High School Project Engineering

高中项目工程是一种创新的方法，以提高 中学生的科技素养。 它旨在通过参与解决方案来激励学生 实际的工程问题。 学生们在现实的团队工作， 相关问题。 的 过程从指令阶段开始， 一个工程师，无论是在人或录像带，提供背景 信息. 接下来，学生们将进入设计阶段，在这个阶段中， 工程方面的探索和应用到特定的 问题. 这些小组在项目合同的约束下工作， 发展领导和合作团队技能以及知识 工程概念和实践。 每个项目都产生一个设计 文档、项目废料簿和成品或过程。 1984年开始与NSF的支持，项目工程已经开发了五个 录像带节目，学生工程手册，教师指南， 和其他各种资源。 目前，该项目将 制作12个额外的录像带，修改和改进其他录像带， 材料，在其他地点测试该方法，并完成 在全国推广该方法的机制。

High School PROJECT ENGINEERING is an innovative approach to improving the scientific and technological literacy of secondary school students. It is designed to motivate students through involvement in the solution of actual engineering problems. Students work in teams on realistic and relevant problems. The process begins with an instruction phase in which an engineer, either in person or on videotape, provides background information. Next the students embark on a design phase, in which many aspects of engineering are explored and applied to the particular problem. The teams work within the constraints of project contracts, developing leadership and cooperative team skills as well as knowledge of engineering concepts and practices. Each project produces a design document, a project scrap book, and a finished product or process. Begun with NSF support in 1984, PROJECT ENGINEERING has developed five videotape programs, a student engineering handbook, a teacher's guide, and various other resources. With the current grant the Project will produce twelve additional videotapes, revise and improve the other materials, test the method at additional sites, and complete the mechanism for disseminating the method nationally.
