Integration of Object-Oriented Paradigm into Introductory and Intermediate Computer Science

面向对象范式（OOP）对软件开发和使用产生了重要的影响。通过这个项目，劳伦斯大学将把面向对象编程整合到四门计算机科学入门和中级课程的核心课程中，这些课程由数学/计算机科学专业的学生和其他选择用强大的计算机科学背景补充专业的学生选修。这种整合的关键是从Pascal切换到c++作为这些课程中使用的编程语言。通过让学生尽早接触面向对象编程，指导他们如何最有效地使用编程工具，让他们了解抽象和可移植性方面的问题，并教他们如何使用已经开发的代码库，该项目将确保学生在计算机科学方面的成长与该学科的最新趋势保持同步。为了帮助实现这些目标，通过这个项目，该机构将获得支持丰富的c++环境来开发和使用类库的工作站。

The object-oriented paradigm (OOP) is having a significant effect on software development and use. Through this project, Lawrence University will integrate OOP into a core of four introductory and intermediate computer science offerings taken by the math/computer science majors and other students who choose to supplement their major with a strong background in computer science. A key to this integration is switching from Pascal to C++ as the programming language used in these courses. By providing students early exposure to object- oriented programming, instructing them how to make the most effective use of programming tools, exposing them to issues in abstraction and portability, and teaching them how to use already developed code libraries, the project will insure that the students' growth in computer science is in step with the most recent trends in the discipline. To assist in achieving these goals, through this project the institution will acquire workstations which support a rich C++ environment for developing and using class libraries.
