Enhancing Learning in Electronics Engineering Technology

工程-工程技术（58）瓦伦西亚社区学院正在其电子工程技术副学位课程中开发新的机器人和模拟专业的课程作业。 新的专业化正在将其他机构模式的最佳做法纳入课程和教学，同时满足当地行业的需求。 现场访问提供有关教科书和实验室手册中使用的专业课程，课程大纲，设备和设备维护，设施改造房屋设备，实验室安全实践，评估实践，预期的能力，招生，教师培训资源和课程安排的信息。 一名独立评估员和该项目业务咨询委员会的代表正在提供持续的反馈，以实现该项目的最大效益。PI和Co-PI正在将关于衡量学习成果和学习风格多样性的研究与最佳课程实践的例子相结合，以加强瓦伦西亚代表性不足的少数民族和经济弱势学生群体的学习。 项目活动包括：（1）确定旨在帮助学生发展积极参与学术工作所需的技能、性格和知识的具体评估实践;（2）设定并保持现实的高期望和目标;（3）寻求并找到与他们所学内容的联系和实际应用;（4）理解和重视评估和评价他们的标准，标准和方法;（5）定期和富有成效地与学术人员和学生合作，帮助学生取得高质量的学业成绩。

Engineering-Engineering Technology (58) Valencia Community College is developing coursework for a new Robotics and Simulation specialization within its Electronics Engineering Technology Associate Degree program. The new specialization is incorporating best practices in curriculum and instruction from other institutional models while addressing local industry needs. Site visits are providing information about textbooks and laboratory manuals to be used in the specialization courses, course syllabi, equipment and equipment maintenance, facility modifications to house equipment, lab safety practices, assessment practices, expected competencies, enrollment, faculty training resources, and course scheduling. An independent evaluator and representatives from the program's business advisory committee are providing continuous feedback to achieve maximum effectiveness of the project. The PI and Co-PIs are integrating research on measuring learning outcomes and diversity of learning styles with examples of best curriculum practices to enhance learning among Valencia's underrepresented significantly-minority and economically disadvantaged student population. Project activities include (1) identification of specific assessment practices that are designed to help students develop the skills, dispositions, and knowledge needed to be actively engaged in their academic work; (2) set and maintain realistically high expectations and goals; (3) seek and find connections to and real-world applications of what they're learning; (4) understand and value the criteria, standards, and methods by which they are assessed and evaluated; and (5) work regularly and productively with academic staff and students to help students attain a high quality academic performance.
