项目摘要

Models are a critical part of the analysis and design of engineered systems. The purpose of multiple types of models (physical, mathematical, computational, and financial) is to provide a simplified representation of reality that mimics the features of the engineered system, and that predicts the behavior of the system. This project, a collaboration between Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, San Jose State University, and the University of Louisville, aims to improve engineering students' modeling competence. The project plans to achieve this goal by transforming first-year engineering courses to teach modeling as an engineering tool. The project will change existing course materials, pedagogy, and assessment methods across the three institutions. Each institution will implement its own specific strategy to teach mathematical, physical, computational, and financial modeling, thus providing three different approaches. By comparing student's modeling abilities across the institutions and approaches, the project aims to identify the most impactful approaches for teaching multiple modeling in introductory undergraduate engineering courses.The project is guided by a "holistic modeling perspective" theoretical framework, that builds on the successful "Models and Modeling Perspective" and "Computational Adaptive Expertise" frameworks. The objectives of the project are to: (1) implement, test, and refine holistic modeling environments for institutions that have flexibility in changing curriculum and for instructors that have different degrees of interest in changing their course(s); (2) implement, test, and refine methods to assess students' modeling abilities; and (3) evaluate and present the results of modeling abilities attained by students at three different universities. A unified language and discussion around modeling will be adopted in all revised courses. An assessment tool to measure students' modeling competence will be developed and implemented at each university. This work builds upon existing research in the development of more easily adaptable and adoptable modeling pedagogies and modeling languages. The following broad research question guides the research: How do students' definitional knowledge, ability to apply, and ability to create models change based on different degrees of modeling integration in the classroom?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.

模型是工程系统分析和设计的关键部分。多种类型的模型（物理、数学、计算和金融）的目的是提供一种简化的现实表示，模拟工程系统的特征，并预测系统的行为。该项目是安柏瑞德航空大学、圣何塞州立大学和路易斯维尔大学的合作项目，旨在提高工科学生的建模能力。该项目计划通过将第一年的工程课程转变为将建模作为工程工具来教授来实现这一目标。该项目将改变现有的课程材料，教学法，并在三个机构的评估方法。每个机构将实施自己的具体策略来教授数学，物理，计算和金融建模，从而提供三种不同的方法。通过比较学生在不同机构和方法中的建模能力，该项目旨在确定在本科工程入门课程中教授多种建模的最有效方法。该项目以“整体建模视角”理论框架为指导，该框架建立在成功的“模型和建模视角”和“计算自适应专业知识”框架之上。该项目的目标是：（1）为具有灵活性改变课程的机构和对改变课程有不同程度兴趣的教师实施、测试和改进整体建模环境;（2）实施、测试和改进评估学生建模能力的方法;（3）评估并呈现三所不同大学学生的建模能力。所有修订后的课程将采用统一的语言和围绕建模的讨论。将在每所大学开发和实施一个评估工具，以衡量学生的建模能力。这项工作建立在现有的研究，更容易适应和采用的建模体系结构和建模语言的发展。以下广泛的研究问题指导研究：学生的定义知识，应用能力和创建模型的能力如何根据课堂上不同程度的建模集成而变化？该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为是值得通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估的支持。
