Cross-college Collaboration of Engineering with Languages, Education, and Design

根据与相关技术设备相关的“阅读-使用-组装-计算-教学”流程，由7名非工程教师、1名教育顾问和1名工程首席研究员参与了8门不同的课程。以学生为导向的教学模式包含了师生之间的联系、学生之间的合作和主动学习，提供及时的反馈，强调按时完成任务，传达高期望，尊重不同的才能和学习方式。通过将适当的设备与具有可观技术内容的非工程课程相匹配，跨学院教员合作被用于共同教学或补充人文与社会科学学院（CHASS）、教育学院（CED）和设计学院（COD）的现有课程。这种跨学院合作的有效性通过服务不同的学生来证明，包括(i)学习外语课程的工程和理科学生，（ii）寻求教学学位的职前技术教育学生，（iii） 6-12年级的在职、实习技术教育教师，以及（iv）工业设计专业的学生。对这些合作教学成果的评估包括学生问卷调查，独立实验室观察员，以及参与的教师和学生样本的访谈。传播是通过在语言教师、技术教育教师、工业设计专业人员和工程师的专业协会会议上的演讲和出版物来完成的。最后的项目产品将是一张包含所有实验室设备章节的光盘，以及所有关于这项工作的出版物和评价。产品CD分发正在分发给美国工程学院院长和工程学院参与本科实验室教学。

Eight different courses involving seven non-engineering faculty, an education consultant, and the engineering Principal Investigator are being taught based on the READ-USE-ASSEMBLE-CALCULATE-TEACH process related to relevant technological devices. The student-driven sequence incorporates student-faculty contact, cooperation among students, and active learning, gives prompt feedback, emphasizes time-on-task, communicates high expectations, and respects diverse talents and ways of learning.By matching appropriate devices to non-engineering courses with appreciable technical content, cross-college faculty collaborations are being used for co-teaching of or supplementation to existing courses in the College of Humanities and Social Sciences (CHASS), the College of Education (CED), and the College of Design (COD). The efficacy of this cross college collaboration is being demonstrated by serving a diversity of students including (i) engineering and science students in foreign language courses, (ii) pre-service technology education students seeking teaching degrees, (iii) in-service, practicing teachers of technology education in grades 6-12, and (iv) industrial design majors.Evaluation of these collaborative instruction efforts includes student questionnaires, independent laboratory observers, and interviews of participating faculty and a sample of students. Dissemination is being accomplished through presentations and publications in professional society meetings of language instructors, technology education teachers, industrial design professionals, and engineers. The final project product will be a compact disc (CD) containing all lab device chapters, as well as all publications and evaluations for this effort. The product CD distribution is being distributed to US engineering deans and engineering faculty involved in undergraduate laboratory instruction.
