Planning for Information Technology and Integrated Design Throughout the Civil Engineering Curriculum at the City College of New York

规划补助金用于纽约城市学院土木工程本科课程的改革。目标是推进信息技术工具的应用，并采用促进土木工程多学科性质的教育方法。我们的目标是教育新一代的土木工程师能够适应该领域的变化，并能够应用系统的方法来解决复杂的问题。改革后的CE计划将围绕一个共同的基于网络的大型CE项目，将被用作一个平台，每个课程将提取相关的主题，小规模的设计任务。改革进程第一阶段的主要工作包括：a）计划安装一个网上电脑平台，以应用资讯科技驱动的作业; B）发展一个共同的主要计划，以配合在每一个持续教育课程中应用多学科作业;以及c）发展一个成果评估计划。

The planning grant is to reform the Civil Engineering undergraduate curriculum at the City College of New York. The objective is to advance the application of Information Technology tools and adopt educational methods that promote the multi-disciplinary nature of civil engineering. The goal is to educate a new generation of civil engineers capable of adapting to the changes in the field and able to apply systems approaches for solving complex problems. The reformed CE program will be modeled around a common web-based large scale CE project that will be used as a platform from which each course will extract pertinent topics for small-scale design assignments. The primary tasks to be undertaken in this first phase of the reform process will involve: a) Plan the installation of a web-based computer platform for the application of IT driven tasks, b) Develop a common main project which will be used to synchronize the application of multi-disciplinary assignments in every CE course, and c) Develop an outcome assessment plan.
