Abstract

In 1990, the A. James Clark School of Engineering at the University of Maryland at College Park initiated a reevaluation of the introductory design course in order to increase design in the classroom and to recruit, retain, and graduate more women and underrepresented minorities. The resulting course, ENES 100, has been highly successful. A High School "Teacher-in-Residence" program was initiated in 1995. Sue Schwartz, a Physics teacher from Montgomery County's Paint Branch High School began a residency at the School of Engineering to learn and be a partner in the first year Introduction to Engineering Design course. Throughout the two semesters she actively participated in 4 sections of the course and interacted with all aspects of the freshman program. A major outcome of the interaction was a well defined, detailed, year-long high school curriculum in engineering design. That curriculum has had a pilot test throughout the 1996-97 academic year. The high school curriculum in engineering design and the results of the pilot study is the focus of the presentation.

高中工程设计预科课程

1990年，马里兰大学帕克分校的a . James Clark工程学院对设计入门课程进行了重新评估，目的是增加课堂上的设计课程，招募、保留和毕业更多的女性和少数族裔。由此产生的课程ENES 100非常成功。1995年启动了一项高中“驻校教师”计划。Sue Schwartz是蒙哥马利县涂料高中的一名物理老师，她开始在工程学院实习，学习并成为第一年工程设计导论课程的合作伙伴。在这两个学期中，她积极参加了4个部分的课程，并与新生项目的各个方面进行了互动。这种互动的一个主要成果是制定了一个明确、详细、为期一年的工程设计高中课程。该课程在1996-97学年进行了试点测试。本文重点介绍了高中工程设计课程的试点研究结果。
