The introductory curriculum in computer Science is placing an increasing emphasis on the science of the discipline itself. The student is presented with a broad (yet detailed) overview to the breadth of the discipline in a manner similar to that of the other sciences (physics, chemistry, etc.). This is a substantial change from the introductory curricula of old, in which the primary focus was the development of competent programmers, or software engineers. It provides a proper perspective for the incoming student regarding the true nature of the discipline of computing. Furthermore, it increases student interest and motivation, as actual research topics and applications can be addressed almost immediately in the student's studies. Nevertheless, care must be taken to ensure that the students emerging from this sequence are skilled in the basic issues regarding software development. A necessary by-product of this introductory sequence must also be the generation of competent software practitioners. This proposal focuses on techniques that can be integrated into an existing computer science curriculum (that places its emphasis on the science of computing) to ensure the production of competent software developers. In particular, emphasis is placed on the development of software engineers that can function in an environment of large-scale applications, where emphasis is placed on maintainability, re-use and reliability.

计算机科学的入门课程是把一个 越来越重视学科本身的科学性。 学生将获得一个广泛（但详细）的概述 以一种类似于 其他科学（物理、化学等）。 这是一 与旧的入门课程相比， 其主要重点是发展有能力的 程序员或软件工程师。 它提供了一个适当的 对新生的真实本质的看法 计算机学科的一部分。 此外，它还增加了 学生的兴趣和动机，作为实际的研究课题， 应用程序几乎可以立即在 学生的研究。 然而，必须注意确保 从这个序列中脱颖而出的学生 关于软件开发的基本问题。 一个必要 这个介绍性序列的副产品也必须是 培养合格的软件从业人员。 这项建议 专注于可以集成到现有 计算机科学课程（重点放在 计算科学），以确保生产能力 软件开发人员。 特别强调的是， 开发软件工程师，可以在一个 大规模应用的环境，重点是 可维护性、可重用性和可靠性。
