项目摘要
The University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) located on the U.S.-Mexico border has in the Fall of 1989, a student body comprised of 55.4% Hispanic, 33.3% Anglo, 3% Black, and 1.7% other minorities. It's Computer Science Department is CSAB accredited. There were 239 undergraduates (53% Hispanic) and 48 graduate students (25% Hispanic) enrolled in 1989. Computer science enrollments, unlike the national trend, have been increasing over the last several years. The primary goal of the project is to upgrade the quality of education offered their predominantly minority student body. To accomplish this they must: o Attract and retain students, particularly minority students, through improved instructional support and outreach activities o Encourage and prepare their most talented students to pursue graduate education either at UTEP or elsewhere o Enhance and support the research productivity of the faculty. An outstanding feature of their plan is the involvement of upper division and graduate student assistants. Each student assistant will be directly involved in both teaching and research. The use of student assistants provides many benefits, particularly in the educational program. Pipeline Activities: One of their major thrusts in computer science is to increase the number of minority students intending to major in computer science. They will accomplish this by career development support in area middle and high schools, summer workshops designed to teach teachers how to teach computer science and pre-college summer programs to introduce students to science, engineering and computer science. Recitation sections: The core of their plan is the use of student assistants which will enable them to break up large introductory classes into two components. The beginning courses will consist of large, professor led lecture sections twice weekly and much smaller (10-15 students) student assistant led recitation sections thrice weekly. The student assistants will be trained in handling the recitation sections. Such training will include teambuilding and leadership skills and knowing how to recognize problems as they develop. They will also receive support and counselling on how to solve these problems. Role models: The student assistant leaders will also serve as role models for the low division students. They will encourage the assistants to discuss their research work in these recitation sections. Curriculum development: They plan to deal with the deficiencies in their curriculum coverage by encouraging faculty to develop expertise in new areas of teaching and research. A second major curriculum development strategy is to re-orient courses in order to fit the new ACM-Denning action-oriented model of computer science education and the newly emerging ACM Curriculum 1990 guidelines which argue that laboratory work should include exercises in which students modify and explore existing codes. UTEP will upgrade the research productivity of the faculty through the avenues of technical expertise, student assistants, and the acquisition of sufficient equipment, including a network of workstations, and necessary software. These activities will maximize the number of Hispanic students who will choose to pursue advanced degrees and enter the educational or research systems as their career choice.
位于美墨边境的德克萨斯大学埃尔帕索分校(UTEP)在1989年秋季的学生中,西班牙裔占55.4%,盎格鲁裔占33.3%,黑人占3%,其他少数民族占1.7%。它的计算机科学系是CSAB认证的。1989年共有239名本科生(53%为西班牙裔)和48名研究生(25%为西班牙裔)入学。与全国趋势不同,计算机科学专业的入学人数在过去几年一直在增加。该项目的主要目标是提高以少数民族学生为主的教育质量。要做到这一点,他们必须:o吸引和留住学生,特别是少数族裔学生;通过改进教学支持和外展活动,鼓励和准备最有才华的学生在UTEP或其他地方接受研究生教育,提高和支持教师的研究生产力。他们计划的一个突出特点是高年级学生和研究生助理的参与。每个学生助理都将直接参与教学和研究。使用学生助理有很多好处,特别是在教育项目中。管道活动:他们在计算机科学方面的主要目标之一是增加有意主修计算机科学的少数民族学生的数量。他们将在该地区的初中和高中提供职业发展支持,举办旨在教教师如何教授计算机科学的暑期讲习班,以及向学生介绍科学、工程和计算机科学的大学预科暑期课程,以实现这一目标。背诵部分:他们计划的核心是使用学生助理,这将使他们能够将大型入门课程分成两个部分。开始的课程将包括每周两次由教授主持的大型讲座和每周三次由学生助理主持的复习课(10-15名学生)。学生助理将接受处理复习课的培训。这类培训将包括团队建设和领导技能,以及知道如何在问题出现时发现问题。他们还将得到关于如何解决这些问题的支持和咨询。榜样:学生助理领导也将作为低年级学生的榜样。他们会鼓励助教在这些复习课上讨论他们的研究工作。课程发展:他们计划通过鼓励教师在新的教学和研究领域发展专业知识来解决课程覆盖的不足。第二个主要的课程开发策略是重新定位课程,以适应新的ACM- denning计算机科学教育的行动导向模型和新出现的ACM课程1990指导方针,该指导方针认为实验室工作应包括学生修改和探索现有代码的练习。UTEP将通过技术专长、学生助理和购买足够的设备(包括工作站网络和必要的软件)来提升教师的研究生产力。这些活动将最大限度地增加西班牙裔学生的数量,他们将选择攻读高级学位,并进入教育或研究系统作为他们的职业选择。
