主讲人简介

David C. Wisler, Ph.D., NAE

Dr. Wisler is a member of the National Academy of Engineering and is recognized as an international expert in turbomachinery aerodynamics technology. Over the past 40 years, he has been conducting and managing advanced technology programs at GE Aviation (GEA), formerly GE Aircraft Engines. He is the creator and was the manager of the University Strategic Alliance (USA) Program in GEA, whose overall objective is to develop long-term, teaming relationships with key international universities to concentrate academic expertise on solving issues of critical importance to GEA business needs.

Dr.Wisler served as a member of the GEAE Compressor Design Board. His work to improve airfoil shapes and understand the complex flow fields in the rotating components of gas turbine engines has been instrumental in reducing loses (reducing fuel burn) and improving performance. He was a pioneer in being the first person to apply and document laser velocimetry to measure gas velocities inside the rotating blade rows of fans and compressors. His research is on the leading edge of technology and has won numerous, prestigious international awards for best technical papers of the year. He is the only three-time winner of the ASME Melville Medal, awarded for the best technical paper in all divisions of the ASME.

       Dr. Wisler’s active participation in teaching also spans 35 years. He teaches graduate level courses in aerodynamics and compressor design in GE’s Masters and Ph.D. program in association with The University of Cincinnati and The Ohio State University, where he holds adjunct professorships. He is also an adjunct professor at the prestigious Tsinghua University in Beijing. He has been a co-major thesis advisor for a masters and a Ph.D. student as an adjunct professor at Iowa State University.

       Dr. Wisler is a Sr. Vice President and Fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), and the Editor of the ASME Journal of Turbomachinery. He is Past Chair of the Board of Directors of the International Gas Turbine Institute (IGTI).

Dr. Wisler works actively to promote effective engineering education. He has served on various NAE/NRC Committees including the NAE Committee on Engineering Education, which published The Engineer of 2020 Phase II: Educating the 2020 Engineer. He is an invited lecturer for AGARD/NATO at the von Karman Institute, for ASME/IGTI/AIAA short courses and at numerous universities. He has given several plenary lectures at international conferences.

Dr.Wisler has been awarded the hornored professor of Tsinghua University since 2003.

CDIO 简介

自2000年起，MIT，Royal Institute of Technology，Chalmers University of Technology ，Linköping University经过四年的探索研究后，创立了CDIO工程教育理念，并于2004年成立了CDIO国际合作组织。

CDIO代表构思（conceive）、设计（design）、实施（implement）、运行（operate）。它是指现代工业产品从构思研发到运行改良乃至终结废弃的生命全过程。

CDIO工程教育理念就是要以此全过程为载体培养学生的工程能力，此能力不仅包括个人的学术知识，而且包括学生的终生学习能力、团队交流能力和大系统掌控能力。

美国Knut and Alice Wallenberg基金会曾提供约1600多万美元巨额资助。

CDIO认为学校任务是培养有专业技能、有社会意识和有企业家敏锐性的工程师。这是能在越来越依赖于复杂技术系统的环境中保持高效、创新和卓越所必需的。为此对学生提出了4个层面的能力要求

l        复杂的工程系统（第1层—技术）

l        有成熟思维的个体（第2层—个人）

l        基于工程环境的现代团队（第3层—团队交流）

l        构思－设计－实现－运作（第4层– CDIO）

对培养计划、课程结构、教学方法、教学评估和学习构架提出如下指引

u    培养计划：设置丰富的实践项目并辅以工业实习，利用课堂和现代学习场所/实验室使计划具有活泼的、实践的、团队的特色。及时与外界沟通，通过广泛评估与评价不断改进计划；

u    课程结构：基础科目：工程实践入门，激发学生兴趣，学习初步技能，并亲手制作一点简单的东西；常规科目可以调整使前后连贯。高级科目：包括产品CDIO的主要经历；

u    教学方法：现实：学习的主动性能极大的提高学习效率，所以：增加主动学习和动手实践；强调分析问题和解决问题的能力；增强概念学习；加强学习反馈机制；

u    学习评估：不同的能力用不同的方式进行考核，专业知识可用试卷或口头测验，而CDIO相关的能力则可以记录、报告、自评、互评等等形式进行，考核方式的多样化促使学习方式广泛化，并能建立更完整可靠的评价系统；

u    学习构架：建立教学计划、教学方法和学生评估体系相协调的学习构架并辅以现代学习和实践的环境。
