Engineering - Civil (54)Nearly all civil engineering structures are supported by either soil or rock and design engineers rely significantly on the soil and rock properties determined through field tests and laboratory tests to ensure structural integrity. For this reason, it is important that civil engineering students have a thorough understanding of the behavior of soils and of the laboratory techniques commonly used to determine various soil properties. This project is developing digital videos designed to improve student understanding of experiments commonly performed in geotechnical engineering and to help prepare students for professional practice as civil engineers. The content of the digital videos being developed includes instructions on how common laboratory experiments are performed as well as a demonstration of how these experiments are linked to real-life engineering projects in the field. Instruction on the reduction and analysis of actual data is included in the materials. The videos also include information about failures that have occurred or that may occur that are directly applicable to the experiment in question. The impact of the digital videos on student learning is being rigorously evaluated and the videos are being distributed broadly through commercial ventures and professional societies.

工程 - 土木 (54) 几乎所有土木工程结构均由土壤或岩石支撑，设计工程师严重依赖通过现场测试和实验室测试确定的土壤和岩石特性，以确保结构完整性。因此，土木工程专业的学生必须全面了解土壤的行为以及常用于确定各种土壤特性的实验室技术。该项目正在开发数字视频，旨在提高学生对岩土工程中常见实验的理解，并帮助学生为土木工程师的专业实践做好准备。正在开发的数字视频的内容包括如何进行常见实验室实验的说明，以及如何将这些实验与现场实际工程项目联系起来的演示。材料中包含有关实际数据缩减和分析的说明。这些视频还包括有关已发生或可能发生的故障的信息，这些信息直接适用于相关实验。 数字视频对学生学习的影响正在接受严格评估，并且这些视频正在通过商业企业和专业协会广泛传播。
