A calculus retention program for students at risk in engineering 一个微积分保留计划,为学生在工程风险
B. Hart, T.L. Holloman, C. A. O'Connor
Historically, calculus has served as a filter in many engineering schools. However, this entry level mathematics requirement is filtering far more than those who are not capable intellectually. This has become a national concern, and is the main thrust behind the calculus reform currently taking place in the mathematics community. During the 1994 spring semester, three faculty members at the University of Louisville's Speed Scientific School (the engineering school) initiated a pilot program whose main goal was to deepen students' understanding of the material in calculus. Additionally, the program was designed to create a more friendly environment in which to learn mathematics and help increase the retention rate of the engineering students. To address these goals, a group of African American and female students was recruited to work in small groups on problems related to the material being covered in calculus each week. These sessions utilized the Uri Treisman collaborative learning model currently in use at several other universities, with some modifications for this particular situation. The pilot program was fairly successful, and the effort continued with students during the summer and fall 1994 terms. The paper outlines the essential elements of this cooperative learning program, describes the modifications made over the year and discusses its successes and failures. An analysis is presented comparing students who had no or little participation in the program with students who attended the program regularly.
从历史上看,微积分在许多工程学院都起到了过滤作用。然而,这种入门级的数学要求过滤的远远超过了那些智力不强的人。这已经成为一个全国性的问题,也是目前数学界正在进行的微积分改革的主要推动力。在1994年春季学期,路易斯维尔大学斯皮德科学学院(工程学院)的三位教员发起了一个试点项目,其主要目标是加深学生对微积分材料的理解。此外,该计划旨在创造一个更友好的学习数学的环境,并帮助提高工程专业学生的保留率。为了实现这些目标,我们招募了一群非裔美国人和女性学生,每周以小组形式解决与微积分内容相关的问题。这些课程使用了目前在其他几所大学使用的Uri Treisman协作学习模型,并针对这种特殊情况进行了一些修改。试验方案相当成功,1994年夏季和秋季学期继续在学生中进行。本文概述了这一合作学习计划的基本要素,描述了一年来所做的修改,并讨论了它的成功和失败。对没有或很少参加该计划的学生与定期参加该计划的学生进行了比较分析。

Back to the future: the telegraph as an introduction to electrical and computer engineering 回到未来:电报作为电气和计算机工程的入门
K. Stephan
The electromagnetic telegraph was the first widespread application of electrotechnology. It embodies essential electrical principles, but its basic operation is simple enough to be understood by most first-year college students. As part of an ARPA/NSF-sponsored effort to improve undergraduate instruction, a four-week course module was developed to introduce freshman students to electrical and computer engineering. The module used multimedia presentations, a 70-page set of course notes, and demonstrations conducted by the students themselves. Near the end of the module teams of students bid on the construction of a hypothetical 1890 telegraph system. The module concluded with a review of modern telecommunications. The course used several innovative approaches. Rather than extensive lectures, the in-class instruction was provided primarily by rotating pairs of students who performed demonstrations under the guidance of the instructor. Examples of the course material are given along with student evaluations of the course and recommendations for similar work in the future.
电磁电报是电工技术的第一次广泛应用。它体现了基本的电学原理,但它的基本操作很简单,大多数大学一年级的学生都能理解。作为ARPA/ nsf资助的改善本科教学的一部分,开发了一个为期四周的课程模块,向大一学生介绍电气和计算机工程。该模块使用多媒体演示,一套70页的课程笔记,以及学生自己进行的演示。在模块即将结束时,学生团队投标建造一个假设的1890年电报系统。该单元最后审查了现代电信。该课程采用了几种创新方法。课堂教学不是广泛的讲座,而是主要由学生轮流在教师的指导下进行示范。课程材料的示例与学生对课程的评价以及对将来类似工作的建议一起给出。

