Regional Faculty Workshops

彼得森工程与技术认证委员会-区域教师研讨会工程与技术认证委员会，公司（ABET）将开展一系列区域实践，工程教师研讨会，以促进教育创新和采用新的教育模式，给予教师信心，尝试大规模的课程创新，并知道精心设计的课程实验不会冒失去ABET认证的风险。《行动议程》描述了对一种新的工程教育范式的需求，通过这种模式，学生将获得除技术技能外的特征，如沟通技巧、团队合作能力，以及对工程解决方案在广泛的社会、环境、经济和道德背景下的影响的理解。问题是如何在课程、教学方式和教学成果方面激发和实施创新。在过去，由于对项目认证地位的感知风险，一直不愿实施大规模改革。ABET在实施《工程标准2000》的试点研究中发现，工程专业在确信自己的课程能够成功满足《工程标准2000》的要求之前，不会朝着《行动议程》中所描述的新教育范式迈出实质性的一步。工作坊的预期结果是，教师将获得信心和技能，以制定目标，评估计划和反馈机制，以满足EC2000的要求。由此，他们将能够实施课程和教学改革，并评估这些改革的成功。ABET将开发案例研究来协助院校，并为ABET项目评估人员提供培训材料。通过这些讲习班，将建立一个教师网络，协助交流关于评估和创新方面最佳做法的信息。该学院还将有机会加强与工业界的联系，并确定如何收集有关工程专业毕业生雇主不断变化的需求的信息。

98-12888 Peterson Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology - Regional Faculty Workshops The Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, Inc. (ABET) will conduct a series of regional, hands-on, engineering faculty workshops to facilitate educational innovation and adoption of new educational paradigms by giving faculty the confidence to try large-scale curricular innovations with the knowledge that well-designed program experimentation will not risk loss of ABET accreditation. The Action Agenda describes the need for a new engineering education paradigm whereby students will acquire characteristics, in addition to technical skills, such as communication skills, ability to work on teams, and an understanding of the impact of engineering solutions in a broad societal, environmental, economic, and ethical context. The problem is how to stimulate and implement innovation in curriculum and instructional delivery and outcomes. In the past, there has been reluctance to implement large-scale reforms due to the perceived risk to the accreditation status of the program. ABET found during the pilot-study for the implementation of Engineering Criteria 2000 that engineering programs will not take substantial steps towards a new educational paradigm as described in the Action Agenda until they are confident that their programs can successfully meet the requirements of EC2000. The expected results of the workshops are that faculty will acquire the confidence and skill to develop objectives, an assessment plan, and a feedback mechanism to meet the requirements of EC2000. From this, they will be able to implement curricular and instructional reform as well as assess the success of those reforms. ABET will develop case studies to assist the institutions and provide training materials for ABET program evaluators. From these workshops, an network of faculty will be developed, assisting in the exchange of information on best practices in assessment and innovation. The faculty will also have an opportunity to strengthen ties with industry and determine ways to gather information on the changing needs of the employers of engineering graduates.
