In the past few years, object-oriented technology has become one of the dominant technologies in the computing industry. In a recent survey, it was reported that over 75% of the Fortune 100 companies have adopted object technology to some degree for their computing needs. This is in response to the increasing software maintenance cost and backlog that is so prevalent in the software industry. Because object-orientation is becoming one of the primary means for problem solving, the need to teach object orientation in undergraduate curriculum is growing. This project provides two 2-week summer workshops for faculty who do not have any formal training in the area of object-orientation. The objectives are to introduce object-oriented concepts and to demonstrate how to deliver effective courses and units on object-orientation. The major topics addressed in this workshop include (1) object-oriented analysis and design, (2) object-oriented programming, (3) object-oriented databases, (4) integrating object-orientation into computer science/information system curriculum, and (5) teaching object-orientation to undergraduates. The workshop includes lectures and laboratory sessions in which participants have hands-on exercises in each of the above main topics. Participants also plan a course or course unit utilizing object-oriented technology at their institutions during the subsequent academic year. The tools used in the workshops include inexpensive or free software that are easily obtainable by most universities and colleges.

在过去的几年中，面向对象技术已经成为计算行业的主导技术之一。在最近的一项调查中，据报道，超过75%的财富100强公司在某种程度上采用了对象技术来满足其计算需求。这是为了应对软件行业中普遍存在的不断增加的软件维护成本和积压。 由于面向对象正在成为解决问题的主要手段之一，在本科课程中教授面向对象的需求正在增长。 该项目为没有接受过面向对象领域任何正式培训的教师提供两个为期两周的暑期讲习班。目标是介绍面向对象的概念，并展示如何提供有效的课程和单位的面向对象。研讨会的主要议题包括：（1）面向对象的分析与设计;（2）面向对象的程序设计;（3）面向对象的数据库;（4）将面向对象的方法融入计算机科学/信息系统课程;（5）面向对象的本科教学。研讨会包括讲座和实验室会议，与会者在上述每个主要主题的实践练习。参与者还计划在下一学年在他们的机构利用面向对象技术的课程或课程单元。研讨会中使用的工具包括大多数大学和学院容易获得的廉价或免费软件。