Toward the improvement of quality in engineering education 论工程教育质量的提高
John Heywood
The paper outlines the attempts by the Higher Education Funding Councils in the United Kingdom to assess the quality of education in the institutions it funds. It describes the Teaching Quality Improvement Scheme at the University of Salford (UK). University teachers may apply for grants to undertake research on their own instruction and the curriculum; it is a form of problem based learning into teaching and learning. An analysis of the educational needs of these teachers is made. These needs are related to those of students in a post graduate teacher training course in Ireland. From a comparison of these needs with the literature of engineering education, published in the last decade (much of it American), it is concluded that there exists in the engineering profession a corpus of knowledge capable of introducing commensurate courses to those in teacher education for engineering teachers, provided that a broad approach is taken.
本文概述了英国高等教育资助委员会评估其资助机构教育质量的尝试。它描述了索尔福德大学(英国)的教学质量改进计划。大学教师可以申请资助,对自己的教学和课程进行研究;这是一种将基于问题的学习融入教与学的形式。对这些教师的教育需求进行了分析。这些需求与爱尔兰研究生教师培训课程的学生的需求有关。通过将这些需求与过去十年出版的工程教育文献(大部分是美国的)进行比较,可以得出结论,如果采用广泛的方法,工程专业中存在一个知识语料库,能够为工程教师的教师教育引入相应的课程。

Learning to change the world: a case study of a mechanical engineering design course 学习改变世界:机械工程设计课程的个案研究
W. Newstetter, J.I. Kolodner
The National Science Foundation in collaboration with its engineering school coalition partners has been exploring methods for improving undergraduate engineering education. This initiative began in response to a 1992 survey of engineering deans and employers that identified specific weaknesses in engineering education. In response to this survey NSF and its partners have been attempting to remediate the identified weaknesses through specific educational practices. These include providing opportunities for: creative problem formulation and solving experiences; designing in teams; developing written, spoken and graphical communication skills; and using computers as cognitive tools. We know that engineering students need such opportunities to develop the kinds of skills that anoint them to change the world, but we know little about the pedagogic issues involved in developing such skills. This paper reports on a preliminary ethnographic study of a mechanical engineering design classroom. Although not developed in response to the NSF initiative, the course as it has evolved over the years has incorporated most of the the aforementioned remediation recommendations.
美国国家科学基金会与其工程学校联盟伙伴合作,一直在探索改善本科工程教育的方法。1992年,一项针对工程学院院长和雇主的调查发现了工程教育的具体弱点,这一举措由此开始。为了回应这项调查,美国国家科学基金会及其合作伙伴一直试图通过具体的教育实践来弥补已确定的弱点。这包括提供以下机会:创造性地提出问题和解决经验;团队设计;发展书面、口头和图形沟通能力;使用电脑作为认知工具。我们知道,工程专业的学生需要这样的机会来培养各种技能,使他们能够改变世界,但我们对培养这些技能所涉及的教学问题知之甚少。本文对一个机械工程设计教室进行了初步的民族志研究。虽然不是为了响应NSF的倡议而开发的,但随着多年的发展,该课程已经纳入了前面提到的大多数补救建议。

Integrated team design 集成团队设计
W. D. Lane, A. Sayles
The purpose of the United States Military Academy at West Point is to provide the nation with leaders of character who serve the common defense. In helping to prepare these future leaders for their service to the nation and to the US Army, the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science is chartered to provide a five-course electrical engineering sequence. The purpose of this sequence is to have cadets learn the engineering thought process that culminates with solving an engineering design problem. In addition, the department provides instruction for an ABET-accredited major in electrical engineering. As part of this program, cadets participate in a comprehensive capstone design project. This paper details a unique Military Academy program that provides an integrated design experience for students from both the core engineering sequence and the electrical engineering majors' program. By bringing both groups of electrical engineering students together into a single team to accomplish a significant design effort, substantial experience is gained by all. This integrated team approach has proven to be a positive learning experience for both groups, as well as for majors from other disciplines in a design team effort.
美国西点军校的宗旨是为国家培养有品格的领导人,为共同防御服务。为了帮助这些未来的领导者为国家和美国军队服务做好准备,电气工程和计算机科学系被特许提供五门课程的电气工程课程。这个顺序的目的是让学员学习工程思维过程,最终解决工程设计问题。此外,该部门还为abet认证的电气工程专业提供指导。作为这个项目的一部分,学员参加一个全面的顶点设计项目。本文详细介绍了一个独特的军校项目,该项目为核心工程序列和电气工程专业的学生提供了一个综合的设计体验。通过将两组电气工程专业的学生组成一个团队来完成一项重要的设计工作,所有人都获得了丰富的经验。事实证明,这种整合的团队方法对两个团队以及设计团队中其他学科的专业都是一种积极的学习体验。

