According to the Engineering Workforce Commission, women received approximately 21% of the nation's B.S. degrees in engineering in 2000. If bio-related fields are omitted, the percentage drops well below 20%. Only modest improvement has been made in these statistics since, beginning in the mid-1980's, many U.S. engineering colleges focused attention on the issue of diversifying the engineering workforce. Current research indicates that eliminating the significant gender incongruity in engineering requires improvement in recruitment, retention, and advancement practices. In an effort to increase the number of B.S.-level women engineers in Kentucky, a partnership has been forged between Midway College and the University of Kentucky (UK). In this program, students enrolled in full-time study at Midway College may fulfill lower-division electrical engineering course requirements at UK while remaining predominately on the Midway campus. Students may earn an A.S. from Midway and a B.S. from UK in four years. Earning such a degree is becoming increasingly difficult in Kentucky, as smaller schools' offerings of pre-engineering curricula have diminished markedly over the past decade. Obstacles that have interfered with the recruitment, retention, and advancement of women in engineering are being countered in this innovative educational partnership. Despite dissimilar profiles, the two institutions embarking on this experiment possess notable similarities with respect to their commitment to gender diversity in engineering and their awareness of the need to increase the number of engineers in Kentucky.
根据工程劳动力委员会(Engineering Workforce Commission)的数据,2000年,女性获得的工程学士学位约占全国的21%。如果忽略生物相关领域,这一比例将降至20%以下。自20世纪80年代中期开始,许多美国工程学院将注意力集中在工程劳动力多样化的问题上以来,这些统计数据只取得了适度的改善。目前的研究表明,消除工程领域显著的性别不一致需要改进招聘、保留和晋升实践。为了增加肯塔基州学士级女工程师的数量,中途岛学院和肯塔基大学(英国)建立了合作关系。在这个项目中,在中途岛学院全日制学习的学生可以在英国完成较低级别的电气工程课程要求,同时主要留在中途岛校区。学生可以在四年内获得中途大学的学士学位和英国的学士学位。在肯塔基州,获得这样的学位变得越来越困难,因为在过去的十年里,较小的学校提供的工程预科课程明显减少了。在这种创新的教育伙伴关系中,阻碍工程领域女性招聘、保留和发展的障碍正在被克服。尽管两所大学的背景不同,但在致力于工程领域的性别多样性以及意识到需要增加肯塔基州工程师数量方面,开展这项实验的两所大学有着显著的相似之处。

Civil & mechanical engineering majors at West Point must complete a five semester mathematics sequence as part of their Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology accredited academic program. Given the increased interest in multidisciplinary team teaching and the use of technology within their respective academic programs, the Heads of the Departments of Civil & Mechanical Engineering and Mathematical Sciences decided to re-examine the content, structure and teaching of the last course in that five course sequence - MA364 "engineering mathematics"- in an attempt to better motivate engineering majors to study key mathematical concepts in detail and to further strengthen inter-departmental ties. This paper describes the two-pronged approach adopted to "engineer" the mathematics course in question. Particular attention is given to the integration of technology across the course and the planned use of a team teaching approach involving engineering and mathematics faculty.
西点的土木和机械工程专业必须完成五个学期的数学课程,这是工程和技术认证委员会认可的学术课程的一部分。鉴于对多学科团队教学和在各自学术项目中使用技术的兴趣日益增加,土木与机械工程系和数学科学系的系主任决定重新审查内容,这五门课程的最后一门课程——MA364“工程数学”——的结构和教学,旨在更好地激励工程专业的学生深入研究关键的数学概念,并进一步加强院系间的联系。本文描述了采用双管齐下的方法来“工程”所讨论的数学课程。特别关注技术在整个课程中的整合,以及计划使用涉及工程和数学教师的团队教学方法。

