Computer Science (31)Intellectual Merit: The Discrete Mathematics in Computing Education project is investigating the role of discrete math in computer science education. Motivated by the successful use of concept inventories in fields like physics, chemistry, and engineering, the project is constructing a concept inventory for discrete mathematics. This inventory is being administered to an initial group of 15 public and private colleges and the results are being used to determine which topics to present, in what order, to increase student performance. This project is using methods, which have been demonstrated to be effective in other STEM disciplines, to determine the relative effectiveness of different approaches to teaching discrete math to undergraduate computer science students.Broader Impact: Through the project's involvement at over a dozen sites around the country it is having a national impact on instructors, textbook authors, curriculum planners and accreditation agencies.

计算机科学 (31)智力优势：计算机教育中的离散数学项目正在研究离散数学在计算机科学教育中的作用。 在物理、化学和工程等领域成功使用概念清单的推动下，该项目正在构建离散数学的概念清单。 该清单正在对 15 所公立和私立大学进行初始管理，结果将用于确定以什么顺序呈现哪些主题，以提高学生的表现。该项目正在使用已被证明在其他 STEM 学科中有效的方法来确定向计算机科学本科生教授离散数学的不同方法的相对有效性。 更广泛的影响：通过该项目在全国十多个地点的参与，它对教师、教科书作者、课程规划者和认证机构产生了全国性的影响。
