Recent research shows that the engineering students have problems connecting the required computation to a conceptual understanding, as well as translating a graphical understanding of the process to a symbolic mathematical representation, especially when handling the multiple steps of the procedures. The students are usually able to perform sequences of the underlying calculations but cannot piece together the higher conceptual relationship that drives these procedures. This work-in-progress paper presents a viable approach and a new teaching and learning paradigm to enhance the effectiveness of teaching fast Fourier transform and significantly improve the learning outcomes. By integrating the mobile and cloud computing technologies, we are developing a handheld real-world relevance laboratory that includes an integrated learning module for Fourier transform and a shared intelligent project repository to host the module and real-world relevant data. This development is expected to overcome the intellectual inaccessibility of transform techniques and tackle the challenges in existing approaches: the prohibitive cost of project-based approach; limited access and real-world relevance data in simulation-based approach, and unreliable and unsustainable support.
最近的研究表明,工科学生在将所需的计算与概念理解联系起来以及将过程的图形理解转化为符号数学表示方面存在问题,特别是在处理过程的多个步骤时。学生通常能够执行一系列的基础计算,但不能拼凑出驱动这些过程的更高的概念关系。本文提出了一种可行的方法和一种新的教学范式,以提高快速傅里叶变换的教学效率,并显著改善学习效果。通过集成移动和云计算技术,我们正在开发一个手持式现实世界相关实验室,其中包括一个用于傅里叶变换的集成学习模块和一个共享的智能项目存储库,用于托管模块和现实世界相关数据。预计这一发展将克服转换技术的智力障碍,并解决现有方法中的挑战:基于项目的方法成本过高;在基于模拟的方法中,有限的访问和真实世界相关数据,以及不可靠和不可持续的支持。

In this paper, we describe our process for creating a design task to assess students' understanding of human-centered design. The development process involved conducting a series of pilot tests, with analyses of the data from each prior pilot motivating revisions made to the next versions of the assessment design task. This paper is a formative look at the seven iterations of the design task that have been administered. We will discuss the information we gained about the students' understanding and the design task itself and how it informed the revisions. We will also discuss student perceptions of the design task, features of the design task that helped or hindered eliciting, and capturing, the participants' design process and major breakthroughs in the task development process.
在本文中,我们描述了我们创建设计任务的过程,以评估学生对以人为本的设计的理解。开发过程涉及进行一系列试点测试,并对以前每个试点的数据进行分析,从而推动对评估设计任务的下一个版本进行修订。本文是对已管理的设计任务的七个迭代的形成性观察。我们将讨论我们获得的关于学生理解和设计任务本身的信息,以及它如何影响修订。我们还将讨论学生对设计任务的看法,设计任务的特征有助于或阻碍激发和捕捉参与者的设计过程和任务发展过程中的重大突破。

Work-in-progress: Exploring the essential nature of engineering education through philosophical inquiry 正在进行的工作:通过哲学探究探索工程教育的本质

In regard to the ongoing efforts to reform engineering education, this working paper proposes the methods of philosophical reasoning and argumentation for constructing and analyzing educational beliefs about the ontology and epistemology of engineering and engineering education. Modern views of philosophy tend toward an instrumental perspective - one that believes that philosophy provides a rigorous method for describing and evaluating our understandings of knowledge and truth. Philosophical reasoning can help reconcile diverse beliefs resulting in more coherent and comprehensive statements about the nature of engineering and education. Employing philosophical reasoning in the articulation of one's philosophy of engineering education can lead to a more coherent and consistent statement about what it is that engineering educators aim to achieve. This paper briefly describes the methods of philosophical reasoning and argumentation introduced in workshops on the philosophy of engineering education conducted at previous FIE conferences. A follow-up workshop focused on these methods is planned for this year's FIE conference. The outcomes of the upcoming workshop will be included in a final version of this paper on the topic of developing a philosophy of engineering education.
针对当前工程教育改革的现状,本文提出了构建和分析工程教育本体论和认识论教育信念的哲学推理和论证方法。现代哲学观倾向于工具视角,认为哲学为描述和评估我们对知识和真理的理解提供了一种严格的方法。哲学推理可以帮助调和不同的信仰,从而产生关于工程和教育本质的更连贯和全面的陈述。在阐述一个人的工程教育哲学时,运用哲学推理可以得出一个更连贯、更一致的结论,即工程教育者的目标是什么。本文简要描述了在以前的FIE会议上进行的工程教育哲学研讨会上介绍的哲学推理和论证方法。计划在今年的国际工商联合会会议上举行一个以这些方法为重点的后续讲习班。即将举行的研讨会的成果将包含在这篇关于发展工程教育哲学的论文的最终版本中。

