9315476 Denning This award of $156,000 is for curriculum development in complex systems design. This project will bring into the design portfolios of engineering students a selection of practices and tools used by researchers in engineering and science to deal with large systems. Each selection will be designed as a module consisting of handbooks, simulations,demonstrations, software systems, and specifications of experiments. Each module will be developed by an interdisciplinary team of three faculty and one graduate student. Each team's mix -- computer science, computational science and informatics, and school of education -- will assure that the source discipline's thinking will be part of the module. The proposed project will complement and leverage a major ARPA project dealing with high performance computing in the curriculum. The proposed project will also complete a suite of initiatives undertaken by the Computer Science Department at George Mason University to transform undergraduate education.

9315476 Denning这笔15.6万美元的奖金用于复杂系统设计的课程开发。该项目将为工程专业学生的设计作品集带来工程和科学研究人员用于处理大型系统的一系列实践和工具。每个选择将被设计为一个模块，包括手册，模拟，演示，软件系统和实验规范。每个模块将由三名教师和一名研究生组成的跨学科团队开发。每个团队的组合——计算机科学、计算科学和信息学，以及教育学院——将确保源学科的思想将成为模块的一部分。拟议的项目将补充和利用ARPA在课程中处理高性能计算的主要项目。拟议的项目还将完成乔治梅森大学计算机科学系为改变本科教育而采取的一系列举措。
