Collaborative Research:Civil & Environmental Engineering Education (CEEE) Transformational Change Tools and Strategies for Sustainability Integration and Assessment in Engineer

工程-土木（54）本项目由加州州立理工大学、密歇根理工大学和耶鲁大学合作完成。它通过创建有效的学习材料和教学策略，使工程学院能够将可持续发展方法纳入他们的课程，努力将可持续性融入工程教育。他们正在开发自己的教育设计和评估工具，以测试芬克的重要学习分类法和相应的评估方法的价值。该项目的关键要素包括环境工程教材、科学和工程学科的可持续性适应性课程模块、以团队为基础的开放式大学间项目的工程课程、传播这些创新教学实践的教师研讨会，以及一项评估研究，包括开发新的评估工具来衡量这些方法的有效性。虽然课程是专门针对土木和环境工程社区，它可以推广到其他工程项目。他们将出版自己的教科书，推广自己的教学模块，并就自己的材料和教学策略举办几次教师讲习班，以此来传播自己的材料和成果。在评估他们的项目时，他们使用各种现有的和新的评估工具来确定他们的新材料和策略对学生学习和记忆的影响。更广泛的影响包括主要通过其教科书和讲习班传播材料，以及提高工程毕业生对可持续性问题的认识。

Engineering - Civil (54)This project is collaboration among California Polytechnic State University, Michigan Technological University, and Yale University. It is working to integrate sustainability into engineering education by creating effective learning materials and teaching strategies that enable engineering faculty to incorporate sustainability approaches into their courses. They are working to test the value of Fink's significant learning taxonomy and the accompanying assessment methodology as they develop their educational design and assessment tools. The key elements of this project include a textbook in environmental engineering, adaptable course modules on sustainability for science and engineering disciplines, engineering courses with team-based, open-ended, inter-university projects, faculty workshops to disseminate these innovative teaching and learning practices, and an assessment study including the development of new assessment tools to measure the effectiveness of these approaches. Although the curriculum is specifically targeted at the civil and environmental engineering community, it can be generalized to other engineering programs. They will be disseminating their material and results by publishing their textbook, by promoting their instructional modules, and by providing several faculty workshops on their material and instructional strategies. In evaluating their project, they are using an assortment of existing and new assessment tools to determine the effect of their new materials and strategies on student learning and retention. Broader impacts include the dissemination of the material, primarily through their textbook and workshops, and the increased awareness of engineering graduates to sustainability issues.