Previous studies indicated that misconceptions related to heat transfer, fluid mechanics, and thermodynamics, persist among engineering juniors and seniors even after they completed college-level courses in these subjects. Researchers have proposed an innovative instructional approach, the ontological schema training method, which helps students develop appropriate schemas or conceptual frameworks for learning difficult science concepts. Three online training modules were designed to help engineering students develop appropriate schemas in heat transfer, diffusion and microfluidics. The effectiveness of these modules was examined with two different student populations from two different universities (US and Hispanic). At each institution, participants were assigned randomly to a control or experimental group. The treatment for each group at both institutions was exactly the same. Preliminary results indicated a mixed effectiveness of the training modules among these populations.
先前的研究表明,即使在完成了大学水平的课程后,与传热、流体力学和热力学相关的误解仍然存在于工程大三和大四的学生中。研究者提出了一种创新的教学方法——本体论图式训练法,它帮助学生在学习困难的科学概念时形成适当的图式或概念框架。设计了三个在线培训模块,以帮助工程学生在传热、扩散和微流体方面建立适当的模式。这些模块的有效性由来自两所不同大学的两种不同的学生群体(美国和西班牙)进行了检验。在每个机构,参与者被随机分配到对照组或实验组。两家机构对每组患者的治疗完全相同。初步结果表明,培训模块在这些人群中的效果好坏参半。

Work in progress: How engineering students define innovation 正在进行的工作:工科学生如何定义创新
Pub Date : 2012-10-03 DOI: 10.1109/FIE.2012.6462431

Innovation is defined in diverse ways in the literature and often assessed in ways synonymous with creativity. As these arguments continue it is also important to identify student perspectives. In this pilot study, we examine how engineering students define innovation. Fifty-four first-year engineering students were asked to define innovation in an open response survey. Their answers were first reviewed to identify emerging patterns and then a detailed coding method was used to categorize students' responses. The analysis examined students' focus on feasibility, desirability, and viability as well as other important aspects of innovative design. The findings from this open-ended survey will be used to develop an assessment tool that is easy to administer and score.
在文献中,创新的定义多种多样,通常被视为创造力的同义词。随着这些争论的继续,确定学生的观点也很重要。在这项初步研究中,我们考察了工科学生如何定义创新。54名工科一年级学生被要求在一项开放式回答调查中定义创新。他们的答案首先被审查以识别新出现的模式,然后使用详细的编码方法对学生的回答进行分类。分析考察了学生对可行性、可取性和可行性以及创新设计的其他重要方面的关注。这项开放式调查的结果将用于开发一种易于管理和评分的评估工具。

