性假设是，工程教育在实验发挥核心作用的学习环境中效果最好。MOHS项目追求补充活动，包括移动的动手的学生学习环境。由HBCU ECP和MOHS组主办的研讨会将与工程实践者合作，扩大学习教学法的范围。此外，他们寻求接触拉美裔服务机构，以了解扩展到HBCU以外的机会。 这包括使用Blooms Taxonomy和SWOT分析对教育活动进行分类的练习。 研讨会旨在概述几个先前确定的需要使用ECP的领域，包括;系统工程和集成，计划教学故障排除和调试的设计;以及它是否可以在原始HBCU之外使用，并像与西班牙裔服务机构合作一样变得包容;教学法是否支持真实的工程经验。将邀请来自各种不同背景的参与者，以确定如何最好地将ECP带到其他社区。该项目将增加我们对实验为中心的教学法如何影响工程教育中代表性不足的少数民族的理解，并可能影响我们未来的美国工程师队伍。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估来支持。

The Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) Experimental Centric Pedagogy (ECP) project, with the collaboration of the Mobile Hands-On STEM (MOHS) project supports a joint workshop that will explore broader impacts and intellectual merit of ECP within the context of the successful features of a Minority Serving collaboration. This workshop pursues expansion of an pedagogy that is adaptive to a wide variety of fields and that engages and stimulates interest by a large population of under-served minority students enrolled in the 13 engineering programs. The guiding hypothesis is that engineering education works best in a learning environment in which experimentation plays a central role. The MOHS project pursues complementary activities including mobile hands-on student learning environments.The workshop that is hosted by the HBCU ECP and MOHS groups will work with engineering practitioners and expand the scope of the learning pedagogy. Also, they seek to reach out to Hispanics Serving Institutions to understand the opportunities to expand beyond HBCUs. This includes exercises classifying educational activities using Blooms Taxonomy and SWOT analysis. The workshops seeks to outline several previously identified areas of need for using ECP including; systems engineering and integration, design of plans teaching troubleshooting and debugging; and can it be used beyond the original HBCUs and become inclusive like working with Hispanic Serving Institutions; does the pedagogy support authentic engineering experiences. Participants will be invited from a wide range of diverse backgrounds to establish how best to bring ECP to other communities. This project will add to our understanding on how an experimental centric pedagogy impacts underrepresented minorities in engineering education and may influence our future workforce of engineers in the U.S.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
