A Non-traditional Classroom for Engineering Materials Instruction Integrated with Teacher Preparation Activities

在教育学院和 在工程学院，各种技术将被测试 在基础和必修课程，材料选择，（教 由PI之一），让学生更深入地参与 学习过程 将使用的技术包括： 录像带学习与教师和助教作为促进者， 学生项目和互动式的苏格拉底式课堂 环境 自然主义评估技术将是 由教育学院监督。学生准备 成为科学教师也将参与该项目 作为工程课程的参与者和后来的助手。 他们还将参与正在进行的研究项目， 材料工程，并将参与研究 活动

In a cooperative effort between the College of Education and the College of Engineering, various techniques will be tested in the basic and required course, Materials Selection, (taught by one of the PI's) to involve students more intensely in the learning process. Among the techniques that will be used are: video tapes study with faculty and TA's as facilitators, student projects, and an interactive socratic-type classroom environment. Naturalistic evaluation techniques will be supervised by the College of Education. Students preparing to become teachers of science will also be involved in the project as participants and later assistants in the engineering course. They will also be affiliated with ongoing research projects in materials engineering and will participate in the research activities.
