This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5)This engineering education research award to Drexel University in collaboration with Purdue University, Texas Engineering Experiment Station, and Northeastern University will employ researchers to evaluate the effectiveness of using a fully instrumented real functioning bridge called the "Learning Bridge" to provide a comprehensive laboratory experience for civil engineering students. The project will add sensing, monitoring, and data transmission capability to the bridge for use by academic institutions and develop internet portals to the learning modules which will use this data. This research would both create a unique and much needed infrastructure resource for civil engineering laboratory development and also advance understanding of how civil engineers learn about multi-domain systems. Most of the sub-disciplines of civil engineering will be integrated by exposing students to a complex infrastructure system linking social and technical concepts from the beginning of the undergraduate program. This work will contribute to better preparation of engineers to fill engineering jobs.

该奖项是根据 2009 年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法 111-5）资助的。该奖项授予德雷克塞尔大学，与普渡大学、德克萨斯工程实验站和东北大学合作，将聘请研究人员来评估使用名为“学习桥”的设备齐全的真实功能桥为土木工程专业的学生提供全面的实验室体验。该项目将为桥梁增加传感、监测和数据传输能力，供学术机构使用，并为使用这些数据的学习模块开发互联网门户。这项研究不仅将为土木工程实验室开发创建独特且急需的基础设施资源，还可以增进对土木工程师如何了解多领域系统的理解。土木工程的大多数子学科将从本科课程一开始就通过让学生接触连接社会和技术概念的复杂基础设施系统来整合。这项工作将有助于工程师更好地为填补工程职位做好准备。
