This award will support an Engineering Mechanics Education Workshop to be held in conjunction with the 2023 Engineering Mechanics Institute Conference at Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, Georgia, 6-9 June 2023. Engineering mechanics education is now at a crossroad, facing the challenge to train an inclusive workforce equipped with modern tools to address 21st century engineering needs in comparison with continuing with the business-as-usual practice. To address this urgent matter, this workshop brings engineering mechanics education experts and enthusiasts from R1 and R2 universities to discuss the future pathways to train and engage the next generation of engineering mechanics students. This workshop will serve as a forum to discuss the very definition of applied mechanics in the broader engineering curriculum and highlights potential pathways to reshape the boundaries of engineering mechanics in view of climate change and emerging data science technologies. The award will facilitate the workshop and conference participation of PhD students and postdocs with an emphasis on diversity, equity, and inclusion of underserved and underrepresented groups in STEM.The workshop consists of four modules including guest lectures, technology demonstration, virtual, and in-person round table discussions and brainstorming sessions. Module I will discuss the future of engineering mechanics education. Module II highlights the significance and best practices of leveraging pedagogical tools in engineering mechanics education. Module III presents emerging education technologies and accessibility issues surrounding the broader dissemination of engineering mechanics educational materials. Starting with shared experience and best practices, Module III culminates with the design of the engineering mechanics textbook of the future and the use of virtual reality to close the accessibility gap. This tour of modern pedagogy in engineering mechanics education will conclude in Module IV with a roundtable that will elucidate career opportunities. A key feature of the workshop is that it will be linked with the 2023 Engineering Mechanics Institute Conference, which will provide opportunities for the engineering mechanics educators to network and discuss their teaching practices with peers from academia, national laboratories, and industry, while also ensuring that workshop discussions and feedback will be directly relevant and accessible to participants from the community of engineering mechanics and civil infrastructure.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.

该奖项将支持一个工程机制教育研讨会，将于2023年6月6日至9日在佐治亚州佐治亚州佐治亚理工学院举行的2023工程机械学院会议上举行。工程机械师目前正处于十字路口，面临着与现代工具一起培训与现代工具的挑战，可与21ST Centials Engineers一起进行培训 - 在21St Cential-Engineers设备上进行培训。为了解决这一紧急情况，该研讨会带来了R1和R2大学的工程机械师教育专家和爱好者，讨论了培训和吸引下一代工程机械师学生的未来途径。该研讨会将作为一个论坛，讨论更广泛的工程课程中应用机械师的定义，并突出显示有关气候变化和新兴数据科学技术的潜在途径，以重塑工程力学的界限。该奖项将促进博士生和博士后的研讨会和会议参与，重点是STEM中的多样性，公平性，并包括服务不足和代表性不足的群体。该研讨会由四个模块组成，包括嘉宾讲座，技术演示，虚拟示范，虚拟桌面讨论和内式圆桌讨论和大脑式的讲座。模块我将讨论工程力学教育的未来。模块II强调了利用教学工具在工程力学教育中的重要性和最佳实践。模块III提出了新兴教育技术和可访问性问题，围绕更广泛的工程力学教育材料传播。从共享的经验和最佳实践开始，模块III最终以未来工程机制教科书的设计以及使用虚拟现实来缩小可访问性差距。这次在工程力学教育中的现代教育学之旅将在IV模块中结束，圆桌会议将阐明职业机会。研讨会的一个关键特征是，它将与2023年工程机制学院会议联系起来，该会议将为工程机械师教育者提供与学术界，国家实验室和行业的同伴网络和讨论他们的教学实践的机会，同时还可以确保工作室讨论和反馈与参与者的统计和反馈的奖励和反馈，并与参与者的统计和统计数据相关，并提供了工程学机制和公民的信息。使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的审查标准，通过评估被认为值得支持。
