This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5) This engineering education research award to Carnegie-Mellon University in collaboration with Drexel University will employ researchers to develop and deploy novel interactive chat-based tutorials to enhance learning in several core mechanical engineering courses. The tutorials will support self paced instruction in which students and dialog agents can engage in tutorial conversation. This capability will allow real-time interventions which can help students develop intuition and will also support technical communications needed for collaboration with geographically distributed teams. This research could provide a fundamentally new resource for engineering education and will yield insight into adaptive tutorial strategies that can most effectively support self-paced learning. It has the potential to greatly advance capabilities for interactive learning, distributed learning, and distributed technical collaboration which are all needed to better educate engineers for jobs in the global workplace.

该奖项根据 2009 年《美国复苏和再投资法案》（公法 111-5）提供资助。该工程教育研究奖授予卡内基梅隆大学，与德雷塞尔大学合作，将聘请研究人员开发和部署新颖的基于聊天的交互式教程，以增强学习几门核心机械工程课程。教程将支持自定进度的教学，学生和对话代理可以参与教程对话。此功能将允许实时干预，帮助学生培养直觉，并支持与地理分布的团队协作所需的技术通信。这项研究可以为工程教育提供一种全新的资源，并将深入了解能够最有效地支持自定进度学习的自适应辅导策略。它有潜力极大地提高交互式学习、分布式学习和分布式技术协作的能力，这些都是更好地教育工程师在全球工作场所工作所必需的。
