Adapting Multimedia Instructional Materials to Communicate Engineering and Information Technology Issues to Business Students

计算机科学(31)这个项目涉及最初为本科工程课程设计的多媒体案例研究的改编，以及它们在商业入门课程中的实施。最初的案例研究是由奥本大学的LITEE小组开发的，这是一个由NSF支持的项目。该活动的智力价值在于，将有案例研究，为商科学生提供与工程和IT概念相关的知识和技能，并为他们在工作场所做好更好的准备。评估计划使用定性和定量的工具来评估学生的学习。在更广泛的影响下，结果应该引起其他机构的兴趣，并将通过网络、讲习班、期刊和会议进行传播。此外，预计随着商科学生从这个项目中获得技术知识，行业中管理人员和技术人员之间的互动将会得到改善。

Computer Science (31) This project involves the adaptation of multimedia case studies originally designed for undergraduate engineering classes and their implementation in introductory business classes. The original case studies were developed by the LITEE Group, an NSF-supported project, at Auburn University. The intellectual merit of the activity is that there will be case studies that will provide business students with knowledge and skills related to engineering and IT concepts and better prepare them for the workplace. The evaluation plan utilizes qualitative and quantitative instruments to assess student learning. Under broader impact, the results should be of interest to other institutions and will be disseminated through the Web, workshops, journals, and conferences. Also, it is expected that, with the technical knowledge that business students gain from this project, there will be improved interaction between management and technical personnel in industry.
