Interdisciplinary (99)This project (SEMI-STEM) is creating instructional materials in the "science and engineering of musical instruments" (SEMI) in order to connect student learning in each of: science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). The project is developing and implementing a freshman math-science block course that uses science, math, engineering, and technology as a means to understand music, particularly the design of musical instruments. Although there have been courses for decades that connect science, technology, math, and music theoretically, this project is adding design and development components that culminate in the building of musical instruments. With these additions, this course is being created as a large "block" course sized at 7-credit hours. The learning context is inquiry-based. Students are learning to use engineering techniques as well as the underlying science to design, construct, and demonstrate musical instruments. The course development and instruction is being guided by an interdisciplinary team consisting of a physicist, mathematician, engineer, educator, musician, and science teacher.Intellectual Merit: The merit of this project rests is derived from improvements that are expected to occur in the technical literacy, problem solving ability, creative thinking, and STEM self-efficacy of first-year undergraduates who complete this SEMI-STEM course. Criteria are being developed for a general approach to developing coordinated math-science-engineering courses, especially for diverse populations, by monitoring student outcomes. This entails modifying, developing, and testing assessment tools to measure changes in students' affective attributes and cognitive skills. Ways are also being created to measure each student's prior knowledge and misconceptions, and subsequent conceptual changes as the course proceeds. Broader Impact: This project is developing a prototype methodology for integrating STEM with the fine arts and developing assessment tools to judge the effectiveness of prototype courses.

跨学科（99）这个项目（半茎）正在“乐器的科学和工程学”（半）中创建教学材料（半词），以便在每个：科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）中连接学生学习。 该项目正在开发和实施新生数学科学块课程，该课程使用科学，数学，工程和技术作为理解音乐的手段，尤其是乐器的设计。 尽管从理论上讲，数十年来一直有几十年的课程将科学，技术，数学和音乐联系起来，但该项目正在增加设计和开发组件，这些组件最终导致乐器的构建。 通过这些添加，本课程是在7个学时的大小“块”课程中创建的。 学习环境是基于查询的。 学生正在学习使用工程技术以及基础科学来设计，构建和演示乐器。 课程的发展和指导是由跨学科的团队指导的，该团队由物理学家，数学家，工程师，教育家，音乐家和科学老师组成。智能优点：该项目的优点取决于预期的改进，这些进步将在技术素养，问题解决能力，创造性的思维能力，创造性的思维，创造性的思维和良好的课程中，以使他们能够完成这一良好的努力，以使他们能够完成这个良好的努力。正在制定标准，用于开发协调的数学科学工程课程，特别是通过监测学生的成绩来开发协调的数学科学工程课程。这需要修改，开发和测试评估工具，以衡量学生情感属性和认知能力的变化。还创建了方法来衡量每个学生的先前知识和误解，并随后随着课程的进行而进行概念变化。 更广泛的影响：该项目正在开发一种原型方法，将STEM与美术和开发评估工具整合在一起，以判断原型课程的有效性。
