Workshop on Video Games in Engineering and Computer Science Education

该项目正在支持一个研讨会，探讨在工程和计算机科学教育中使用游戏和基于游戏的解决方案所带来的机遇和挑战。它解决了评估这些学科中电子游戏使用现状和确定未来研究方向的关键需求。讲习班汇集了来自工程、计算机科学、科学和教学设计领域的25名参与者，他们对在教育中使用游戏和相关技术有着共同的兴趣。该研讨会致力于确定教育工作者和研究人员在设计、开发、实施和评估游戏以及在工程和计算机科学教育中基于游戏的解决方案时所面临的挑战。调查人员正在一个网站上发布研讨会材料，并准备发表会议报告和一篇评论文章。

The project is supporting a workshop to explore the opportunities and challenges that are presented by the use of games and game-based solutions in engineering and computer science education. It addresses a critical need to assess the current state of video game use in these disciplines and identify future research directions. The workshop is bringing together a diverse group of twenty-five participants from engineering, computer science, science and instructional design who share a common interest in the use of games and related technologies in education. The workshop is working to identify challenges facing educators and researchers when it comes to the design, development, implementation, and assessment of games and game-based solutions in engineering and computer science education. The investigators are posting workshop materials on a website and preparing conference presentations and a review article for publication.
