项目摘要
Engineering students receive much of their education and training from engineering professors, peers, internship (or similar) experiences, student organizations, and the structure of the curricula in their departments. However, it is not clear how well-aligned students? education and training are with what they will be expected to do in the workplace after they graduate. While there have been investigations into what skills and knowledge are valued in the workplace, there has been minimal investigation into what engineering professors and students think these skills and knowledge are. For example, many engineering professors have not worked in the types of workplaces where most engineering graduates begin their careers, and this difference in training and experience between academics and industry professionals may influence how and what professors teach. Students who have never worked in engineering jobs may have incomplete or incorrect knowledge about what will be required of them or useful in the workplace. To help better connect engineering teaching to outcomes (useful skills and knowledge for engineering graduates), this project aims to gather the experiences, perceptions, and values of faculty, students, and working professionals. The project will focus specifically on the energy sector because this sector is a critical component of the nation's economy, and there is growing demand for STEM professionals in the energy field.The goal of this project is to deepen research on the professional formation of engineers and expand the community of researchers in this field. While there has been extensive research on the knowledge, skills, and attitudes required of engineers in the workplace, there is limited awareness about engineering professors' and students' perspectives and their perceptions of workplace competencies. This project aims to close that knowledge gap by connecting workplace competencies, as perceived by energy engineering professionals in the workplace, to the perceptions of professional competencies of engineering students who will enter the workplace, as well as the faculty who prepare those students. The objectives of the project are to: (1) provide a holistic model of competencies required for engineers entering the workforce, (2) compare this model to the competencies guiding academic engineering programs and practitioners, (3) train engineering professors in engineering education and social science research methods, and (4) provide a foundation for future research in the formation of engineers. The study will focus on the energy sector by investigating energy engineering programs and partnering with an industry collaborator. The methods involve two rounds of interviews of professors, students, and industry professionals. The proposed project will provide knowledge about the skills and competencies required in engineering careers as well as discrepancies or concurrences between engineering educators' and students' perceptions about the relevant skills and competencies. Its comprehensive approach to simultaneously studying industry professionals, faculty, and students is unique, and the knowledge created will enable the comparison of competency models reflecting a more holistic view of how engineers are formed within the energy field and beyond.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.
工程专业的学生从工程学教授、同行、实习(或类似)经历、学生组织以及他们所在部门的课程结构中接受大部分教育和培训。然而,目前还不清楚如何对齐学生?教育和培训与他们毕业后在工作场所的期望有关。虽然已经有调查什么技能和知识在工作场所的价值,有很少的调查工程教授和学生认为这些技能和知识是什么。例如,许多工程学教授没有在大多数工程学毕业生开始职业生涯的工作场所工作过,学术界和行业专业人士在培训和经验方面的这种差异可能会影响教授的教学方式和内容。从未从事过工程工作的学生可能对他们需要什么或在工作场所有用的知识不完整或不正确。为了帮助更好地将工程教学与成果(工程毕业生的有用技能和知识)联系起来,该项目旨在收集教师,学生和工作专业人士的经验,看法和价值观。该项目将以能源领域为重点,因为能源领域是国民经济的重要组成部分,能源领域对STEM专业人才的需求不断增长。该项目的目标是深化对工程师职业形成的研究,并扩大该领域的研究人员群体。虽然已经有广泛的研究,在工作场所的工程师所需的知识,技能和态度,有有限的认识工程教授和学生的观点和他们的看法工作场所的能力。该项目旨在通过将工作场所的能源工程专业人员在工作场所所感知的工作场所能力与即将进入工作场所的工程专业学生的专业能力以及为这些学生做准备的教师的看法联系起来来缩小这一知识差距。该项目的目标是:(1)提供进入劳动力市场的工程师所需的能力的整体模型,(2)将此模型与指导学术工程项目和从业人员的能力进行比较,(3)在工程教育和社会科学研究方法方面培训工程教授,以及(4)为未来工程师的形成提供基础。该研究将通过调查能源工程项目并与行业合作伙伴合作,重点关注能源部门。这些方法包括对教授、学生和行业专业人士进行两轮面试。拟议的项目将提供有关工程职业所需的技能和能力的知识,以及工程教育工作者和学生对相关技能和能力的看法之间的差异或一致性。它同时研究行业专业人士、教师和学生的综合方法是独一无二的,所创造的知识将使能力模型的比较能够反映出能源领域内外工程师如何形成的更全面的观点。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。