The Amazon region is characterized by its low population density, with one large city, the capital Manaus, and the remainder of its population distributed in small and less economically developed towns. Most of these towns suffer from huge geographic isolation, as these are scattered in the forest and their access are only through rivers. With all these difficulties, taking education to this population consists of a real and daily challenge. To provide an opportunity for students of this region to enter into an upper-level course, one of the solutions devised by the Federal University of Amazonas, through its Center for Distance Education (CDE) was the creation of undergraduate courses in non-face mode. CDE project consisted of organizing headquarters, called poles, to receive courses in Administration, Public Administration, Fine Arts, Biology, Agricultural Sciences and Physical Education. This paper describes this educational experience and presents the structure of the pedagogical model supported by technology (PMT) which allows this scenario to become reality. The innovation of this model is to allow the 1,618 students, distributed in 17 different poles, assisted by CDE, to keep pace with their course through a structure of logistical and technological support adapted to their reality. Resources offered by a Course Management System (CMS), tutors and other specialized tools that support off-line activities make it possible for higher education to reach the most remote regions of Amazon.
亚马逊地区的特点是人口密度低,只有一个大城市,即首都玛瑙斯,其余的人口分布在经济不发达的小城镇。这些城镇大多受到地理隔离的影响,因为它们分散在森林中,只能通过河流进入。面对所有这些困难,向这些人提供教育是一项现实和日常的挑战。为了给该地区的学生提供进入高级课程的机会,亚马逊联邦大学通过其远程教育中心(CDE)设计的解决方案之一是创建非面对面模式的本科课程。CDE项目包括组织总部,称为极点,接受行政管理,公共管理,美术,生物,农业科学和体育等课程。本文描述了这一教育经验,并提出了技术支持的教学模式结构(PMT),使这一场景成为现实。这种模式的创新之处在于,在CDE的协助下,分布在17个不同极点的1,618名学生可以通过适应他们实际情况的后勤和技术支持结构跟上课程的步伐。课程管理系统(CMS)提供的资源、导师和其他支持离线活动的专业工具,使高等教育能够到达亚马逊最偏远的地区。

Society's dependency on information technology has drastically outpaced educational curricula and the opportunities that universities and higher education institutes provide to students from both technical (e.g., computer engineering, computer science) and non-technical majors. To increase the opportunities for all students to learn how protect themselves as individuals and others as professionals from numerous cyber threats the focus of this work is to identify gaps in engineering curricula and present novel approaches to fulfill the growing and diverse needs of cyber security education. The overall objective of this paper is to make security education accessible, relevant, and tangible across educational curricula, as well as to provide the framework to extend these efforts beyond university classrooms and into community colleges and high schools. While the predominant focus, research, and innovative practices in the area of cyber security have focused on technical students at the university level, this work instead concentrates on the demographic of students that desire to learn about cyber security without having to major in computer engineering, for example. In this paper we present a three-tiered framework that provides breadth and depth to security education across multiple education levels. This all-encompassing framework for security education includes providing (1) formal literacy-based training for students of all backgrounds, (2) inquiry-based learning through security- and technically-focused student groups and activities, and (3) classical technical·based initiatives. For each of these respective areas, previous research and efforts are discussed as well as the innovative practices that we have developed to address identified educational gaps.
社会对信息技术的依赖已经大大超过了教育课程和大学和高等教育机构为技术专业(如计算机工程、计算机科学)和非技术专业的学生提供的机会。为了增加所有学生学习如何保护自己作为个人和其他人作为专业人员免受众多网络威胁的机会,这项工作的重点是确定工程课程中的差距,并提出新的方法来满足日益增长和多样化的网络安全教育需求。本文的总体目标是使安全教育在整个教育课程中变得容易获得、相关和切实,并提供框架,将这些努力扩展到大学课堂之外,进入社区学院和高中。虽然网络安全领域的主要焦点、研究和创新实践都集中在大学水平的技术学生身上,但这项工作的重点是那些希望学习网络安全而不必主修计算机工程的学生。在本文中,我们提出了一个三层框架,为跨多个教育层次的安全教育提供广度和深度。这个无所不包的安全教育框架包括提供(1)为所有背景的学生提供正式的识字培训,(2)通过以安全和技术为重点的学生团体和活动进行探究式学习,以及(3)以经典技术为基础的倡议。对于这些各自的领域,我们讨论了以前的研究和努力,以及我们为解决已确定的教育差距而开发的创新实践。

