尽管计算机科学专业的本科生入学人数在过去十年里保持强劲并出现大幅增长，但专业的保留率仍然是一个重大问题，特别是对于正在攻读算法和数据结构基础课程的大一和大二学生来说。在这项工作中，我们介绍了Bridge，这是一种软件基础设施，旨在通过为学生提供简化的API，使他们能够使用实时、真实和有趣的数据集来填充他们自己的数据结构实现，例如来自流行的社交网络(例如Twitter、Facebook)的数据集，从而能够在数据结构入门课程中创建更有吸引力的作业。Bridge还为学生提供了创建和探索他们在课程作业中构建的数据结构执行情况的可视化的能力，这可以促进对数据结构及其基本算法的更好理解；这些可视化可以很容易地通过网络链接与同行、家人和教学人员共享。在这篇文章中，我们介绍了桥接器系统、它的设计、体系结构以及它在两个学期的数据结构课程中的应用。
Although undergraduate enrollment in Computer Science has remained strong and seen substantial increases in the past decade, retention of majors remains a significant concern, particularly for students at the freshman and sophomore level that are tackling foundational courses on algorithms and data structures. In this work, we present BRIDGES, a software infrastructure designed to enable the creation of more engaging assignments in introductory data structures courses by providing students with a simplified API that allows them to populate their own data structure implementations with live, real-world, and interesting data sets, such as those from popular social networks (e.g., Twitter, Facebook). BRIDGES also provides the ability for students to create and explore {\em visualizations} of the execution of the data structures that they construct in their course assignments, which can promote better understanding of the data structure and its underlying algorithms; these visualizations can be easily shared via a weblink with peers, family, and instructional staff. In this paper, we present the BRIDGES system, its design, architecture and its use in our data structures course over two semesters.
