Undergraduate Engineering Education Enhancement via Parallel Participation in the Visual & Performing Arts

这个项目开发本科工程途径，其中包括视觉和表演艺术。 对于在工程学和视觉表演艺术两方面都有一定天赋的学生&&，我们会创造一个有利这两个领域发展的环境，这肯定会提高工程学部分的教育过程和学生的学业成绩。此外，工程学学生将从&以下两个方面的视觉表演艺术课程中受益：1）发展与创意有关的技能（超过传统工程专业学生通常达到的水平）; 2）压力管理。通过提供这样一个双重课程，将建立一个网站和传单，内容包括：a）“为什么学生应该关心&VPA; B）VPA为工程专业学生提供的机会&; 3）学生it成功案例”。将探讨这些对初中和高中学生和教师的影响。 将调查这样一个计划对初中和高中学生以及教师对工程的态度的潜在影响。将在以下V PA领域创建本科证书：舞蹈，戏剧，音乐和艺术。

This project develop undergraduate engineering pathways which include the visual and performing arts. For students with definite talents in both engineering and the visual & performing arts (V&PAs), an environment will be created that is supportive of the development of both areas will definitely enhance the educational process and student academic performance of the engineering component.Furthermore, engineering students will benefit from participation in the V&PAs terms of two areas: 1) development of creativity-related skills (beyond that typically achieved by traditional engineering students); and 2) stress management.Perception of engineering as a possible academic major will be enhanced by the offering of such a dual program, leading to additional engineering student recruitment.A web site and flyer will be created that contains: a)"Why students should care about the V&PAs; b) opportunities for engineering students in the V&PAs; and 3) examples of student it success stories". The impact of these on middle and high school students and teachers will be explored. The potential impact of such a program on middle and high school students and teachers attitudes towards engineering will be investigated.Undergraduate Certificates will be created in the following V&PA areas: dance, theater, music, and art..
