ABSTRACTCISE Special Projects FY06Id: CNS 0548906PI: Eric Roberts (Stanford University)Title: Northwest Workshop on Integrative Computing Education and Research Stanford University has received a CISE Special Projects award to convene a workshop in the Northwest of the United States on the transforming of undergraduate computing education in response to rapid changes in technology and its applications. The purpose of this workshop is to begin a nationwide discussion to catalzye the transformation of undergraduate computing education. Such a transformation is critical to information technology (IT) workforce preparation and the continued preeminence of the U. S. in technology innovation. The workshop will identify areas of needed change and strategies for effecting the change. The intellectual merit of this project lies in the synergies that will follow from bringing together thoughtful individuals with wide-ranging expertise in the area of computing education. The broader impact lies in the potential impact on computing education and thus a broad range of students across the United States. The number of students majoring in computing disciplines has declined in recent years even though employment demands for graduates in these disciplines continues to climb. Significantly, the number of women and minority students who consider the possibility of majoring in computing has fallen even more dramatically, further restricting the pool of available talent. Identifying innovative strategies to add and attach a broad range of students in computing disciplines will have enormous impact not only in terms of strengthening the nations economy but also in preserving equality of opportunity.

摘要特别项目 FY06Id：CNS 0548906PI：Eric Roberts（斯坦福大学）标题：西北综合计算教育和研究研讨会斯坦福大学获得了 CISE 特别项目奖，在美国西北部召开了一场研讨会，讨论本科计算机教育的转型，以应对技术及其应用的快速变化。本次研讨会的目的是开始一场全国性的讨论，以促进本科计算机教育的转型。这种转变对于信息技术（IT）劳动力的准备以及美国在技术创新方面的持续领先地位至关重要。研讨会将确定需要变革的领域以及实现变革的策略。该项目的智力价值在于将计算教育领域具有广泛专业知识的有思想的个人聚集在一起所产生的协同效应。 更广泛的影响在于对计算机教育以及美国各地广泛学生的潜在影响。近年来，尽管计算机学科毕业生的就业需求持续攀升，但计算机学科专业的学生数量却有所下降。值得注意的是，考虑主修计算机专业的女性和少数族裔学生的数量下降得更厉害，这进一步限制了可用的人才库。确定创新策略来增加和吸引广泛的计算机学科学生不仅会在加强国家经济方面产生巨大影响，而且还会在维护机会平等方面产生巨大影响。