Undergraduate engineering students have undertaken a research project on the creation and the development of an Internet based real-time access to laboratory devices. SelfLab@Home is a novel tele-education project of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering of the University of Calgary. Its original objective was to become a self-paced remotely accessed training for the use of four basic laboratory devices: oscilloscope, waveform generator, DMM (digital multimeter) and a power supply. The high-level design components include a client interface, a client/server interface, a main server, a server/hardware interface, the agilent oscilloscope, and a video streaming scheme. The implementation of this project required the following components: client Web browser interface, Web server, application server, hardware dynamic link library (DLL), and video streaming scheme. A joint team of high school students enrolled in the research enrichment program and fourth year students have built this remotely accessed instrumentation laboratory to give all undergraduate students a chance to learn how to operate the equipment from outside the lab while working at their own pace.
工科本科学生已经承担了一个关于创建和开发基于Internet的实验室设备实时访问的研究项目。SelfLab@Home是卡尔加里大学电气与计算机工程系的一个新型远程教育项目。其最初的目标是成为使用四种基本实验室设备的自进度远程访问培训:示波器,波形发生器,DMM(数字万用表)和电源。高级设计组件包括客户端接口、客户端/服务器接口、主服务器、服务器/硬件接口、安捷伦示波器和视频流方案。本项目的实现需要以下组件:客户端Web浏览器接口、Web服务器、应用服务器、硬件动态链接库(DLL)、视频流方案。一个由参加研究充实计划的高中生和四年级学生组成的联合团队建立了这个远程访问仪器实验室,让所有本科生都有机会在实验室外学习如何操作设备,同时按照自己的节奏工作。

This pilot project integrated the Vanderbilt engineering alumni council mentoring initiative in a technical communication course for all engineering majors. An opportunity for networking with alumni and learning about workforce communication was designed into a two-and-a-half-week report writing assignment working individually and in groups, 41 students interviewed 18 alumni and other professionals about workplace communication and reported their findings. Project components included an alumnus guest speaker and a post-project, alumni-sponsored luncheon attended by 27 students. Results showed that graduates spent a large portion of their work time on various written and oral communication tasks. Alumni and student questionnaire responses indicate that the project was beneficial and should be continued. Using an analytical five-point scale, students rated including a mentoring project next semester with a 4.1/5.0 while alumni rated it 4.6.

We present a case study of the use of vertically integrated multidisciplinary teams in a nonengineering general science course. We constructed our teams from students with different majors, genders, and class ranks, reflecting several of the ingredients for effective teaming discussed in the literature. This type of multidisciplinary and stratified team member distribution helped to build a sense of community and shared ownership in the learning process. Our experience demonstrates that vertically integrated teaming concepts can be successfully adapted as an instructional framework in multidisciplinary general-audience courses. In this paper, we discuss content analyses of student journal entries, self-reflection reports, and survey responses.
我们提出了一个在非工程类普通科学课程中使用垂直整合多学科团队的案例研究。我们从不同专业、性别和班级的学生中构建了我们的团队,反映了文献中讨论的有效团队的几个要素。这种多学科和分层的团队成员分布有助于在学习过程中建立社区意识和共享所有权。我们的经验表明,垂直整合的团队概念可以成功地作为多学科普通受众课程的教学框架。在本文中,我们讨论了学生日记条目的内容分析,自我反思报告和调查回应。

This work in progress case study involves a nontraditional concept of incorporating an in service learning experience with a course lecture for class credit. In the construction management program at Georgia Southern University, we have applied the habitat for humanity house construction experience as the lab portion of our wood structures course. The students learn about wood structures and wood construction during the lecture portion of the class and then are required to complete their lab at the Statesboro habitat for humanity construction site. It is an important experience for the students since they receive a real life look at their lecture material. This active and cooperative learning also provides an opportunity for them to volunteer in the local community. The spring 2004 semester was the second semester that the habitat for humanity lab was in use. It is an ongoing pilot program that initially appears to be successful. We will continue to evaluate this learning environment by student participation, response and habitat for humanity feedback.
这个正在进行的案例研究涉及一个非传统的概念,即将服务学习经验与课程讲座相结合,以获得课程学分。在乔治亚南方大学的建筑管理项目中,我们将人类家园的房屋建造经验作为木结构课程的实验部分。学生们在课堂上学习木结构和木结构,然后被要求在斯泰茨伯勒人类栖息地建筑工地完成他们的实验室。这对学生来说是一次重要的经历,因为他们可以从真实生活中看到他们的讲课材料。这种积极的合作学习也为他们提供了在当地社区做志愿者的机会。2004年春季学期是人类栖息地实验室投入使用的第二个学期。这是一个正在进行的试点项目,最初看来是成功的。我们将继续通过学生的参与、反应和人类栖息地的反馈来评估这种学习环境。

