EdSC members
Proposed EdSC Output Provide web-based information/curricula/podcasts to enhance existing materials Target group: Undergraduate students – Soph-Jr. Collaborate with existing organizations to Review existing on-line information Develop new on-line curriculum and media Inform of upcoming events/opportunities for students and teachers
Proposed Approach Break out into 2 groups to work on two action items described herein Please choose one or both Monthly telecon to report results to EdSC Very open to everyone’s ideas and experiences
Action #1 Compile a list of online aerospace engineering education resources “literature review” Government Industry Academia Engineering Societies Identify and pursue opportunities for collaboration AIAA website/ AIAA Educator Associate: Lisa Bacon, Stephan Brock Coordination with other organizations ASEE/ASME/NAE and other TCs Curriculum development and review Identify existing activities/competitions for students Identify contacts Identify gaps in information for college undergraduates This will help us tailor the content of our work
Some K12 websites teachengineering.org egfi-k12.org engineeringyourlife.org
Action #2 Create a list of topic areas for new web-based information (short articles or podcasts). Research, testing, manufacturing, operations, etc. Content should include some basic engineering/science principles (math) and then relate to a bigger picture problem/activity
