Engineering Awareness for High School Teachers

9353395巴达尔该项目将提高俄亥俄州东北部高中教师的工程意识。项目活动在凯斯西储大学(CWRU)进行，参与项目的教师将有机会进入最先进的材料和工程实验室。他们将在八个不同的工程领域工作：计算机工程、材料工程、电气工程、机械土木工程、化学工程、生物医学工程和系统工程。这个为期三年的项目的主要组成部分包括：在每个学年为120名优秀教师举办两个周六的研讨会和一天的课程；为30名通勤教师提供为期两周、全天的暑期学校；为教师提供持续的支持并与CWRU的教职员工建立联系；以及要求学院参与者为其他教师、学生、家长、指导顾问和管理人员开展工程职业计划。工作坊的参与者将试验项目工具包，将“真实世界的工程问题”与课堂活动联系起来。教师还将就工程学的不同学科进行讨论和演示。其目的是，工程项目和设计的实践经验将为他们在教授课程时提供有用的内容和新的方法，并成为职业信息的资源。***

9353395 Badar This project will increase the engineering awareness of high school teachers from northeast Ohio. Project activities are done at Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) where participating teachers will have access to a state-of-the art materials and engineering laboratory. They will work in eight different areas of engineering: Computer Engineering, Materials Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Civil Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering and Systems Engineering. The major components of this three year project are: two-Saturday workshops and a one-day program during each academic year for 120 accomplished teachers; two-week, all-day summer institutes for 30 commuting teachers; sustained support and networking of teachers with CWRU faculty; and a requirement that institute participants conduct engineering career programs for other teachers, students, parents, guidance counselors and administrators. Workshop attendees will experiment with project kits, relating "real-world engineering problems" to classroom activities. Teachers will also engage in discussions and demonstrations of various disciplines in engineering. It is intended that the hands-on experience with engineering projects and design will provide content and new methods useful to them in teaching their courses plus becoming a resource for career information. ***
