Courses and Capabilities for Asynchronous Learning in Engineering

工程教育正在经历从工业时代到信息时代的根本性转变。该项目正在开发创新的项目，以支持学生在工程项目的头两年的发展和指导。已开发了涵盖基于微积分的物理的工程核心、具有实验室经验以及静力学和动力学的异步学习(ASL)课程；这些课程现在正在得到改进，以满足学生首选的学习方式，并包括培养学生自我指导学习(SDL)能力的培训模块。与两年制大学工程科学项目的合作是传播的第一阶段，最终将在全国范围内传播。形成性和终结性评价将被纳入课程，强调以学习者为中心的自我评价、同伴评价和团队评价工具。课程和自学单元的商业出版也在探索之中。

Engineering - Other (59) Engineering education is undergoing a fundamental transformation from the Industrial Age to the Information Age. This project is developing innovative programs to support student development and instruction in the first two years of an engineering program. Asynchronous Learning (ASL) courses covering an engineering core of calculus-based physics with laboratory experiences and statics and dynamics have been developed; these courses are now being enhanced to address students' preferred learning styles and to include training modules for developing students' self directed learning (SDL) capabilities. Collaboration with engineering science programs at two-year colleges is providing the first stage of dissemination, with eventual dissemination nationwide. Formative and summative evaluation will be built into the courses, with an emphasis on learner-centered evaluation tools for self, peer, and team evaluations. Commercial publication of the courses and self-directed learning modules is also being explored.
