Engineering - Other (59)Most people are more perceptive to geometric rather than symbolic representation of information and an increasing number of educators are concentrating on utilizing visualization to explain scientific and engineering knowledge to a broad audience. A medium that combines course materials with interactive visualization can be a powerful tool for education and enhanced learning. This project is developing the Gaming and Interactive 2D/3D Visualization for Education (GIVE) tools to explain abstract engineering concepts to undergraduate students. GIVE provides an interactive gaming environment for learning that is different from e-learning systems. While retaining the advantages of e-learning systems, such as distant and asynchronous education, the GIVE system further enhances learning by incorporating game characteristics such as a progressively balanced goal, feedback, multiple-goal structure, adaptive scoring, meaningful visual presentation, and emotional involvement into the educational tool. Software gaming modules are being created for selected courses in the aerospace, electrical, and mechanical engineering programs. Three separate gaming systems are being developed aimed at high school students, in-class student/instructor interactions, and out-of-classroom practice. The GIVE modules are being tested extensively with high school and undergraduate students from underrepresented groups to ensure their broad appeal.

工程 - 其他（59）大多数人对信息的几何形式而不是象征性表示，越来越多的教育工作者集中于利用可视化来向广泛的受众解释科学和工程知识。将课程材料与交互式可视化结合的媒介可以成为教育和增强学习的强大工具。该项目正在开发用于教育的游戏和互动2D/3D可视化（提供）工具，以向本科生解释抽象工程概念。提供一个与电子学习系统不同的学习互动游戏环境。在保留诸如远处和异步教育之类的电子学习系统的优势的同时，该系统通过纳入游戏特征，例如逐步平衡的目标，反馈，多目标结构，自适应得分，有意义的视觉表现以及情感参与等游戏特征，从而进一步增强学习。正在为航空航天，电气和机械工程计划中选定的课程创建软件游戏模块。正在开发针对高中生，课堂上的学生/讲师互动以及教室外练习的三个独立的游戏系统。给予模块正在接受来自代表性不足的小组的高中和本科生的广泛测试，以确保其广泛的吸引力。
