项目摘要

This project aims to serve the national interest in undergraduate STEM education by investigating the learning and experiences of undergraduate students in virtual mechanical and aerospace engineering laboratories. The COVID-19 pandemic has ignited multiple crises in student lives, including sudden changes in living situations, decrease in study hours, lower academic performance, lost internships/jobs, and lowered income expectation. At the same time, the COVID-19 pandemic places new emphasis on the potential benefits of remote learning arrangements including online virtual labs in engineering. However, although these virtual engineering labs may be intended to increase student access to learning, these labs may also perpetuate climates and cultures of inequality. The project will investigate the design of a virtual lab framework intended to promote equity and inclusion for all students, in particular those who are underrepresented in engineering. The project team will examine how students engage with, learn from, and adapt to new virtual lab tools and how these tools affect students’ motivation to learn and their self-identification with engineering. The project focuses on three aims: (i) the design of a validated educational instrument for assessment of learning in virtual labs; (ii) the investigation of online-learning technologies and the conditions that lead to improved teaching and learning; and (iii) faculty professional development. The research component of the project will examine how the language, gender, race, and class of people appearing in a virtual lab affect the level of student comfort and participation in virtual lab activities in senior capstone labs. The research design includes a sequential exploratory mixed method approach, undergirded by appropriate theoretical models (Technology Acceptance Model and Inputs-Environment-Outcome Conceptual Model). It is expected that results of this work will inform virtual lab designers about environmental inputs that resonate across genders and diverse student populations. Findings will be disseminated via publications, presentations, and learning modules to engineering, engineering education, and educational research audiences. The NSF IUSE: EHR Program supports research and development projects to improve the effectiveness of STEM education for all students. Through the Engaged Student Learning track, the program supports the creation, exploration, and implementation of promising practices and tools.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.
该项目旨在通过调查本科生在虚拟机械和航空航天工程实验室中的学习和经验,为本科生STEM教育的国家利益服务。COVID-19疫情引发了学生生活中的多重危机,包括生活环境的突然变化、学习时间的减少、学习成绩的下降、实习机会/工作的减少以及收入预期的降低。 与此同时,COVID-19大流行使远程学习安排(包括工程学在线虚拟实验室)的潜在益处重新受到重视。然而,尽管这些虚拟工程实验室可能旨在增加学生的学习机会,但这些实验室也可能使不平等的气候和文化永久化。该项目将研究虚拟实验室框架的设计,旨在促进所有学生的公平和包容,特别是那些在工程领域代表性不足的学生。项目团队将研究学生如何参与,学习和适应新的虚拟实验室工具,以及这些工具如何影响学生的学习动机和他们对工程的自我认同。该项目侧重于三个目标:(一)设计一种有效的教育工具,用于评估虚拟实验室中的学习情况;(二)调查在线学习技术和改善教学的条件;以及(三)教师专业发展。该项目的研究部分将研究如何在虚拟实验室中出现的人的语言,性别,种族和阶级影响学生的舒适度和参与高级顶点实验室的虚拟实验室活动的水平。研究设计包括一个连续的探索性混合方法的方法,由适当的理论模型(技术接受模型和输入-环境-结果概念模型)支撑。预计这项工作的结果将告知虚拟实验室的设计者有关环境的投入,在不同性别和不同的学生群体之间产生共鸣。调查结果将通过出版物,演示文稿和学习模块传播到工程,工程教育和教育研究的观众。NSF IUSE:EHR计划支持研究和开发项目,以提高所有学生STEM教育的有效性。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命,并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,被认为值得支持。
