Engineering Mechanical - (56)Create your Scenario Interactively (CSI) is a novel concept that utilizes interactive storylines, 2D/3D visualization, simulation, and state-of-the-art interaction technologies. In this exploratory grant project personnel develop a CSI module, implement the module in a series of undergraduate materials, design, and manufacturing engineering courses at The University of Oklahoma (OU) and Tuskegee University (TU), assess the impact of these modules on students' learning and retention through external evaluation, and disseminate the results globally. This project provides students with a tool that enhances their understanding of engineering concepts. In the CSI module, instructors first present the scenario to attract the students' attention, and then teach the theoretical content needed to accomplish the goals of the scenario. Afterwards, students solve relevant problems associated with the scenario in the CSI environment and provide justifications for their design decisions. Simulations and visualizations for each step in the design scenario are provided for students to demonstrate the effects of their decisions. This CSI module:(i) stimulates active learning; (ii) ties theory with real-world design experience, (ii) provides more insight into engineering careers, and (iii) serves as a natural link to subsequent courses in the STEM disciplines. Use of this CSI module in courses will positively impact student learning and retention in engineering and provide a mechanism for increasing student interest in engineering careers.

工程机械 - （56）在交互式上创建您的方案（CSI）是一个新颖的概念，它利用交互式故事情节，2D/3D可视化，模拟和最新的交互技术。在这个探索性赠款项目中，项目人员在俄克拉荷马大学（OU）（OU）和Tuskegee University（TU）的一系列本科材料，设计和制造工程课程中实施模块，评估这些模块对学生学习和保留的影响，并通过外部评估进行全球分发。该项目为学生提供了一种增强对工程概念的理解的工具。在CSI模块中，讲师首先介绍该场景，以吸引学生的注意力，然后教授实现场景目标所需的理论内容。之后，学生解决了与CSI环境中情景相关的相关问题，并为其设计决策提供了理由。为学生提供了设计方案中每个步骤的仿真和可视化，以证明其决策的影响。此CSI模块：（i）刺激主动学习； （ii）与现实世界设计经验的联系，（ii）对工程职业提供了更多的见解，（iii）是与STEM学科中随后课程的自然联系。 在课程中使用该CSI模块将对学生学习和工程学的保留产生积极影响，并为增加学生对工程职业的兴趣提供了一种机制。