Currently, the engineering community faces shortages. These shortages can be conceptualized as both literal shortages of numbers, particularly females, and a more conceptual shortage of engineers who are trained and qualified to handle the transitioning global context of the profession. With its rapid growth, high female involvement, and global vision, Engineers Without Borders-USA (EWB-USA) stands as a prime research model for the larger engineering field. During a series of five regional EWB-USA workshops, participants were asked to respond to six open-ended questions dealing with identity and gains from their involvement. Thousands of unique responses were coded into emergent themes to identify the most common responses and to compare response themes across questions. Results suggest that EWB-USA members identify strongly with the organization, which may increase their identity with and motivation to remain in the profession. Results also show that EWB-USA members are filling significant education gaps from their organizational involvement and are gaining the desirable global engineering qualities required within the field. These results help unpack the motivations driving EWB-USA members and gains from their membership that may help, through future curriculum development, attract and retain a diverse engineering population able to handle future challenges required by the profession.
目前,工程界面临短缺。这些短缺可以被概念化为字面上的数量短缺,特别是女性,以及更概念化的工程师短缺,这些工程师受过培训并有资格处理该行业的全球转型背景。随着其快速发展,高女性参与,和全球视野,工程师无国界-美国(EWB-USA)站在一个主要的研究模式,为更大的工程领域。在五个区域EWB-USA讲习班期间,参与者被要求回答六个关于身份和参与收益的开放式问题。数千个独特的回答被编码成紧急主题,以确定最常见的回答,并比较不同问题的回答主题。结果表明,EWB-USA成员对该组织的认同感很强,这可能会增加他们对该行业的认同感和留在该行业的动力。结果还表明,EWB-USA成员正在填补其组织参与的重大教育缺口,并正在获得该领域所需的理想的全球工程素质。这些结果有助于揭示推动EWB-USA成员的动机,并从他们的会员资格中获益,这可能有助于通过未来的课程开发,吸引和留住能够应对该专业未来挑战的多样化工程人口。

Students notoriously struggle with common misconceptions in Engineering Mechanics curriculum that negatively impact later courses in Mechanical Engineering and related disciplines. Moreover, traditional, lecture-based curriculum for Statics and Dynamics does not promote sustained student engagement. This paper presents a series of Guided Discovery modules that target key concepts. Guided Discovery is a methodology that borrows aspects of challenge-based instruction and discovery learning. The method is designed to facilitate students paths to discovery of key concepts that are often misinterpreted or not readily mastered. This is accomplished by facilitating students timely discovery of the underlying fundamentals through physical or virtual interaction with Statics and Dynamics challenges. The key difficulty to insuring positive impact on concept mastery is sustaining student engagement throughout the process. When students actively participate in every step, there is a significant improvement on comprehension and retention of commonly misinterpreted concepts. In this paper the authors summarize existing modules and present some of the results. Additionally, the authors detail typical shortcomings that resulted in early implementations of the modules and strategies for overcoming those shortcomings.
众所周知,学生们在工程力学课程中与常见的误解作斗争,这些误解对机械工程和相关学科的后续课程产生了负面影响。此外,传统的、基于讲座的静力学和动力学课程并不能促进学生的持续参与。本文提出了一系列针对关键概念的指导性发现模块。引导式发现是一种借鉴了基于挑战的教学和发现式学习的方法。该方法旨在帮助学生发现经常被误解或不易掌握的关键概念。这是通过促进学生通过与静力学和动力学挑战的物理或虚拟交互及时发现基础知识来实现的。确保对概念掌握产生积极影响的关键困难是在整个过程中保持学生的参与。当学生积极参与每一步时,对常见误解概念的理解和记忆都有显著提高。在本文中,作者总结了现有的模块,并给出了一些结果。此外,作者还详细介绍了导致早期模块实现的典型缺点以及克服这些缺点的策略。

This work investigates affordances of co-working, collaboratory spaces in support of engineering design student design teams. A framework for establishing such spaces is presented adapting a set of design axioms: design is a social activity, preserve ambiguity and all design is redesign. Student reflections are used to illustrate these design principles and example spaces are described in brief.
这项工作调查了共同工作的可行性,协作的实验室空间,以支持工程设计学生的设计团队。建立这样的空间的框架采用了一套设计公理:设计是一种社会活动,保持模糊性,所有的设计都是重新设计。学生的反思被用来说明这些设计原则,并简要描述了示例空间。
