NSF Action Agenda for Systemic Eng Ed Reform: Expanding the National Engineering Education Delivery System as the Foundation for an On-Line Engineering Education Community

加州大学伯克利分校拓展全国工程教育交付系统作为在线工程教育社区的基础在过去的四年里，通过万维网（WWW）带来了互联网和全球网络通信的爆炸式增长。以互联网为媒介的新方法正在加速从以教师为中心的授课模式向以学习者为中心的技术增强学习模式的转变，这种模式允许学生更多地控制学习过程，教授和讲师充当导师和向导。教学技术既可以通过课件、课程网站等实现，也可以增强这些新的学习模式。全国和世界各地的工程教育工作者都在开发这些材料来支持他们的课程。两份重要的国家科学基金会报告敦促通过提供高质量的课件和传播成功的教育实践，形成一个国家资源来解决这些问题。这个系统现在可以在国家工程教育交付系统（NEEDS）中找到。需要支持一个编目、索引、搜索、存档、下载和审查工程教育课件的基础设施。在过去的四年中，需要在开发国家工程课件资源方面积累了经验和知识。该项目将：1；保持需求作为工程教育社区的服务，扩大编目工作和观众到所有美国工程学院。继续成长和发展需要作为一个在线工程教育社区的基础-增加评论，反馈给作者的传播和使用，讨论工具，并改进索引工程教育。3. 拓展评审评价服务，提高工程教育课件质量。4. 作为一个桥梁，发展一个更广泛的计划，以支持整个科学，数学，工程和技术教育（SMETE）社区。

University of California Berkeley Expanding the National Engineering Education Delivery System as the Foundation for an On-line Engineering Education Community The last four years have brought the explosion of the Internet and world-wide networked communications through the World Wide Web (WWW). New Internet-mediated methodologies are accelerating the paradigm shift from a teacher-centric, lecture model of instruction to a learner-centric, technology-enhanced learning model that allows the student to control more of the learning process, with professors and instructors serving as mentors and guides. Instructional technology can both enable end enhance these new modes of learning - via courseware, course Web sites, etc. Engineering educators aroung the country and around the world are all developing these materials to support their courses. Two key NSF reports urge the formation of a national resource to address these concerns by providing access to quality courseware and to disseminate successful educational practices. This system is available today in the National Engineering Education Delivery System (NEEDS). NEEDS supports an infrastructure that catalogs, indexes, searches, archives, downloads and reviews engineering education courseware. Over the last four years NEEDS has gained experience and knowledge in developing a national resource of engineering courseware. The project will: 1. Maintain NEEDS as a service to the engineering education community, expanding cataloging efforts and viewership to all U.S. Colleges of Engineering. 2. Continue to grow and evolve NEEDS as the foundation for an on-line engineering education community - adding reviews, feedback to authors on dissemination and use, discussion tools, and improved indexing for engineering education. 3. Expand review and evaluation services to improve the quality of engineering education courseware. 4. Serve as a bridge towards the development of a broader program to support the Science, Mathematics, Engineeri ng, and Technology Education (SMETE) community as a whole.
