Workshop: Mudd Design Workshop on Innovation and Entrepreneurship May 2011

这一工程教育研究奖的颁发是为了支持更广泛地参与推进工程设计教育的MUD设计研讨会系列。发放旅行补贴是为了让代表人数不足的群体或在少数族裔服务机构服务的教师参与，并将就改变设计教学方式的设计研讨会的有效性进行研究。通过扩大对工作坊的参与，工程设计教育界可能会更有能力开发工程设计课程，以便对更广泛的学校和学生更有效。我们所依赖的大部分技术基础设施都是由工程师设计的。设计是培养未来工程师的关键要素；设计新产品、服务和流程的能力是向创新驱动的经济转型所急需的关键工程技能。MUD设计工作坊将设计教育从业者聚集在一起，建立网络，分享最佳实践，并分享向工程专业学生教授设计实践的进展。这个奖项将有助于了解这个系列工作坊在推动设计教育方面所发挥的影响，以及扩大对更广泛的学生的参与。

This engineering education research award is given to support broadening participation in the Mudd Design Workshop series that advances engineering design education. Travel supplements are awarded to allow participation by faculty from under-represented groups or who serve at minority serving institutions, and research on the effectiveness of design workshops on changing how design is taught will be conducted. By broadening participation in the workshops, the engineering design education community may become more able to develop engineering design courses to be more effective to a broader range of schools and students. Much of the technical infrastructure on which we depend has been designed by engineers. Design is a critical element of educating future engineers; the ability to design new products, services, and processes is a key engineering skill that is much needed to move to an innovation-driven economy. The Mudd Design Workshops have brought together design education practitioners to network, share best practices, and share advances in teaching design practices to engineering students. This award will help to understand the impact this workshop series has played in driving design education, as well as broaden participation to a wider range of students.
