The University of Massachusetts and Rutgers University propose to plan and lead a two-day workshop on Integrative Computing Education & Research (ICER), to be held in late October or early November 2005 in the metropolitan Boston or New York area. The purpose of this workshop will be to bring together a broad range of stakeholders from the northeast region with strong interests in CISE undergraduate education. Professors Jim Kurose of the University of Massachusetts and Barbara Ryder of Rutgers University will serve as workshop co-chairs. The two PIs are senior faculty members at public research universities, active in curriculum efforts at their schools, and leaders in the professional community.The ever-changing technical nature of our discipline, the growing need for integrativeand systems-level capabilities, and the new challenges faced by the students we educate(as well as those we currently fail to reach) together provide the impetus for thisworkshop. The workshop will bring together a broad range of stakeholders from thenortheast region with strong interests in CISE undergraduate education, to identify anddiscuss needed transformations in undergraduate computing education in the USA. Theworkshop will provide an important step forward in organizing and creating innovationsin an undergraduate curriculum in computing, cognizant of its relationship to otherdisciplines and recognizing its nature as a constantly evolving discipline. The output ofthe workshop will be a report documenting the ideas emerging from the workshop, aswell as a set of recommendations to the NSF for programmatic activities that could helpinitiate the needed transformations.The workshop recommendations will be aimed at long-term, high impact, and potentiallyhigh-risk, strategies to catalyze the transformation of undergraduate computing educationthroughout the nation. Strong emphasis on issues of inclusion of currently underrepresented groups in computing education also will further broaden theworkshop's impact on society. The proposed workshop is inherently a community-oriented activity, as its goal is to develop new curriculum ideas consistent withtechnological advances in the field.

马萨诸塞州大学和罗格斯大学提议计划并领导一个为期两天的综合计算教育研究讲习班，讲习班将于2005年10月底或11月初在波士顿大都市或纽约地区举行。本次研讨会的目的将是汇集来自东北地区的广泛利益相关者与CISE本科教育的强烈兴趣。马萨诸塞州大学的Jim Kurose教授和罗格斯大学的Barbara Ryder教授将担任研讨会的共同主席。这两名PI都是公立研究型大学的资深教员，积极参与学校的课程工作，也是专业界的领导者。我们学科不断变化的技术性质，对综合和系统级能力的日益增长的需求，以及我们所教育的学生（以及我们目前未能接触到的学生）所面临的新挑战，共同为本次研讨会提供了动力。该研讨会将汇集了广泛的利益相关者从该地区与CISE本科教育的强烈兴趣，以确定和讨论在美国本科计算教育所需的转变。研讨会将提供一个重要的一步，在组织和创造创新的本科课程在计算，认识到它的关系，其他学科，并认识到其性质是一个不断发展的学科。研讨会的成果将是一份报告，记录研讨会产生的想法，以及一套建议，以国家科学基金会的计划活动，可以帮助启动所需的转变。研讨会的建议将着眼于长期，高影响，和潜在的高风险，战略，以催化全国本科计算教育的转变。强调将目前代表性不足的群体纳入计算机教育的问题也将进一步扩大研讨会对社会的影响。拟议的讲习班本质上是一个面向社区的活动，因为它的目标是发展新的课程理念与该领域的技术进步相一致。
