A Workshop to Finalize the Planning for a National Pilot of an AP in Engineering

该项目为一个讲习班提供支持，该讲习班将于2017年秋季在马里兰大学学院园区(UMD)举行，以最终确定工程AP国家试点的规划。工作坊的三个目标是：1)审查和修订工程类专业的课程框架草案。2)确定组织在试点中扮演的角色。3)制定试点教师的培训目标。此次研讨会将汇集来自教育和工程企业以下部门的约36名参与者：1)工程学院和学院的院长；2)大学理事会；3)K-12 STEM教师和地区领导；4)社区学院和四年制教师；5)依赖工程人才的咨询、技术和制造业；6)非正式教育计划；7)政策制定者；以及8)公共和私人资助者。与会者将召开会议：1)审查和修订工程AP的课程框架草案；2)计划参加试验的高中的标准和招募；3)确定组织在工程AP试验中所扮演的角色；4)为试验教师制定专业发展框架；以及5)讨论学习管理系统(LMS)的作用。

This project provides support for A Workshop to Finalize the Planning for a National Pilot of an AP in Engineering, to be held at the University of Maryland College Park (UMD) in the Fall of 2017. The three goals of the workshop are to: 1) Review and revise the Draft Curriculum Framework for the AP in Engineering. 2) Define the Role Organizations Play in the Pilot. 3) Development of Training Objectives for the Pilot Teachers. This workshop will bring together approximately 36 participants from the following sectors within the education and engineering enterprises: 1) Deans from Schools and Colleges of Engineering; 2) College Board; 3) K-12 STEM teachers and district level leadership; 4) community college and four-year faculties; 5) consulting, technology, and manufacturing industries dependent upon engineering talent; 6) informal education programs; 7) policy-makers; and 8) public and private funders. The participants would convene to: 1) review and revise the Draft Curriculum Framework for the AP in Engineering; 2) plan the criteria and recruitment of high schools to participate in the pilot; 3) define the role organizations would play in a pilot of the AP in Engineering; 4) development of a professional development framework for the pilot teachers; and 5) discussion of the role of a Learning Management System (LMS).
