Information Technology in the Integrated Civil Engineering Curriculum

建议没有。[0228099]主要研究者：Grigg， neil机构名称：科罗拉多州立大学标题：土木工程综合课程中的信息技术摘要本提案旨在规划将下一代信息技术整合到院系层面的土木工程课程。其基本原理是土木工程师在基础设施和环境系统中发挥主导作用，信息技术的力量可以用于设计，施工和运营，以缓解交通拥堵，基础设施完整性，施工生产力，环境监测，系统安全性和其他民间社会部门的问题。要应对这个快速变化的领域，需要对课程进行新的思考。旧的课程组织由松散联系的科目组成，将无法提供在民间社会各部门扩大信息技术应用所需的整合。二十一世纪的问题需要整合新技术和新方法来组织工程工作，由信息技术塑造。早期信息技术在工程教育中的应用主要集中在计算机程序设计上，但从事程序设计的土木工程师很少。大多数人使用软件将广泛的技术应用于具有高度分散的空间、技术和社会维度的问题。教土木工程师如何应用软件背后的方法是科罗拉多州立大学综合课程的主要目标。

PROPOSAL NO.: 0228099PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR: Grigg, NeilINSTITUTION NAME: Colorado State UniversityTITLE: Information technology in the integrated civil engineering curriculumAbstractThe proposal is to plan for integration of next generation information technology into the civil engineering curriculum at the department level. The rationale is that civil engineers have lead roles in infrastructure and environmental systems, and the power of information technology can be used in design, construction, and operations to relieve problems of traffic congestion, infrastructure integrity, construction productivity, environmental monitoring, systems security and other sectors of civil society. To address this rapidly changing field requires new thinking about the curriculum. Old curriculum organization, consisting of loosely connected subjects, will not provide the integration needed for expanding applications of information technology across civil society sectors. Twenty-first century problems require integration of new technologies and new approaches to the organization of engineering work, shaped by information technology. Early application of information technology in engineering education focused on computer programming, but only a few civil engineers engage in much programming. Most use software to apply wide bands of technology to problems with highly dispersed spatial, technological, and social dimensions. Teaching civil engineers how to apply the methods that underlie the software is a main goal of the integrated curriculum at Colorado State.
