Regional Implementation of Transferable Integrated Design Engineering Education

9973034 DavisThe这个项目的目标是综合和制度化的成果为基础的工程设计教育模式在整个地区，以实现所需的教育响应，学生转学，资源共享。华盛顿的五所大学和社区学院将领导整个太平洋西北地区的教育工作者和工业界的努力，为改善工程设计教育建立有效的程序。通过区域讲习班，他们将确定适合该地区的教育目标和成绩标准，完善和促进工程设计评估的实施，并为其他人实施有效的设计教育做法做好准备。由此改进设计教学将提高学生对该区域重要能力的学习，并将提高合格学生，特别是妇女和少数民族学生的保留率和成功率，该项目包括进行研究，以评价和改进设计评估和培训，以支持有效做法和材料的制度化。拟议的设计评估将通过两种方式进行测试：（a）通过对设计团队的行动、设计产品和设计观念进行比较分析，（B）通过将评估结果与校友/雇主调查的答复进行比较。将开发一个基于网络的调查，以获得校友/雇主的反馈，以评估区域范围内的计划成就。教师培训员将准备和协助领导当地讲习班仿照区域讲习班。这些研讨会将授权教师实施和继续改进设计教育材料，方法和评估，以满足当地的需求。区域设计教育模式将通过NSF资助的可转移综合设计工程教育（TTDEE）项目从华盛顿开发的资源中合成：- 工程设计教学和学习的合作学习模式-在中期和计划结束时工程设计学习成果的定义-试点-测试和建议的工具，中期计划和结束的计划设计评估-车间促进专业知识，以团队为基础的工程设计教育和评估-广泛的合作努力，在整个国家的工程设计教育-附属机构和组织在整个地区和国家的扩大影响

9973034DavisThe goal of this project is to synthesize and institutionalize an outcomes-based engineering design education model across a region to achieve desired educational responsiveness, student transfer, and resource sharing. Five universities and community colleges in Washington will lead efforts of educators and industry throughout the Pacific Northwest to establish effective processes for improving engineering design education. Through regional workshops, they will define educational objectives and achievement standards suitable for the region, refine and facilitate implementation of assessments for engineering design, and prepare others to implement effective design education practices. Resulting improvements to teaching of design will increase student, learning of competencies important to the region and will increase retention and success of qualified students, especially women and minorities.This project includes research to evaluate and improve design assessments and training to support institutionalization of effective practices and materials. Proposed design assessments will be tested in two ways: (a) through comparative analysis of design team actions, their design products, and their design perceptions and (b) through comparisons of assessment results to responses on alumni/employer surveys. A web-based survey will be developed to obtain alumni/employer feedback for assessment of program achievement on a regional scale. Faculty trainers will be prepared and assisted to lead local workshops patterned after regional workshops. These workshops will empower faculty to implement and continue improvement of design education materials, methods, and assessments for their local needs.The regional design education model will be synthesized from resources developed in Washington through the NSF-funded Transferable Integrated Design Engineering Education (TTDEE) project:- Proven TTIDEE collaborative learning models for teaching and learning of engineering design- Definitions of learning outcomes for engineering design at mid-program and end-of-program points- Pilot-tested and proposed instruments for mid-program and end-of-program design assessments- Workshop facilitation expertise for team-based engineering design education and assessment- Extensive collaborative efforts across the state on engineering design education- Affiliations with institutions and organizations across the region and nation for extended impact
