Partnerships to Enhance Engineering Education in K-16

建议编号：0230624 PRINCIPAL调查员：Ebert，Christine研究名称：南卡罗来纳大学研究基金会TITLE：加强K-16年级工程教育的合作伙伴关系这项工程教育规划赠款将制定一项全面的计划，以提高工程学教师的教学技能，包括他们评估学生学习目标成就的能力；增加K-12教育中的工程学内容；以及增加职前教师教育中的工程学内容。规划过程中提出的活动是建立在增加教育学院和工程和信息技术学院教员之间互惠伙伴关系的基础上的。PIS还将亲自演示和记录教育学发展战略的有效性，这些战略为教育教师所知，但不为工程教师所知。作为制定全面和综合计划以加强K-16年级工程教育的载体，国家批准的工程教育卓越中心将被激活。核心战略是确定和支持工程和信息技术学院与南卡罗来纳大学教育学院之间的合作伙伴关系。通过合作，应用他们独特的专业知识来解决K-12教育改进的共同利益，他们相互学习，并能够在各自的学科中直接应用他们的新知识。该项目基于合作学习技术。通过支持好的人在好的项目上合作，伙伴关系的每个成员都将更好地意识到对方可以提供什么。这是互惠互利和持久关系的基石。

PROPOSAL NO.: 0230624PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR: Ebert, ChristineINSTITUTION NAME: University South Carolina Research FoundationTITLE: Partnerships to Enhance Engineering Education in K-16ABSTRACT This Bridges for Engineering Education planning grant will develop a comprehensive program to: improve the pedagogical skills of engineering faculty, including their ability to assess student achievement of learning objectives; increase the engineering content in K-12 education; and increase the engineering content in pre-service teacher education. The activities proposed during the planning process are built upon a foundation that increases the number of mutually beneficial partnerships between faculty members in the College of Education and the College of Engineering and Information Technology. The PIs will also personally demonstrate and document the effectiveness of pedagogy-development strategies that are known to education faculty but not to engineering faculty. As a vehicle for developing a comprehensive and integrated program to enhance engineering education in grades K-16, the state-approved Center for Engineering Education Excellence will be activated. The core strategy is to identify and support partnerships between faculty in the College of Engineering and Information Technology and the College of Education at the University of South Carolina. By partnering together to apply their unique expertise to address the common interest of K-12 education improvement, they have learned from each other and are able to directly apply their new knowledge in their separate disciplines. This program is based on cooperative learning techniques. By supporting good people to work together on good projects, each member of the partnership will have a greater awareness of what the other has to offer. This is the cornerstone of a mutually beneficial and long-lasting relationship.
