Engineering Coalition of Schools for Excellence in Educationand Leadership (ECSEL)

工程卓越教育与领导力学校联盟(ECSEL)将把重点放在以下三个主要计划领域：1.从设计中学习：这项任务包括三个主要组成部分：(I)面向高水平学生的以行业为导向的跨学科设计项目；(Ii)与行业联盟和专业协会合作开发的综合评估计划，以确定工程师和工程技术人员的实际知识和技能需求，并产生可信的课程设计标准；以及(Iii)形成新型的协作课程开发和传播环境。这些组件将与扩展、增强和进一步验证以设计为中心的ECSEL体验的持续努力相结合。2.我们在K-14社区中的作用：将启动一项全面的方案，以打破阻碍将工程和技术融入K-14课程的障碍，同时阻止将有才华的青年注入工程和技术劳动力。工程师、教师、专业协会、工会和K-14教育工作者将共同努力，创建新的机制，以便：(I)教师与工程师一起学习设计；(Ii)为工程师提供成为教师的途径；(Iii)在工程和工程技术课程之间打开大门；以及(Iv)在丰富多样的社区大学环境中提供ECSEL创新。3.学生和教师发展：ECSEL在建设学生和教师成为有效改革推动者所需的基础设施和人力支持网络方面的工作将得到各种机制的支持和扩大，包括：(I)在所有ECSEL活动中分担责任和领导，继续并加强我们学生的领导作用；(Ii)创建新的计划，以吸引和留住工程学教授中代表性不足的群体；以及(Iii)为新老教师提供交流、研讨会和计划，以促进ECSEL通过设计学习的主题。该联盟的七个成员是：纽约城市学院霍华德大学麻省理工学院摩根州立大学宾夕法尼亚州立大学马里兰大学华盛顿帕克学院？？

ABSTRACT The Engineering Coalition of Schools for Excellence in Education and Leadership (ECSEL) will focus on the following which are grouped into the three major programmatic areas: 1. Learning by Design: This task has three main components: (i)Industry-driven, interdisciplinary design projects for upper-level students; (ii) a comprehensive assessment program developed in partnership with industrial allies and professional associations to identify actual knowledge and skill needs of engineers and engineer technicians, and yielding authentic curricular design criteria and (iii) the formation of a new type of collaborative curriculum development and dissemination environment. These components wil be combined with ongoing efforts to expand, enhance, and further validate the design-centered ECSEL experience. 2. Our Role in the K-14 Community: A comprehensive program will be launched to break down the barriers that prevent the infusion of engineering and technology into K-14 curricula, while simutaneously preventing the infusion of talented youth into the engineering and technical workforce. Engineers, teachers, professional societies, unions, and K-14 educators will work together to create new mechanisms whereby: (i) teachers learn to design alongside engineers; (ii) engineers are provided pathways to become teachers; (iii) doors are opened between engineering and engineering technology programs; and (iv) ECSEL innovations are made available within the richly diverse community college environment. 3. Student and Faculty Development: ECSEL's work in building the infrastructure and human support networks necessary for students and faculty to become effective agents of reform will be bolstered and broadened by a variety of mechanisms, including (i) shared responsibility and leadership in all ECSEL activities, with continued and enhanced leadership roles for our students; (ii) creation of new programs to attract and retain underrepresented groups in the engineering professoriate; and (iii ) exchanges, workshops, and programs for new and veteran faculty to promote ECSEL's theme of learning by design. The seven members of this Coalition are: City College of New York Howard University Massachusetts Institute of Technology Morgan State University Pennsylvania State University University of Maryland, College Park University of Washington ??
