Abstract

ESCAPE is an acronym for Engineering Specific Career-Advisory Problem-Solving Environment. This computer interactive system is designed to provide individuals with information that can be used in their educational, career and life planning. Another purpose is to provide information on the types of problems and methods used by engineers to solve problems. The ESCAPE system has been developed to help undecided students learn more about engineering as a possible career. In order to do so, descriptions of the different fields of engineering and their functions in society are presented. Additionally, information is given about the organizations and publications typically read by the various types of engineers. Current data on salaries, employment opportunities, employment sector, and engineering functions are also included. Typical plans of study and descriptions of courses available at Purdue University (USA) are given so that a student can identify specific technical and general education courses needed to prepare for engineering careers. ESCAPE was originally developed using Macintosh's HyperCard stacks. To provide multimedia enhancement and multiple platform access, ESCAPE is now being developed using Mosaic through the Internet.

通过互联网进行ESCAPE[工程教育]

ESCAPE是Engineering Specific Career-Advisory Problem-Solving Environment的缩写。这个计算机交互系统旨在为个人提供可用于其教育、职业和生活规划的信息。另一个目的是提供关于问题类型和工程师解决问题的方法的信息。ESCAPE系统的开发是为了帮助犹豫不决的学生更多地了解工程学，并将其作为一种可能的职业。为了做到这一点，介绍了工程的不同领域及其在社会中的作用。此外，还提供了各种类型的工程师通常阅读的组织和出版物的信息。工资、就业机会、就业部门和工程职能的最新数据也包括在内。普渡大学(美国)给出了典型的学习计划和课程描述，以便学生能够确定为工程职业做好准备所需的具体技术和通识教育课程。ESCAPE最初是使用麦金塔的HyperCard堆栈开发的。为了增强多媒体功能和提供多平台访问，我们现正利用Mosaic透过互联网开发ESCAPE。