Teaching about values and engineering: the American electric utility industry as a case study 价值与工程的教学:以美国电力事业为个案研究
R. Hirsh
Engineering students are often forced to take courses in the humanities and social sciences. Even so, they rarely learn how to bridge the gap between the technical and nontechnical world. As a result, they usually fail to understand the significance of values in the every-day functioning of their craft. This paper describes a class module designed for the SUCCEED program at Georgia Tech that seeks to remedy this failure. It employs a case study of the American electric utility industry to demonstrate how power company managers-usually trained as engineers-adopted a value system based on growth in electricity consumption and big new technology. For decades, the public and utility regulators shared that value system, but when the energy crisis struck in the 1970s, the public and regulators adopted low-growth and environmentally-conscious values that conflicted with those held by managers. Ultimately, managers lost control over the industry. Today's turmoil in the utility industry can be explained partly by the changing value systems. Telling the story in the course module should alert engineering students to the importance of values and the social fabric as they practice their profession.
工科学生经常被迫选修人文和社会科学的课程。即便如此,他们也很少学会如何弥合技术和非技术世界之间的鸿沟。因此,他们通常不能理解价值观在他们的日常工作中的重要性。本文介绍了为佐治亚理工学院的SUCCEED项目设计的一个课程模块,旨在弥补这一缺陷。它以美国电力行业为例,展示了电力公司的管理者——通常是工程师——是如何采用一种基于电力消费增长和大型新技术的价值体系的。几十年来,公众和公用事业监管机构分享了这种价值体系,但当20世纪70年代能源危机爆发时,公众和监管机构采用了与管理者持有的低增长和环保意识相冲突的价值观。最终,管理者失去了对行业的控制。今天公用事业行业的动荡,部分可以用价值体系的变化来解释。在课程模块中讲故事应该提醒工程专业的学生在实践他们的专业时,价值观和社会结构的重要性。

An assessment of networked multimedia and hypermedia 网络多媒体和超媒体的评估
C.A. Carver, R. Howard
This paper is an assessment of our experiences using networked multimedia and hypertext documents at the US Military Academy. Over the last two years, we have taught a course in which the course material is rich in networked multimedia and hypertext. During the last year, we began a formal assessment of the pedagogical effects of using this hypertext and multimedia in the classroom and making it available in the student's rooms. This assessment used a course population of approximately 200 students and consisted of measurements of: (1) the amount of time each lesson the student spent using a particular multimedia tool; and (2) the student's assessment of each tool at the end of the semester. You can use the results of this assessment to plan your development of multimedia and hypertext documents.
这篇论文是对我们在美国军事学院使用网络多媒体和超文本文档的经验的评估。在过去的两年中,我们教授了一门课程,其中课程材料丰富,包括网络多媒体和超文本。去年,我们开始正式评估在课堂上使用超文本和多媒体的教学效果,并将其提供给学生的房间。该评估使用了大约200名学生的课程人口,包括测量:(1)学生使用特定多媒体工具的每节课的时间;(2)学生在学期结束时对每个工具的评估。您可以使用此评估的结果来规划多媒体和超文本文档的开发。

Integrating materials, manufacturing and design in the sophomore year 在大二时将材料、制造和设计整合
E. Tsang, A. Wilhelm
A one credit hour laboratory course taught in the first quarter of the sophomore year is used to integrate the disciplines of materials science and engineering, manufacturing and design, and to help students make connection between mathematics, engineering science and design. Course activities aim to help students develop a feel for the design process; they will participate in the design and manufacturing of a product from start to finish. Students will engage in hands on activities to investigate the relationships between properties, structure and processing of materials, and will synthesize a process to solve a design problem involving mechanical forming. Students will also apply statistics for product description, tolerance, and properties, and they will make oral and written presentations about their design projects. The course meets once a week for three hours, and is team taught by two faculty members, one with background in materials science and the other with background in manufacturing and design.
在大二第一季度开设一学分的实验课程,整合材料科学与工程、制造与设计等学科,帮助学生建立数学、工程科学与设计之间的联系。课程活动旨在帮助学生培养对设计过程的感觉;他们将从头到尾参与产品的设计和制造。学生将参与实践活动,研究材料的性质、结构和加工之间的关系,并将综合一个过程来解决涉及机械成型的设计问题。学生还将应用统计来描述产品、公差和性能,并对他们的设计项目进行口头和书面的介绍。该课程每周一次,每次三小时,由两名教师授课,一名具有材料科学背景,另一名具有制造和设计背景。

