Workshop: Creating and Sustaining Dialogs on Conceptual Change in Engineering Education

虽然有很多关于工程教育需要改变什么以及这些改变应该如何发生的讨论，但目前还没有场所来维持关于改变的有意义的对话，并将这些讨论存档，以造福于整个工程界。拟议的讲习班将有助于增进对工程学教育目的的了解和理解，并就如何重新确定工程学教育的概念以造福于所有参与者展开一场见多识广的持久对话。面对高等教育和工作场所正在发生的重大破坏，需要持续和知情的对话来创造变化。为了维持所需的持续对话，这些研讨会围绕美国工程教育学会(ASEE)的组织结构展开。这一努力的一个主要目标是确保广泛和多样化的参与。ASEE三个部门的领导将协调研讨会。讲习班和重要的传播工作将通过在工程教育领域的多个利益攸关方之间建立学术和可持续的对话而广泛影响社会。这些研讨会旨在开辟一个新的对话场所，以捕捉更广泛的声音。该项目计划包括更大的工程教育系统所需的各种要素的参与。该计划为长期、可持续的传播提供资源，预计将以自给自足的对话和讨论期刊的形式进行。

While there is much discussion on what needs to be changed in engineering education and how those changes should take place, there is no current venue for sustaining a meaningful dialog on change and archiving these discussions for the benefit of the entire engineering community. The proposed workshops will help to advance knowledge and understanding about the purposes of engineering education and begin a well-informed and lasting dialog on possible ways to reconceptualize engineering education for the benefit of all participants. Sustained and informed dialog is needed to created change in the face of the major disruptions taking place in higher education and the workplace. To sustain the needed on-going dialog, these workshops are framed around the organizational structure of the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE). A major goal of this effort is to ensure broad and diverse participation. The leaders of three ASEE divisions will coordinate the workshop. The workshops and significant dissemination effort will broadly impact society by creating a scholarly and sustainable dialog between multiple stakeholders in engineering education. The workshops are intended to open up a new venue for dialog that captures a broader range of voices. The project plan includes participation of the needed diverse elements of the larger engineering education system. The plan provides resources for long-term, sustainable dissemination anticipated to be in the form of a self-sustaining dialog and discussion journal.
