9629008 Edwards This is an award to provide the support this investigator requested in response to NSF 94-134, "Presidential Faculty Fellow Awards." The research component of this project is a continuation of the research this investigator has been conducting under NSF Grant No. 95-03079, "Copper Pitting and New Approaches to Teaching: A Career Development Plan," as part of the National Science Foundation Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Program. His research is directed toward improving our fundamental understanding of factors that result in corrosive behavior of materials used in distribution systems for water. Materials used in construction of water distribution systems are subject to corrosion over long periods of time which reduces the effective life of the system's components and has a potentially degrading effect on the quality of water delivered to users through the distribution system. Procedures to adequately determine the effect of corrosion can be useful in improving the engineering design of water distribution systems. This award also continues to have the intent of encouraging the investigator's early development as an educator. The investigator's education plan involves exploring changes in basic course structure that include active learning, development of supportive learning classroom environments,, and implementation of a reward structure that encourages development of non-traditional target skills such as teamwork, class motivation and interest in learning outside the classroom. His teaching plan involves implementation and evaluation of new approaches to learning in the undergraduate engineering classroom environment that will improve the way in which undergraduate engineering courses are taught. ***

9629008 Edwards这是一个奖项，旨在为调查人员提供对NSF 94-134（总统教师奖）的支持。该项目的研究组成部分是该研究者一直在NSF赠款95-03079的研究中进行的延续，这是“铜坑和新的教学方法：职业发展计划”，这是国家科学基金会早期职业发展（职业）计划的一部分。 他的研究旨在改善我们对导致水域分配系统中材料腐蚀性的因素的基本理解。 在供水系统建造中使用的材料会在长时间内腐蚀，从而降低了该系统组件的有效寿命，并且对通过分配系统传递给用户的水质量产生了潜在的退化影响。 充分确定腐蚀作用的程序可用于改善水分配系统的工程设计。 该奖项还继续鼓励调查员作为教育者的早期发展。 研究者的教育计划涉及探索基本课程结构的变化，包括积极学习，支持学习课堂环境的发展以及奖励结构的实施，以鼓励发展非传统目标技能，例如团队合作，课堂动机和在课堂外学习的兴趣。 他的教学计划涉及在本科工程课堂环境中实施和评估新的学习方法，这将改善本科工程课程的教学方式。 ***
