Teaching Laboratory for Undergraduate Computer Science

正在配备一间专门的实验室，用于教授计算机科学入门和面向服务的课程，这将大大加强在下级课程中引入实验室部分的努力。教师在实验室与学生互动，观察并协助学生从设计到实现和调试的整个编程过程。这个以微型计算机为基础的实验室由局域网连接，使学生能够更好地了解程序开发从概念到设计再到工作程序的往往是非线性的性质，这是一个在传统课堂环境中难以传授的迭代过程。这笔奖金将由受赠人支付等额的奖金。

A special laboratory room is being equipped for teaching introductory and service oriented Computer Science courses that will greatly enhance efforts to introduce a laboratory component across the lower-divisional curricula. Interacting with the students in the laboratory, the instructor observes and assists students in the entire programming process from design through implementation and debugging. The microcomputer-based laboratory, linked by a Local Area Network, permits students to gain a better appreciation of the often non-linear nature of program development from conception to design to working program through an iterative process that is difficult to impart in traditional classroom settings. This award is being matched by an equal sum from the grantee.
