Tóm tắt
This chapter describes and analyzes one model of engineering education reform aimed at enhancing students’ ability to engage wide-ranging contexts of engineering work. Rensselaer’s Programs in Design and Innovation (PDI) use a dual-major strategy to engage engineering students in contextual analysis in a way that is continual and dynamic. The chapter summarizes PDI’s approach, assesses its significance, and identifies its limitations. The bulk of the chapter is dedicated to characterizing PDI’s approach, first by reviewing its curricular structure and then by describing some of the didactical strategies used in its core courses. Next, PDI’s achievements are assessed in terms of how they work to transform students’ experiences with engineering education in a way that enhances their ability (and willingness) to engage contextual matters. Finally, prominent limitations of PDI are identified. © 2015, Springer International Publishing Switzerland.