Utilization of active and cooperative learning in EE courses: three classes and the results 主动合作学习在情感表达课程中的运用:三节课及效果
K. Watson
Educational researchers confirmed that active learning strategies will result in more retention of subject matter and a deeper comprehension of the concepts covered in a class. In part this is due to the fact that these strategies require that the learner assume more responsibility, during class, for the learning environment. In conjunction with active learning, much interest has been focused on cooperative learning strategies, which require that the students operate in a more cooperative, or team, mode versus the more traditional competitive modes. In this paper three electrical engineering courses at Texas A&M University which incorporated various active and cooperative learning strategies are presented. The information does not deepen the already present research on these strategies. However, it does present detailed examples of the assignments made which utilized active and cooperative learning, the adaptations in student grading procedures which were made, the attitudes of the students during the courses, and a brief follow-up on the students a year after the courses.
教育研究人员证实,积极的学习策略将导致更多的主题内容的保留和更深的理解所涵盖的概念在课堂上。部分原因是这些策略要求学习者在课堂上对学习环境承担更多的责任。与主动学习相结合,合作学习策略引起了人们的极大兴趣,它要求学生以更合作或团队的方式进行学习,而不是以更传统的竞争模式进行学习。本文介绍了得克萨斯农工大学的三门电子工程课程,这些课程采用了多种主动合作学习策略。这些信息并没有加深目前对这些策略的研究。然而,它确实提供了使用主动和合作学习的作业的详细例子,所做的学生评分程序的调整,学生在课程中的态度,以及课程结束一年后对学生的简短随访。

However, it does present detailed examples of the assignments made which utilized active and cooperative learning, the adaptations in student grading procedures which were made, the attitudes of the students during the courses, and a brief follow-up on the students a year after the courses.","PeriodicalId":137465,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings Frontiers in Education 1995 25th Annual Conference.

Assessing student learning: it can be more than a survey 评估学生的学习:这不仅仅是一个调查
William K. Dalton
There is a trend toward the assessment of more "outputs" rather than "inputs" in the accreditation processes. The immediate need was to develop an assessment plan to meet the requirements of the North Central Association for future accreditation of the university. Subsequently the desired outputs, student learning outcomes or academic achievements, were defined as what a student can do with their learning. Deciding what constituted these outcomes or achievements was the next step since these were the factors that would be assessed. Many of these factors are subjective in nature and surveys seemed an effective and efficient way to do the assessment. However, the author believes that assessment of student learning outcomes or achievements should begin with instructors taking a reflective look at, i.e., assess, how their students are doing. This process should involve analysis of more than just the exam results. The author has been guided in this process by a course development model he uses which is a modification of models previously published. The steps of this model are explained and his use of it to assess student learning explored. Data which he has collected on his students is discussed. The role this assessment process has played in revisions made to the metallurgy course he teaches are also be discussed.
在认可过程中,有一种倾向是评价更多的“产出”而不是“投入”。当务之急是制定一项评估计划,以满足北中协会对该大学未来认证的要求。随后,期望的产出,即学生的学习成果或学术成就,被定义为学生通过学习可以做些什么。决定什么构成了这些结果或成就是下一步,因为这些是将要评估的因素。这些因素中的许多都是主观的,调查似乎是进行评估的有效和高效的方法。然而,作者认为,对学生学习成果或成就的评估应该从教师反思开始,即评估学生的表现。这个过程应该包括分析不仅仅是考试结果。作者在这个过程中受到他使用的课程开发模型的指导,该模型是对先前发表的模型的修改。他解释了这个模型的步骤,并探讨了他如何使用这个模型来评估学生的学习。讨论了他收集的关于学生的资料。本文还讨论了这一评估过程在他所教授的冶金学课程的修订中所起的作用。
