Developing a Modern Mechanical Engineering Curriculum

建议没有。项目名称：加州大学伯克利分校标题：构建现代机械工程课程摘要计算已被视为与理论、综合、实验和产品实现在工程工作场所以及前沿研究的推进中平等和不可或缺的合作伙伴。虽然计算机已经开始在工程教育中发挥作用，但它们的有效使用远远落后于它们的潜力。在这个建议中，我们寻求使用计算工具来提高毕业生设计，分析和实现复杂物理系统的能力，同时保留工程科学项目的优势。事实上，我们相信，通过在整个课程中适当地利用计算，学生毕业时可以比现在对该领域的基本概念有更丰富的理解。我们打算用计算作为桥梁，跨越理论和应用之间的传统鸿沟，展望未来。与我们的行业合作伙伴、学科专业协会和美国国家工程院的工程师2020计划合作，我们将把新兴学科的影响、工业实践的转型变化和预计的社会需求纳入我们的课程改革努力。

PROPOSAL NO.: 0230729PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR: Johnson, GeorgeINSTITUTION NAME: University of California-BerkeleyTITLE: Developing a Modern Mechanical Engineering CurriculumABSTRACTComputation is now regarded as an equal and indispensable partner with theory, synthesis, experimentation and product realization in the engineering workplace as well as in the advance of cutting-edge research. While computers have begun to play a role in engineering education, their effective use is far behind their potential. In this proposal we seek to use computational tools to improve the capacity of our graduates to design, analyze and realize complex physical systems, while retaining the strength of the program inthe engineering sciences. Indeed, we believe that through appropriate utilization of computation throughout the curriculum, students can graduate with a richer understanding of the fundamental concepts of the field than is possible now. We intend to use computation as a bridge across the traditional divide between theory and application with a view to the future. Working with our industry partners, disciplinary professional societies, and the National Academy of Engineering's Engineer 2020 initiative, we will consider the impactof new emerging disciplines, transformational changes in industrial practice and projected societal needs into our curricular reform efforts.
