Beyond the Human Calculator: A Renaissance of Engineering Education
The purpose of this project is to integrate art and engineering for a more well-rounded education, to retain engineering students, and to build a foundation for the development of teaching curriculum and textbooks. Programs and intervention methods used to introduce and implement art in engineering are not typically offered in engineering curriculum.
Primary Goals
- Enhance engineering education by including art
- Share results of the educational interventions with other institutions
- Lay groundwork for development of future teaching curriculum
Secondary Goals
- Increase retention of under-represented populations
- Increase retention of sophomore-level engineering students
