Transferable Integrated Design Engineering Education

该项目的目标是为不同类型的学生提供灵活、一致的入门工程设计教育，这些学生遵循单一机构或转学途径获得工程学士学位。该项目将大学与社区学院联系起来，根据认证的需要，提供“贯穿整个课程”的设计教育。项目目标是：*在不同机构、课程和学生的环境中为明确、可转移的入门设计教育建立课程结构；*制作可移植的课程材料和教学方法，以支持在转移环境中有效的“综合”工程设计教育；*使各种机构的教职员工能够采用、实施和评估适合其计划和学生的示范材料和方法；以及*在早期工程设计课程中增加招生和留住学生，特别是女性、少数族裔和残疾人。课程材料的开发是为了满足入门设计的学习目标，适应不同的机构，并为具有不同背景和兴趣的学生服务。教师研讨会传递这些学习目标和在不同环境中实现这些目标的策略，并使教师准备好采用材料和方法，以便在不同学生群体的课堂上使用。示范课程材料被打包以供分发。

The goal of this project is flexible, consistent introductory engineering design education for a diverse pool of students who follow single-institution or transfer paths to their baccalaureate engineering degrees. The project links universities to community colleges to produce design education that is "integrated throughout the curriculum" as needed for accreditation. Project objectives are: * Establish a curricular structure for well-defined, transferable introductory design education in an environment of diverse institutions, curricula, and students; * Produce transportable curricular materials and instructional methods that support effective "integrated" engineering design education in transfer environments; * Enable faculty at a variety of institutions to adopt, implement, and evaluate exemplary materials and methods suitable for their programs and their students; and * Achieve increased enrollment and retention of students, especially women, minorities, and disabled, in early engineering design courses. Curriculum materials are developed to meet learning objectives for introductory design, to fit a variety of institutions, and to serve students with diverse backgrounds and interests. Faculty workshops transfer these learning objectives and strategies for achieving them in a variety of settings, and they prepare faculty to adopt materials and methods to use in classes with diverse student populations. Exemplary curricular materials are packaged for distribution.
