| 摘要： | In an effort to increase interest and understanding of the fields of engineering, with particular emphasis toward transportation, the College of Engineering at Mississippi State University sponsored five Family Engineering Night events. Each of these events were held at an elementary school and attended by families of the students. 585 families (parents and their children) participated in activities that simulate the work and ideas of engineering. Activities spanned the fields of engineering in order to give a more broad perspective of the role of engineers in everyday life. During the activities, participating parents gave feedback on the activities and what they learned from completing the tasks in order to assess the learning that occurred. Additionally, at the conclusion of the events, parents were asked to identify their perceptions about the efficacy of the event. Analysis of the responses, the impact of these events on the understanding of both the parents and the k-6 students鈥?understanding seems to have been significantly impacted. Many families commented that their understanding of the work of engineers was very limited prior to the event but they felt that they could explain at least some facets of their lives that were affected by the work of engineers. |
