Undergraduate Faculty Enhancement Workshop: Introductory Engineering Design, Engineering Design Graphics (EDG), and Technical Graphics (TG) Problem Solving

拟议项目的主要目标是大大提高美国入门级设计、工程设计图形学（EDG）和技术图形学（TG）课程的质量。在社区学院、技术学院和大学任教的教师是目标人群。他们的学生将受益于项目期间开发的内容和过程。该项目将促进对存在于大学/学院/技术学院水平的入门级（大一/大二）设计、EDG和TG课程中的工程设计过程的更好理解。该项目将通过为期五天的国家级研讨会，将教育界和工业界的领导者聚集在一起，共同关注和承担入门设计的责任。研讨会参与者将制定策略和课程材料，适合将设计过程融入入门级课程。教师参与者将从社区学院、技术学院和大学中抽取。将编写一份载有讲习班成果的专著并在全国分发。二十五（25）名教师参与者和至少五(5)名顾问将直接参与1800本专题论文（每本150页）的准备工作，这些论文将被分发并由教师使用，影响至少100,000名本科生和1500名大学预科学生。

The principle objective of the proposed project is to greatly improve the quality of entry level design, Engineeering Design graphics (EDG), and Technical Graphics (TG) courses throughout the United sttes. Faculty members teaching at community colleges, technical institutes, and universities are the target population. Their students will benefit from the content and process developed during the project. The project will initiate greater understanding about the engineering design process that exists in university/college/technical institute level introductory beginning level (freshman/sophore) design, EDG and TG classes. The project will bring together educational and industrial leaders with concerns and responsibilities for introductory design via a national level five day long workshop. The workshop participants will develop strategies and curriculum materials suitable for infusing the design process into introductory level courses. Faculty participants will be drawn from community college, technical institute, and university ranks. A monograph containing the workshop outcomes will be developed and disseminated nationally. Twenty-five(25) faculty participants and a minimum of five(5) consultants will be directly involved in the preparation of 1800 monographs copies (150) pages each) which will be disseminated and used by faculty to affect at least 100,000 undergraduate and 1500 pre-college students.
