Workshop to Enhance Computing Faculty at Two-Year Colleges Serving Native Americans

9353963克利拟议的研讨会的目的是提高教师的背景和能力内的计算科学领域的教学在两年制学院，为美洲原住民。这一目的是通过一个为期五天的研讨会和后续活动，涉及20名教职员工实现。鼓励参与者成对申请，两个来自一个机构或一个来自两个相邻机构。 在研讨会期间，与会者被带到了最新的计算科学主题和方法，可以在副学士学位课程，在最近完成的两年制大学计算课程的建议协会计算机械（ACM）确定。通过根据报告内容开展小组活动，参与者制定了具体内容领域的实施战略、教育材料、将主题纳入课程的方法以及项目或实验室练习等项目。通过与行业代表的联系，与会者了解当前的就业机会和问题的毕业生在计算科学副学士学位。在讲习班活动结束后，要求每一对参加者在当地举办一次后续小型讲习班，传播从讲习班获得的材料和知识。这些后续活动为参与者提供了与同一机构或邻近机构的同事进行面对面交流的手段。该项目的结果将由参与者在期刊文章和会议报告中介绍。 ***

9353963 Klee The purpose of the proposed workshop is to enhance the background and ability of faculty members teaching within the area of computing sciences at a two-year college which serves Native Americans. This purpose is achieved through a five-day workshop and follow-up activities involving twenty faculty members. Participants are urged to apply in pairs, two from one institution or one from each of two neighboring institutions. During the workshop, the participants are brought up to date on the computing sciences topics and methodologies that can be offered in associate-degree programs, as identified in the recently-completed two-year college computing curricula recommendations of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). By engaging in small group activities based on the report's contents, participants develop items such as implementation strategies for specific content areas, educational materials, ways of combining topics into courses, and project or laboratory exercises. Through contact with industry representatives, participants are informed about current employment opportunities and issues for graduates with an associate degree in the computing sciences. Upon completion of the workshop activities, each participant-pair is required to conduct a local follow-up mini-workshop to disseminate materials and knowledge gained from the workshop. These follow-up activities provide means for participants to interact with colleagues in the same or neighboring institutions on a person-to-person basis. The results of the project will be presented by the participants in journal articles and conference presentations. ***
