| 摘要： | PCI annually sponsors the national PCI Engineering Design Competition, also called the Big Beam Contest. Student teams work with a PCI producer member to build a precast, prestressed concrete beam of a prede-termined length. The competition combines design, construction, large-scale testing to failure, direct communication with practicing engineers, and technical report writing. This paper presents a case study of participation by a small private liberal arts institution in the PCI Big Beam Contest. Qualitative data of students'perceptions of the competition is presented, as well as industry partners' cost-benefit analysis of their participation, student perceptions of knowledge gained, and a refl ection on how to build on the experience for future participants. |