At the University of Virginia, the School of Engineering and Applied Science established a formal distance-learning program in 1983. Both of us have been teaching in this program for nearly 20 years. Between us we have taught five distinct types of courses, most through multiple iterations. In this paper, we describe our uses of information technology to enhance the learning environment for our students including solids modeling, finite element analysis, computational fluid dynamics, and statistics and data visualization. We then reflect on the distance learning experience from both the professor's and student perspectives.
在弗吉尼亚大学,工程与应用科学学院于1983年建立了一个正式的远程学习项目。我们俩都在这个项目里教了将近20年的书。我们教授了五种不同类型的课程,其中大多数都是通过多次迭代完成的。在本文中,我们描述了我们使用信息技术来改善学生的学习环境,包括实体建模,有限元分析,计算流体动力学,统计和数据可视化。然后,我们从教授和学生的角度来反思远程学习的经验。

The University of Wisconsin - Madison and the Boys and Girls Club of Dane County recently formed a partnership to offer a sustained after-school informal science program to children ages 7-12. Designed to improve scientific literacy and engender an affinity for science, the program provides inquiry-based, hands-on learning opportunities stressing the interdisciplinary nature of science. With an initial focus on the ecology of the local watershed, participants explore methods of scientific inquiry, the nature of watersheds, connections between human activity and water quality, and the ecosystem impacted by the watershed. Given the opportunity to discover scientific and ecological principles firsthand, participants are encouraged to become stewards of their own environment and share what they have learned with friends and families. Sustained exposure to informal science activities will lead to improved performance in science classes and increased likelihood that these children will consider science and engineering careers.
威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校和戴恩县男孩女孩俱乐部最近建立了一个合作伙伴关系,为7-12岁的儿童提供一个持续的课外非正式科学项目。该计划旨在提高科学素养,培养对科学的亲和力,提供以探究为基础的实践学习机会,强调科学的跨学科性质。参与者首先关注当地流域的生态,探索科学探究的方法、流域的性质、人类活动与水质之间的联系以及受流域影响的生态系统。有机会发现科学和生态原理的第一手资料,鼓励参与者成为自己的环境的管家,并与朋友和家人分享他们所学到的东西。持续地接触非正式的科学活动将提高这些孩子在科学课上的表现,并增加他们考虑从事科学和工程职业的可能性。

Sustained exposure to informal science activities will lead to improved performance in science classes and increased likelihood that these children will consider science and engineering careers.","PeriodicalId":339926,"journal":{"name":"34th Annual Frontiers in Education, 2004.

Science and math performance of America's children has shown a decline in recent years. A study among K-S teachers in the Hillsborough County, Florida (location of the project) showed that 64% the teachers did not feel prepared in science content and 49% did not feel prepared in mathematics. This paper discusses some of the major challenges of a partnership between the University of South Florida and the school district of the Hillsborough County of Florida that was undertaken with the help of a National Science Foundation grant to improve science education in elementary classes. This project focuses on K-5 classes and is poised to infuse advanced knowledge in sciences and engineering in the curriculum within the framework of state science education standards.
近年来,美国儿童的科学和数学成绩有所下降。一项针对佛罗里达州希尔斯伯勒县(项目所在地)K-S教师的研究表明,64%的教师认为科学内容没有准备好,49%的教师认为数学没有准备好。本文讨论了南佛罗里达大学和佛罗里达州希尔斯伯勒县学区合作的一些主要挑战,该合作是在国家科学基金会的资助下进行的,旨在改善小学的科学教育。该项目以K-5班为重点,在国家科学教育标准的框架内,将科学和工程方面的先进知识注入课程。
