More Than a Building: A Living Laboratory to Engage Students in the Computing and Engineering Sciences

工程-工程技术（58）该项目使用计算机和工程大楼作为动手实验室，创造性地让学生参与解决现实世界的问题。四个项目要素包括：1）创建一个只读界面的建设运行数据和一个互动网站，使教师，学生和更广泛的科学教育界的数据; 2）修改，教学和评估三个类使用的建设作为一个实验室，并纳入积极的，基于问题的和协作学习; 3）开展活动，利用建筑数据向来访的代表性不足的中学生传授能源使用知识，并在这些青年中培养对计算机科学、工程和物理的兴趣;及（4）向中学及大学工程教育界广泛传播教材、课程及知识。

Engineering-Engineering Technology (58) This project is using a Computer and Engineering Building as a hands-on laboratory that creatively engages students in real-world problem solving. The four project elements include: 1) creating a read-only interface to the building operating data and an interactive website that makes the data available to faculty, students, and the broader science education community; 2) revising, teaching, and assessing three classes using the building as a laboratory and incorporating active, problem-based and collaborative learning; 3) developing activities that use the building data to teach visiting underrepresented secondary students about the use of energy and creating an interest in computer science, engineering and physics among these youth; and, 4) disseminating materials, curriculum and knowledge broadly to the secondary and university-level engineering education community.
