SoD-TEAM: Teaching Creativity and Conceptual Representation, a Design Toolkit

摘要计算机与信息科学与工程理事会（CISE）计算机与网络系统（CNS）设计科学（SoD）计划提案号：0614003P/I: Guy-Alain AmoussouPI的部门：部门：计算机科学机构：洪堡州立大学奖金：207,252美元标题：“SoD- team：”这个项目的目标是在研究和课堂环境中为计算机科学本科学生提供软件设计教学的新视角。该项目的具体目标是：围绕软件密集型系统的设计建立一个跨学科和多样化的教师和学生社区，为向计算机科学专业的本科生和教师教授设计科学奠定基础，让学生沉浸在为期五周的创意和概念表达方法模块中（在NSF REU站点）和其他校园，并对SoD课程的影响进行形成性评估。领导这个项目的四个核心小组来自计算机科学、工程和地理信息系统。其他参与的学院来自不同的学科。同时，他们将来自其他学科的设计元素与软件工程领域相结合，同时仍然专注于软件密集型系统的设计科学。设计科学，因为它涉及到软件和软件密集型系统，是一个新的研究领域，几乎没有现有的理论或基础。这个教育和研究项目的一个重要贡献是创建一个由来自不同学科和文化观点的个人组成的社区，开始建立这样一个基础。本项目侧重于创建本科水平的课程工具包，该工具包通过课程开发和评估引入，作为本项目研究部分的基本组成部分。本提案提出了三个产生更广泛影响的机会：主要研究目标是为本科计算机科学课程中所教授的设计科学发展一个概念基础。作为实现这一目标的一种手段，该项目将建立一个多学科社区，既可以为与软件设计相关的超能力设计做出贡献，也可以影响来自这些其他学科、文化和观点的参与者如何在他们自己的专业领域概念化和教授设计，同时影响参与者在考虑和随后教授超能力设计时的技能；通过REU项目和跨文化合作，可能会对本科和研究生计算机科学项目中代表性不足的人群的招聘和保留产生积极影响。这所学校靠近十几个土著部落，是为美洲印第安人提供教育机会的领导者。通过有意识地涉及来自不同学科和文化的设计方法，该项目期望拓宽方法和视角，为美国和国外的设计带来影响。这种更广泛的观点的价值和影响超出了与SoD提案有关的具体任务，并可能有助于使参与者更好地理解和敏感不同的观点和文化观点。项目经理：Anita J.

ABSTRACTDirectorate for Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE)Division Computer and Network Systems (CNS)Science of Design (SoD) ProgramProposal Number: 0614003P/I: Guy-Alain AmoussouPI's Department: Department: Computer ScienceInstitution: Humboldt State UniversityAward: $207,252Title: "SoD-TEAM: Teaching Creativity and Conceptual Representation, a Design Toolkit"The objective of this project is to provide new perspectives in teaching software design to undergraduate computer science students in both research and classroom environments. The specific goals of the project are: to build an interdisciplinary and diverse community of faculty and students around the design of Software Intensive Systems, build a foundation for teaching the science of design to undergraduate computer science students and faculty, immerse students in a five week module in methods of creativity and conceptual representation (at NSF REU sites) and other campuses, and conduct formative assessment of impact of the SoD curriculum. The core group of four faculty leading this project are from computer science, engineering and GIS. Other participating faculties are from diverse disciplines. Together, they integrate elements of design from other disciplines with the software engineering field while remaining focused on the science of design for software intensive system. Science of Design, as it relates to software and software intensive systems, is a new area of inquiry with little existing theory or foundation. An important contribution of this educational and research project is the creation of a community of individuals from diverse disciplinary and cultural perspectives to begin establishing such a foundation. This project focuses specific efforts on the creation of an undergraduate level, curricular toolkit which is introduced through curriculum developed and evaluated as a fundamental component of the research component of this project. This proposal addresses three opportunities for broader impact: the primary research goal is to develop a conceptual basis for the science of design as taught in undergraduate computer science curricula. As a means to attain this goal, the project will develop a multidisciplinary community that will both contribute to the SoD as it relates to software design, and influence how participants from these other disciplines, cultures and perspectives conceptualize and teach design in their own areas of expertise along with an impact on the skills of the participants as they consider and later teach the SoD; through REU programs and cross cultural collaboration there may be a positive impact on recruitment and retention of underrepresented populations in undergraduate and graduate computer science programs. This institution, located in proximity to a dozen indigenous tribal groups, is a leader in providing educational opportunities for American Indians. By consciously involving design approaches from a variety of disciplines and cultures the project anticipates a broadening of approaches and perspectives brought to bear on design both in the United States and abroad. This broader view has value and impact beyond the specific tasks related to the SoD proposal and may help to offer participants a greater understanding and sensitivity for differing views and cultural perspectives.Program Manager: Anita J.
