Workshop: Third National Energy Education Summit: Engineering Connections for Broad Energy Education

能源教育的必要性从未如此清晰。能源服务是所有现代工业社会的基础。尽管能源具有根本性的重要性，但可持续性和可靠性问题困扰着能源工业。由于需要训练有素的劳动力和知情的公众，必须改进和扩大有关能源的教育。第三届全国能源教育峰会将于2018年1月在华盛顿特区举行。峰会的目的是让包括大学预科、高等教育和公共教育在内的能源教育工作者参与进来，分享最佳做法，并与来自企业、政府和民间社会的领导人建立伙伴关系。峰会将讨论我们在能源教育中教授的内容，如何教授，如何合作以更好地教授，以及我们如何克服重大挑战。此次峰会以2016年峰会的一份报告为基础，该报告展示了美国能源教育的愿景，可在www.EnergyEducationSummit.org上找到。新兴的能源教育元领域尚处于起步阶段，但它建立在机械、化学、生物、电气、石油和天然气等工程学科一个多世纪的经验基础之上。最近在这一学术领域开拓先锋的教育家们在很大程度上是在孤立的情况下进行的，他们没有找到特别适合将能量纳入更广泛的教育领域的教学、教学或评估方法的地图。其中一些关键问题是：我们如何才能最好地培养学生成为未来的能源专业人士？技术知识（主要是物理和工程）和背景知识（经济学、社会背景、环境方面和创业技能）的哪些组合适合不同层次和领域的学生？第三届全国能源教育峰会将为K-12、高等教育和非正式教育领域的能源、环境和STEM教育工作者提供一个论坛，与来自商业、工业、政府和民间社会的领导人聚集在一起，分享最佳实践，发展新的伙伴关系，以扩大能源教育的规模、影响和有效性。峰会的成果包括建立一个能源教育实践社区，确定能源教育关键领域的关键学习成果和有效实践。将广泛散发一份关于首脑会议的报告，以便为今后在能源教育方面的努力提供资料。

The need for energy education has never been clearer. Energy services undergird all modern, industrial societies. Despite the fundamental importance of energy, problems of sustainability and reliability afflict the energy industries. The need for a trained workforce and an informed public necessitate improvements in and expansion of education about energy. The 3rd National Energy Education Summit will take place in January of 2018 in Washington, DC. The purpose of the Summit is to engage energy educators, including pre-college, higher education and public education, in sharing best practices and developing partnerships with leaders from business, government and civil society. The Summit will cover what we teach in energy education, how we teach it, how we can collaborate to teach it better, and how we can overcome critical challenges. The Summit builds on a report from the 2016 Summit, available at www.EnergyEducationSummit.org, which presents a vision for energy education in the US.The emerging meta-field of energy education is in its infancy, but builds on over a century of experience in engineering disciplines including mechanical, chemical, biological, electrical, petroleum and natural gas, and others. Educators who have pioneered the recent expansion of this academic territory have done so largely in isolation without maps to identify pedagogical, instructional, or evaluative approaches particularly well-suited to incorporating energy into the broader landscape of education. Some of the key questions are: How can we best prepare students to be future energy professionals? What combinations of technical knowledge (primarily physics and engineering) and contextual knowledge (economics, societal context, environmental aspects and entrepreneurial skills) are appropriate for students at different levels and fields? The 3rd National Energy Education Summit will serve as a forum for energy, environmental and STEM educators in K-12, higher education, and informal education to gather with leaders from business, industry, government and civil society to share best practices and develop new partnerships in order to expand the scale, impact and effectiveness of energy education. Outcomes of the Summit include building a community of practice in energy education identification of critical learning outcomes and effective practices in key areas of energy education. A report on the Summit will be widely disseminated to inform future efforts in energy education.
